Sales 2.0
MARCH 12, 2020
I’m getting that feeling right now that I am living in a movie. Big events are happening so quickly it’s hard to keep up. One of the lessons I’ve learned is a crisis is not the time to get stuck. It’s time to take action…and to do so soon. In the sales realm I believe we may be about to see a big shift. The global crisis is taking up everyone’s mindshare.

The idea that “sales is a numbers game” contains an absolute truth worth observing. The truth is that selling requires action or “ activity ” if you prefer. All things being equal, more activity is better than little—or no—activity. But activity alone is not enough to produce success, even if one occasionally bumps into success by taking massive action.

Do you have an allergic reaction to the phone? Get over it. I published my second book— Pick Up the Damn Phone!— in 2013. I was alarmed that people had stopped talking to each other. I was perplexed by their over-dependence on technology for practically everything—even to the extreme of texting someone “I love you.” Yep, that’s for real and sent me over the top.

One of the most unfortunate stereotypes about sellers is that we are self-centered. Buyers wrongly assume that all sellers are only after their money and only care about themselves. That’s why buyers are guarded. To dispel this unfair notion, you have to work harder and prove that you are interested in your buyers’ needs. You have to demonstrate an orientation to others to prove you’re not selfish and concerned only about yourself.

60-something years ago, sales was a very different game. . Back then, salesmen – I mean sales people (glad that’s changed) – would button up their best suits, court prospective clients in-person with bone-in steaks, and discuss business over a handful of dirty martinis. . Back then, the customer was always right, and calling them “sir” or “ma’am” was the norm.
