When Things Get Tough

/in , , , /by

What do you do when things get tough?

We all go through difficult times, but sometimes, those periods of woe are quite serious.

In sales, you may lose a big deal that you counted on. In leadership, one of your top execs might have just resigned. In the financial game, the big deal you banked on went belly-up.

In this episode, Bill reviews some ideas on how to get out of the doldrums if you find yourself in them.

/in , , , , , /by

I say this a lot, not a big fan of the idea of “closing” a sale. But it’s the vernacular that we’re all used to. I like the idea of “decision making” instead of closing.

We had 7 questions that were all very well stated. Here is a chance for you to hear them.

Stop Being a Sleazy Salesperson

/in , , , , /by

I know…no one thinks of themselves this way, do we?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how WE see the profession of selling. It matters how our customers see it. And, regrettably, there are quite a few out there who have not gotten past the stereotypical sales person as someone saying anything they can to close the deal.

In this podcast, Bill reviews 3 solutions to this misperception. Before you say, “Hey, I’m not a sleazy salesperson,” listen to this episode!

/in , , , , , /by

OK, so you don’t like my headline, huh? Well, I did it because in this episode, I address seven questions that I received following our last podcast.

These questions tell me a story about the kinds of issues sales people face when communicating premium value. And I like to think of the resistance we meet as a ‘headwind.’

I trust you’ll listen to this entire episode for it holds lots of lessons for you, whether you have these specific questions or not.
