Discounting – The Death of a Business

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Discounting is dangerous. It’s very tempting for an eager salesperson to close the business by offering a discount, but even a small discount can make a huge impact on a company’s margin. But the good news is that you don’t have to discount (at all or as much).

Bill gives you 3 ideas that can help your sales team overcome this temptation and how to avoid the topic of discounting from being apart of the conversation.

Are You Willing To Change Your Identity?

/in , , , , /by

Bill met with a VP of Sales recently who was working with a business coach. The VP felt pretty happy overall and even noticed some movement with him and his team, but he is considering taking a break from the coach. He told Bill, “the coach focuses a lot on issues inside the team and it always seems to get better for a while but goes back to the way it was.”

All good Coaches should be working on two areas, Issues but more importantly, Identity. Not your Identity as in your name and race, but how you see yourself and your potential. When we change our identity, that is when real growth occurs.

I had the pleasure of working with a young man a while back who was one of THE most ambitious people I’ve met. He took virtually every coaching point I gave him.

He was faced with a dilemma – should he keep doing things the old way – cold calling, traveling, selling, OR – should he switch course?

I, of course, suggested he switch. On this episode of The 2X Podcast, I’ll share his story.
