Some folks that I speak with are under the impression that, as I am a Solution Partner for Nimble CRM, I sell Nimble. The absolute last place that I want to find myself in would be in a consulting contract with a person or company who I convinced that Nimble was the right solution for them. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I’ve also found this same axiom to be true in providing sales training as an independent consultant. I need to get better at explaining that my goal is not to change the way that they sell, they are professionals, but rather to give them a few ideas that might take their sales to the next level. I have a tendency to be … too forceful.

Professionally, my reading focus is generally limited to one topic only … selling. You might think that something as fundamental as selling would not be the subject of a veritable fire hose of topics touting the changes in sales, the advances in sales, and the shifts in salesperson responsibilities. I live and breathe sales.

Effective listening skills are critical assets in all aspects of both your personal and business life. In selling, being a good listener will be a determining factor as to whether or not you make this sale. Selling has often been referred to as “the science of communication and persuasion”. That’s a good thing!

I do integrate behavior and selling skills assessments into this process, but only with the top candidates. For that matter, my selling style has also evolved, substantially, through the years. The funniest part of selling is that it isn’t even sales skills that will earn you that sale. I can train a monkey to sell low bid.

I remember 20 years ago selling a sign to an attorney. Many of those may be related to marketing which I abhor or they might be used to clumsily circumvent those selling activities that I consider to be both personal and professional.

My business is no different. I’ve never taken a class or hired a consultant. And, if we are talking about opportunities , let’s apply this to selling. As I’m turning 65 this year, I had probably best get busy. Selling is a tough business. I am self-taught. Yeah, sometimes it shows but, I’m ok with that.
