Iannarino

More. More. More! More emails. More cold calls. More opportunities. More pipeline. I don’t suggest that activity isn’t important, nor would I argue with you that too many salespeople do too little with their time and energy, but there is a difference between activity and effective activity.

Rainforests and Torn ACL's Provide Insight into Effective Selling

Understanding the Sales Force

Based on the non-stop rain and humidity we have had for the last 6 weeks in Massachusetts, you could probably make a case that not only do we now have a rainy season, but where our house is located, we must live in a rain forest. Hold that thought. Dinger, our GoldenDoodle, who I have featured in several articles , tore his ACL last week. The X-Ray clearly showed that the tissue which is supposed to connect the tibia and the femur was torn.

Chasing Mastery in Sales

Iannarino

Selling may be your job. You might have fallen into a sales role because you needed work, or perhaps the allure of making more money attracted you to sales. Others were pushed into a sales role by a manager or a leader. Few salespeople chose the role because they wanted to pursue the craft. There are many people who have the skills and mindset to sell , but they avoid it because of the mostly outdated stereotype of the pushy, self-oriented salesperson.

How and When to Engage with Client Problems

At the first sign of trouble, the salesperson who disappears has damaged their relationship and put future business at risk. It doesn’t seem to matter how or why the client is struggling to produce the results they were sold and promised. Much of the time, the client’s problem is not the result of the salesperson’s actions or the lack of action. Most of the time, it’s a problem of the teams that deliver the solution.
