    Understand What Flows Through Your Business to Find Improvement
    I remember once seeing a cartoon which showed two people working a counter. On the wall behind them was a sign which read, “Quality Work, Low Price, Fast Service – Pick Two.” In order to deliver all three, which is what customers expect, it’s important to understand the flows of your organization.The first flow is, of course, cash flow. This comes in two varieties, money coming into the organization, revenue, and money going out, expenses. Understanding cash flow is not as easy as it appears.

    The Sales Training Series: Dealing With Sales Objections and Stalls
    Most salespeople think of “stalls” and “objections” as synonyms. Wrong. Stalls and objections are both things you may hear after you have asked for commitment, but an objection is a specific reason not to buy. In a stall—“I need to think about it”—the customer offers no particular reason for hesitating.Almost all salespeople buy in to the stall. Very few ever get the deal once they do.What the stalling customer is really saying is this: “I’m not quite sold yet. Sell me some more.” Well then, by all means, do some more sellin
    I arrive with about 350 other guys. We smile at each other but really don’t talk much. I guess we all feel that we are too good and too proud to be at a sales-training seminar.

    The trainer/speaker/guru promenades into the room and starts glad-handing everyone. He is dressed in a $1,200 suit with a sequined T-shirt underneath.

    He lets us know right away that he just never wears a tie. (Suddenly all of us are loosening our ties, slipping them off, and stuffing them into our briefcases.)

    “OK fellows, get up!” he tells us. “Put down your pens and pads; you won’t need them today. I am going to make you a successful sales rep by changing how you think, not how you write. I want everyon

    Be Prepared for the Unexpected
    How long has it been since you last had to search for a new job? These days it’s not at all unusual to change careers or jobs several times in a lifetime. The idea of retiring from the same company after a lifetime of service is much less a reality in today’s world than it was a couple of decades ago. The likelihood of unexpectedly losing your job is greatly increased today due to a number of different factors such as corporate downsizing, technological evolution, and globalization just to name a few. Being thrust into a job search c

    The Perils of Positive Thinking
    Something bothered me about the teeth of the consultant who was sitting in front of me, on the other side of the helpdesk. I couldn’t identify what it was immediately. I was at my bank’s foreign exchange division, hoping to get some advice on an upcoming business trip. As the positive and friendly consultant was talking, I suddenly realized what seemed out of place for me. Embedded in his front tooth was the ultimate symbol of business success - a gold dollar sign! I struggled to concentrate on our conversation. I caught myself in forced contem

    5 Clues You're in The Wrong Job or Career
    I worked at the Safeway from Midnight to 9 stocking shelves, so I could race to catch a bus to my college classes and afford the rent on my glorious 1 room bachelor apartment.The job was fairly easy, but the two guys I worked with were something else. One fellow couldn’t wait for retirement, and he let everyone know it, and the other was, well, finicky about everything.“Face the can labels FORWARD, Gary! People want to know what they’re buying.”I was lucky my eyes were even open, but this odd couple had a remedy for that, t

    Reluctantly, we start pushing the chairs and table into the corners. Are we supposed to be in nursery school? I thought I was finally going to learn how to close more deals.

    The lights are dimmed. He begins with a whisper. “Close your eyes… think back to when you were a small child. Remember that story your mom would read to you. The one that you already knew by heart but wanted to hear again and again. The story that shaped you hopes and dream. What was it?”
