Do you remember the Little Red Hen? She wanted to bake some bread. She asked some friends to help with the various tasks, such as harvesting the wheat, taking it to the gristmill, gathering the ingredients, and making the dough. All her friends refused. The Little Red Hen replied “Then I will do it myself.” On the day when the delicious smell of freshly baked bread wafted out of the Little Red Hen’s kitchen, her friends arrived, asking for some. The Little Red Hen flatly refused to share her bread, of course.Although we can admire the Little Red Hen for her industriousness, we can also wonder why her attempts at delegation and teamwork failed. The Little Red Hen wasn’t a leader. She didn’t know how to create a team or share her vision.For business owners and managers, deleg
Sales Skill #1: Qualifying Fast to Avoid Wasting Sales Time
Do you chase after your prospects until they tell you yes or no? Do you ever tell your prospects "No", as in "No, I am not going to sell to you"? There are many things in selling that you do not and will not be able to control. The one thing that you do have control over is your time and how you choose to use it.
To qualify fast you must have a set of criteria describing who you will and will not sell to. You want to sell to the prospects likely to buy your products, and drop the prospects unlikely to buy (so that you can find more good prospects). Sounds simple, but too many salespeople let sludge buildup in their pipeline, constricting the total revenue that flows out.
KEY TIP: Develop a list of sales qualifying criteria that prospect's must meet in order for you to invest your sales time with them.
Sales Skill #2: Motivating Prospects
Qualifying goes beyond budget, authority, and need. You want to sell to prospects who *want* to buy from you. Finding prospects that need our products usually is not difficult. Finding those who really want our products though can be very hard if we wait for them to come to us.
Products sold by professional salespeople are more complex and offer more value than commodity products offered through stores, catalogs and brokers. Prospects generally do not know they need such products, until they first discover that they have a problem. This process can take seconds or years depending on the nature of the problem (and the prospect!). Prospects get motivated to work with you when you help them to discover that you solve their problem better than anyone else does
KEY TIP: Determine which problems that you eliminate or solve for your prospects. Plan and ask questions to uncover and agitate those problems.
Sales Skill #3: Selling to People Outside Your Comfort Zone
Most salespeople who are "people persons", already think that they are good at this. Let me ask you a question. When you last lost a sale, how was your rapport with the key person who decided against you?
You can't afford to look away and ignore people that you don't have natural rapport with. The good news is that people like people like themselves. All you have to do to gain rapport is stretch your behavior outside or your comfort zone until you become like another person.
KEY TIP: Match speech patterns with people to gain rapport outside of your typical sports or weather conversation.

Outsourcing and its corresponding job losses in the US continue to create endless arguments, as expected.All of a sudden the fact that some jobs – quite a few really – continue to be exported is becoming a political issue. All of a sudden also, a number of “experts” make the case for or against job losses but always blaming one or the other political faction in the country for what they consider the most alarming job drain in history since Augustus allowed those specialist of his who could read crow innards, to accept jobs in the provinces of the Empire.“What is the story, Professor?

Not your performance, their performance. The audience must go out and apply the information you have given or they wasted their time. Even worse, YOU wasted their time. As speakers it’s our obligation to supply practical methods for the crowd to make our words and ideas reality in their lives.1. Design an Easy to Remember Outline. Some people will take notes, others will not. Create your presentation so that the main points are unforgettable. You’ll need to limit those points to five or less and tie them directly to the purpose of your talk. (This is covered thoroughly in the Instant Speaking Success System.)2. Furnish Handouts When Appropriate. When the setting allows use handouts that let the audience follow along. Some feel that fill in the blank type handouts are elementary. Th

What is the one thing that 90% of all print ads lack? A HEADLINE.When you read the newspaper, would you read an article without a headline? No. The headline gives you a “shorthand” for what the article is about. The Headline is what lets us know if we want to read the article.It’s the same with your advertisement. The Headline tells the reader “HEY! This concerns you! Read this!”Most ads fail to generate a profit. Here’s one major reason; The reader never read the ad. Why? There is no Headline to tell the reader why they should read the rest of the ad. The headline tell the reader the benefit of reading the ad. What’s in it for them.“But,I used a Headline & it didn’t make any difference.”Here’s why a Headline fails;● The Headline is your store

There's two ways to make more sales. One is to close more of the prospects you do contact. The other is to get more prospects into the pipeline. When prospecting, you can look at voicemail as either your friend or your enemy. With 70% of your prospecting calls going to voicemail, it is time to make friends with it.
Although you will never get even close to getting every voicemail returned, you can get a significant number of your messages returned when treat them as a one-on-one commercials.
KEY TIP: Prepare 3-5 separate benefit-focused voicemail messages that you can leave over a period of days or weeks for a single decision-maker before you give up on her. Each message should focus on a single unique customer-focused benefit.
Sales Skill #5: Delivering "I Gotta Have That" Presentations
Let's face it, a lot of business presentations are really boring. Salespeople talk about why their product is great, why their company is great, and the history of their company. Prospects don't relate to this. That's why they look so bored.
Great presentations get the prospect's imagination involved. The best way to involve the imagination is through storytelling. Stories rich in descriptive detail get the prospect picturing them using your product and evoke that "I Gotta Have That" reaction.
KEY TIP: Study 1-3 of your best customers and develop detailed customer success stories that will put emotional power into your presentations.
Sales Skill #6: Gaining Commitments Instead of Closing
Eliminate "Closing Cheese" from Your Vocabulary. You know what I am talking about: "Would you like that in gray or in black?" or "If I can show you how this will help you will you buy today?". Lines like these are why salespeople are down on the bottom of society's respect list somewhere near lawyers.
Learn the power of asking for incremental commitments from the beginning of your sales cycle. It is not an easy shift to make. First you got to get the prospect to show you what they most want (Hint: See Skill #2 above). Then you can negotiate incremental commitments in return for more of your time, information or resources.
KEY TIP: Practice asking for simple commitments once someone has expressed a clear want, pain, or desire.
Sales Skill #7: Have More Fun
Sales is fun when you are in control and closing deals. Selling is miserable when you are under pressure to close business.
Take the pressure off yourself to close and instead focus on qualifying and motivating your prospects.
KEY TIP: Shift the responsibility back to the prospect to solve his own problems, and the pressure to make the sale will be gone. Focus
