    In March, most salespeople were very uncomfortable conducting their business over video. Look at this article I wrote about video as recently as November!  Yet today, just three months later, 49% of salespeople prefer video to a phone call and another 28% don’t have a preference.  That’s quite a change!

    So how do salespeople feel about video?

  • The Real Reason Why So Many Salespeople are So Bad at Selling

    • June 8, 2020

    • Category: Understanding the Sales Force

    In today’s article, I will explain why this problem exists and how it relates to a bigger problem in sales.

    The people who don’t return calls are usually technical in nature.  The garage door openers, gate electronics, and glass people are all entrepreneurs running small businesses and their expertise is not sales or customer service, it’s their technical subject matter expertise.

    For example, since the 30 million who temporarily lost their jobs are receiving unemployment at more than 100% of what they were earning before, they aren’t facing the hardship the media would lead you to believe and the money is there for a reboot when it comes.  But the really good news is for companies that are able to hire salespeople.  Consider this!

    They will begin reopening the economy in three phases, but with some restrictions.  Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?  It’s sure as heck much better than what we have today, but will it work?  In this article, I’ll explain why it won’t work like they hope, and what must occur for the economy to thrive again.

    It’s April 17 and nearly every salesperson is selling from home.  It’s just temporary, right?

    Maybe.  But what if it’s not? According to the President, Vice-President, Scientists and some Governors, the economy will begin reopening in stages, perhaps as soon as May 1.  So it’s back to the office and your territories, right?  Wrong.  You’ll still be home.  Welcome to the future of selling where I’ll share my top five reasons why.

  • Companies Surprised by Unexpected Remote Selling Challenges

    • April 9, 2020

    • Category: Understanding the Sales Force

    Forget Consultative Selling, Value Selling and Sales Process – the things I talk about most often.  The inability to sell that way is nothing – and I mean nothing compared with what I’m going to explain today!

    For most salespeople and companies, the last three weeks has been an absolute roller coaster. Most companies expect their sales teams to be not only active, but proactive; to replace face-to-face meetings with virtual meetings; and to continue pipeline building so that there is business to close when we return to work.  But is that what’s happening?  In today’s article, I’ll blend my usual mix of statistics with some personal observation from the clients I have been helping for the past three weeks.  I also included three videos that I extracted from a sales training session earlier this week.  You’ll be surprised!
