  • Are We Wasting Our Time on LinkedIn?

    • June 29, 2015

    LinkedIn is a tool that I use more than some and less than others. As busy as I am, I’m unable to spend an hour on LinkedIn each day, but I do visit daily. I am engaged. And I always wonder if it’s a complete waste of time. In this article, I’ll share the highlights and lowlights from my informal LinkedIn effectiveness analysis and you may be very surprised with my conclusion.

  • Leads are Making Salespeople Lazier Than Old Golden Retrievers

    • July 7, 2014

    We all know that the introduction beats the crap out of the lead follow-up 95 times out of 100.  If that’s the case, why are so many salespeople spending all of their time attempting to generate and follow-up on the leads that produce results 5 times out of 100?

  • Derek Jeter Shows Salespeople How to Convert Leads to Opportunities

    • May 13, 2010
    • Posted by: Dave Kurlan
    • Category: Understanding the Sales Force

    Derek Jeter, the leader and all-star shortstop for the New York Yankees, goes all out running hard to first base on every ball he puts into play.  As a result, it’s easy for management to expect the same kind of hustle and effort from everyone on the team.  After all, if the star does it, then everyone should do it. Other teams?  Not so much.  David Ortiz of the Boston  Red Sox never runs hard on a ground ball so what does management say to a younger player who also fails to run hard?
