Sell Yourself- Sell Anything!
Each of us sells every single day. We are all sales people. How
well we sell directly affects our lifestyles, friendships, and
family life.
Professional sales people spend their entire careers consciously
selling products and services. They attend sales trainings and
seminars. They listen to motivational tapes and CDs in the cars
to stay optimistic in the face of the inevitable continuous
stream of 'Nos' every salesperson hears daily.
Selling is the world's ...Read the rest of this entry »

Ask any CFO what their first impression is when they hear the words 'Sales Training' and they might communicate back their 'Real world' vocabulary of 'un-accountable' and 'un-measurable'. Simply put, they know they're wasting at least half their sales training budget dollars; the problem is they don't know which half.

Want Money? You Got It!
Six out of six people who were asked to list their highest
priority in life said, "I want money". Maybe not in those exact
words, but that was the gist of the request. Understand, when
you ask the Universe for something the Universe must help
provide it. All six of these people are getting exactly what
they asked for. They are 'wanting money'.
None of us really needs money. This is a fallacy. We have all we
need; shelter, food and clothing. Most of us have much more ...Read the rest of this entry »

I was flying home several months ago from a management-leadership program I was teaching for a company in Phoenix, and I struck up a conversation with the gentleman next to me on the plane. During the conversation, I asked him if he considered his boss to be a good manager, and he said, "Yes, he is." I then asked him if he thought his boss was a good leader, and after thinking a moment, he said, "No, he isn't."This man was not alone in the way he thought.
