I know a few salespeople who were very successful, but became a disaster when they were promoted to sales manager. In their minds being a manager is an "offstage" position. All they think they need is to check on everybody, give their pep talks, motivate the team and pray for the best. Not so... ...

It is well known that "there is not such a thing as too much of a good thing". Maybe is with this is mind that salespeople run around (often in circles) trying to meet as many clients as they can. They want to do it all, in the least amount of time, sacrificing the quality of their presentations ...

Few people outside our trade can even begin to appreciate the amount of work and time it takes to develop into an above average salesperson. Not a personality. Not a type. Not a specific profile, which can be duplicated, but a master of his/her craft. By master of the craft, I mean the master of ...

I see Realtors as soldiers in their own way. Probably the most difficult thing for a "civilian" (non-salesperson) to grasp is the monumental amount of work - mental and physical work - involved with the craft. I often meet people who think the hardest thing about my job is the constant driving ar...

First, he/she doesn't have the time. Second, their job is not really to baby-sit you for the rest of your life. A great sales manager I worked with insisted that we should make our own decisions whenever he wasn't readily available. His favorite line was: "ask for forgiveness, rather than permiss...

If we could ask the most successful people, "What's your secret?" They would certainly acknowledge, "There is a secret: It's OPM - other people's money." Most of them invested their energies in taking great ideas (in some cases someone else's ideas), and conceptualizing great projects or companie...

It's obvious to anybody how stressful is a salesperson's life. Maybe that's why "they get the big bucks". Also, that would explain the many cases of alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, depression, and suicide, among other terrible consequences of not dealing with stress satisfactorily. Some of us ge...

Selling, like any craft, requires some tools - things we can use to do our job. The salesperson needs to make the audience believe his/her point of view, follow his/her directions, and do all that in a meaningful, not threatening way. How do they do that? By means of certain tools, such as the vo...

Last week's economic news should have been enough to make bonds and home loan rates "bust a move", but they didn't. "You want it, you got it", and a flurry of stronger than expected economic reports hit the wires, indicating a resilient economy. Strong economic news usually spells good things for...

Anybody can see the whole picture. In sales, however, we are supposed to pay attention to some critical details, because they sometimes hide the clue to which direction we may take in our presentation. We should take notice, among other things, of the following:What part of the presentation creat...
