Author: Mark H. Kalan As a long-term practitioner of marketing, now over 40 years in duration, I have often been challenged by the concept of “The Brand,” what it communicates, what it means, what it stands for and how it is integral to an organization’s position and ultimate success in the market. Bringing a background in consumer packaged goods (CPG) that incorporated executive-level marketing and sales stints on the client, vendor, and agency sides of the business, and now as a professor of s

Back in the 1960's it made sense for gasoline prices to be discounted down to the nearest 9/10 of a cent because gas prices ranged between 17.9 to 18.9 cents. But when gas prices are around $3.00 per gallon, how does 9/10 cent continue to make sense? Some habits die really hard. I don't know about you but some things just don't make sense to me. I loved the Leavitt/Dubner series of books on Freakonomics and thought I could share some interesting sales and sales management data that make little s

If you want more of your sales reps to hit their revenue goals, the secret is in sales leadership and strategy.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail across the ocean blue with the goal of finding riches in the East Indies. However, though he had a clear goal, he didn’t have a map, so he fell well short of his intended destination, landing in the Caribbean islands instead. (Despite what many believe, he didn’t discover continental North America or even set foot there.).

Regardless of the medium you choose to prospect, and I hope you start with the telephone, the outcome is a meeting. Many variables play into your results, but three tend to dominate your ability to secure a meeting. Trading Value. No matter what words your dream client uses to reject your request for a meeting, something you might refer to as an objection and what I would describe as a concern, their unwillingness is their belief that the meeting would be a waste of their time.

It’s been a while since I’ve whined about the stupid prospecting emails I get. I could literally post every day–even if I set the criteria “I’ll only post unsolicited marketing emails from ‘Global 1000’ corporations.” Today, I received an intriguing email from a Fortune 50 corporation. I’ll overlook: The fact that our company is already a customer, using some of the services they are trying to get me to buy.

Sales will always be a numbers game. But when you express those numbers as minutes in the day, they suddenly become a more visibly finite resource: Just 1,440 minutes in the day. Still, fewer minutes in a workday. Even with a 12-hour work schedule, there are just 720 minutes (or 43,200 seconds) in a given workday. The question is, how many of those minutes are spent managing the close?
