Don’t miss your chance to cash in on my No More Cold Calling book anniversary! One week from today—April 14, 2016—marks the 10-year anniversary of my first book, No More Cold Calling ™.

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . This past Monday we looked at how to tailor your approach to engaging with different segments in your potential buyer pool.

Years ago sales owned the conversation. If you were a buyer you got in line to find someone to help you learn enough about a new product or service on the market so you could make a “sound” decision – especially if it was a business transaction where it is businesses selling to other businesses. Unfortunately, a lot of sellers took advantage of that scenario thus giving selling a bad name.

They are simply not interested in being sold something via email or through marketing blurb. Others may open your message and read it before again throwing it away or deleting it.

Sales leaders spend countless hours trying to improve their team’s overall results. What’s working? What isn’t? Who needs to step up? What skills/knowledge are lacking within the team? Often, changes are made yet the expected results don’t follow.

The training stage of any sales onboarding program is by far the most important. This is when the new reps learn the essential knowledge that sets the stage for their success in subsequent steps in the onboarding process, and then eventually in their future selling activities.
