I’m getting that feeling right now that I am living in a movie. Big events are happening so quickly it’s hard to keep up. One of the lessons I’ve learned is a crisis is not the time to get stuck. It’s time to take action…and to do so soon. In the sales realm I believe we may be about to see a big shift. The global crisis is taking up everyone’s mindshare.

By Tibor Shanto. The tremors just keep on coming and people keep trying to adjust to the daily change. I understand the initial shock of facing a canyon of empty towers; every one has gone home. Seeming like they took all your opportunities with them. Maybe, but I doubt it. But the goal is to defeat the virus by staying in, not by not working.

By Tibor Shanto. Discovery is a great opportunity to not only dig in with the buyer but also get to the “Real” of the sale. There is a discovery question you should always ask. More importantly, it is an opportunity to differentiate yourself based on how you sell, not your product. Asking the fast-food main-stream variety discovery questions leads to that level of nutritional value to a sales conversation for a buyer.

Author: Randy Illig In 1990, I’d just started a business that would prosper or die based on my sales success. No sales, no company. At the time, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” was making waves on the bestseller lists, so I picked it up. As popular as it was for leaders and goal-getters, I discovered the habits applied just as well to salespeople, and the book became my how-to manual for selling.
