By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . People generally have one of two relationships with deadlines, they either love them, and use them to be more productive. Or they hate them, ignore them, avoid them, or are terrified by them. The former is usually the more productive group. While productivity is normally defined as more units of output with the same or less units of input, the only thing we’ll mess with or alter in this post, is we will look at the units of input as being time.

Cold calling is dead. Not. Cold calling doesn't work. Untrue. Cold calling is a waste of time. True if you suck at it. False if you're good at it. Back in the 20th century, when I first started cold calling, I hated it so much that I vowed to become so good at it that I could reach my new appointment goal in an hour instead of the 6 hours it was taking each day.

One of the BEST ways to communicate with others is to be able to think on your feet. It’s called extemporaneous speaking. Yea, I know – big word. It is the ability to respond “in the moment” often without preparation to a buyer when they throw you a curve as they reply to you in a normal conversation.

I’ve read and heard (from a well-known industry analyst firm) that best-in-class companies close 30% of sales qualified leads while average companies close 20%. Those results factor in lead leakage of between 52% to 86% of the marketing qualified leads put into the top of the funnel. If you do the math, this tells us that sales reps are expected to work 1000 marketing qualified leads down to 14 to 48 sales qualified leads and close 20% or 30% of those leads respectively; and end up with 3 to 14

I often meet salespeople in my visits to clients and ask them for their favourite strategies when it comes to sales. Sometimes they tell me a couple of ideas, but mainly I’m met with a blank stare or a mumbling of some quote or other they’ve heard over the years. Why is it so important to have a strategy when you are selling? Because it helps you build confidence when you are working with prospects and clients, and enables you to change direction when buyers put up obstacles or objections.

Funny many salespeople believe they have a sales commitment attitude and consequently behavior. However if this was true why do so many in sales fail to achieve their sales numbers as well as dislike marketing or prospecting such as cold calling. Years ago I read something written by Zig Ziglar who stated “attitudes are habits of thought.” I agree with Zig and would add the following “enmeshed in a plethora of feelings.” Zig also defined sales as the transference of fe

Inexperienced salespeople don’t know what they haven’t seen for themselves. Usually, they gain their experience through the school of hard knocks. Unfortunately, this takes time. But if they emulate a successful practitioner, this timeframe can be shortened and the predictability of results can be improved. A sales mentor’s sales intuition has been honed by many years of customer calls; therefore, their judgment is respected and advice highly sought after.

So how long have you been in sales? Is your tenure a few years or decades? This statement was recently made in an email to me: “I’ve been in sales my entire career.” For many this statement is very true because everyone is in sales if we believe Zig Ziglar’s definition of sales to be the “transference of feelings.” As to actual time as a salesperson, this individual’s selling career spanned a total of seven (7) years.
