Winners: people at the top of their game, successful, productive, and moving forward. Who doesn’t want to be a winner? These are the people who get respect and admiration from others. But what does it take for YOU to be a winner in what is most important to YOU? Some people think winners are just lucky. But most winners know that it’s like the swans you see swimming–beautiful and effortless from above–with a lot of activity under the water.

I participate in lots of sales calls. Sometimes observing what’s going on, sometimes as a contributor. Most of the time, they seem like “verbal ping pong.” Someone asks a question or makes a statement (seller or customer), the other responds. Back and forth, sometimes agreeing, sometimes objecting, all practiced, mindless responses–back and forth.

In my world of sales and sales training , I hear the term “consultative selling” thrown around quite a bit. That term can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, so I will give you my definition. First of all, being a consultative partner means two things. First, it's about establishing comfort and trust between the buyer and the seller, and second, it's about understanding your prospect’s problems at a deep level.

Today, I had the pleasure of working with the students of Howard Dover’s UTD Digital Prospecting class. We were talking about the importance of business relevance and acumen in engaging customers. The session was fascinating, the questions were great. I’m so happy these undergraduate students, looking toward careers in sales, are tackling this issue (I wish experienced sales people were as sensitive to this, as they.).

If you’ve worked in sales, revenue operations, or finance for any amount of time, I don’t have to tell you how important sales compensation is. You already know the right sales compensation plan can motivate your team, improve their performance, and boost overall job satisfaction. And, conversely, you already know the wrong compensation plan can do the exact opposite- demotivate teams, decrease performance, and cause high rates of sales rep turnover.

In selling efficiency, there are three main “value categories” that you can bring to the table when proposing a project: utility-cost financial benefits; non-utility-cost financial benefits; and, non-financial benefits. The more benefits you can come up with in each of these categories, the more value your offering has (and hence, the more likely your prospect will approve the project).

Like most CEOs, you’ve probably had some bad experiences trying to hire sales leaders in your company. The root of the problem? Many CEOs think they can hire someone to take over the sales team so they can step away and focus on other things to grow the company. It’s just not that way! The CEO can’t step away from sales but instead must have a plan for supporting sales leaders every step of the way.

Most sales representatives struggle to figure out a better procedure, but there is a way to improve sales more quickly. A traditional approach is, ‘if you don’t know, just ask.’ But the qualifier is the differentiator for success, which is who you ask matters most. Adding to the dilemma is that each company operates differently, so how can one uniformly ask the right question and person to improve sales?

I think we can all agree that the best use of a salesperson’s time is not creating collateral. Cutting and pasting a deck together or editing a product sheet on the fly means less time prospecting and closing deals. Yet that’s what many sales reps do—especially those working at manufacturing and industrial companies. They can’t find the content they need, so they create their own—and cut into valuable selling time.
