As we were growing up, one of our fondest memories is often associated with sitting on our parent’s knee, being read a story. It created that initial and long-lasting bond between us. Maybe we were intrigued by a fairy-tale, or inspired by a true story of courage and bravery. Whatever it was, the fact we were regaled with a story gave us a taste for using our imagination.

Most people know who first responders are…those heroes that charge into danger to save the day! In selling efforts, though, we are more likely to run into non-responders. Those prospects who seem to run away from you after a conversation. The non-response reaction starts harmlessly enough. You have a meeting with a prospect that seems to go well.

Over the last several weeks, I’ve seen a similar issue with 4 different companies. On the surface, each seemed to have a very disciplined approach to developing their teams and driving performance. Each spoke about the structured review process. They had pipeline reviews, deal reviews, 1 on 1’s, and others. I’d been asked to sit in on some of the reviews, helping the management team improve the results from these, as well as to help improve their coaching abilities.
