When I started selling technology I was told to get to the office at 8AM so I could cold call CIOs and catch them before their assistants came in. When I did succeed in catching a CIO on the phone (one in say 50 dials) they nearly all dismissed me as a time waster. In fact, looking back on my efforts, I agree with them. I was a time waster. I didn’t have any knowledge of their organization and issues.

At the risk of sounding preachy, we’re continuing what we started last week in the CONNECT2Sell series on Critical Thinking. Last week, we looked at truth as an absolute standard that buyers demand. This week, it’s a similar take on credibility because that, too, is in short supply (at least according to buyers!).

Great salespeople don’t become great because of the training they receive. They don’t become great because of all the sales tools they employ. And they don’t become great because they are an expert in the mechanics of the sales process defined and promulgated by the experts. Great salespeople are born to be great. Their DNA possesses the natural attributes that lead to consistently high performance.

If I’m to believe the pipelines I spend lots of time reviewing, there is an odd phenomenon, at least 95% of customers make their purchase decisions and issue POs on the last day of the quarter. At least that’s the data sales people tend to share with me. Every pipeline I look at says the same thing. I got to wondering about that. Since we are in Q4, I think it’s remarkable and very kind of customers to come in from their holidays on December 31, to hand us POs.

It is vital that you respect your client. But it is equally important that you don’t fear your clients—or your prospects. If you are afraid of clients or prospects, your aversion to conflict will cause no end of problems, beginning with things like not wanting to interrupt a prospect with a phone call , and later, should you get that far, conflicts around the decisions and investments they should make.
