Success Starts with Mastering Focus. Are you determined to make 2017 the year you will have breakthrough results? In my previous video, I talked about FOCUS being the key factor for success. I don’t care if you are the CEO, an executive, manager or sales rep, you are inundated with back to back meetings, phone calls, and voice messages, literally hundreds of emails, and numerous texts.

No More Cold Calling
JANUARY 5, 2017
Can one call generate leads better than ten? You already know my point of view on cold calling. No salesperson should ever have to cold call to generate sales leads. It’s an ineffective prospecting strategy and a nuisance to buyers, most of whom ignore cold calls. For account-based sellers , it’s not only a waste of time. It’s a waste of perfectly good relationships.

Outside of the fact that we have many profiling tools, there are some behaviours that many of us notice – either online or in person – where we wonder if there is something wrong with the way we see people, if there might be something amiss with ourselves, or if there really is justification in the names we mutter under our breath about the way some people show up.
