Recently, there have been a lot of salespeople soliciting me. Maybe, they think I could be a decision-maker for my company. For the most part, they are mistaken. Most of the approaches are the same — the email reads like it was sent to 1,000 emails, and they hope one sticks. However, every once in a while, one really stands out. The ones that stand out are short and to the point of why I would want to reply to them.

With the rise of virtual training, hybrid workforces, and self-directed learning, what is the role of in-person training? Is in-person sales training dead? Yes and no. It’s true the global pandemic radically changed how sales organizations think about live events, including salesforce onboarding, education, and SKOs that were once the norm. The pandemic challenged sales teams to try new and creative solutions for training, most of them digital-first.

Learning to sell well is no easy task, and the profession requires grit, admission of errors, and the courage to continue despite the backtalk one may hear in the office. Sales success requires learning from every incident that materializes poorly. The willingness to proceed, no matter what we encounter, teaches us more valuable lessons. By reviewing our poor experiences, we may realize the need to change habits, take classes, and study better ways to move forward.

Imagination. It’s a wonderful thing as a child, but as an adult, it can often keep you from engaging in specific scenarios. I see it often from media sellers when it comes to being asked to sell new digital solutions… “if I engage in this conversation, what if they ask me… fill in the blank.”.

Being a successful real estate agent in a booming housing market is relatively easy. The only thing you have to worry about is competition from other agents. The housing market has cooled in recent months as the U.S. approaches a recession. Now, as a real estate agent, you’re competing over fewer properties. As home values decline, you’ll also earn lower commissions, which makes it hard to keep up with inflation.
