Demonstrations. Trials. Workflow blue-printing. Proposal iterations and. Board decisions that seemed to drag on for ever and left you hanging on the edge of your seat.

I don’t believe in Goal Setting… I’m not saying SMART goals aren’t smart, but they are kind of ho-hum, don’t you think? Plus I think they are part of the reason that many of us abandon those New Years resolutions or long-term to-do lists or even year long targets and fall off the results focussed bandwagon. Well, maybe not for everyone, but for many of us… I think the real secret is ‘ emotive buy-in ‘ and I learnt this on 24/3/2010.

I was listening to a CD a few years back that a friend loaned me – it was Anthony Robbins speaking on success, way before he brought me on to be is APAC coach. And I still remember to this day, the words that stuck with me. In his booming, scratchy voice, he said… “Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure” It stuck with me because I had been super guilty of focussing over the years, on success, and usually for the benefit of others by putting way too much weigh

On the weekend I was clearing out my office in preparation for our move to the USA. And in doing so I came across a manual/workbook that was published back in 1964 (before I even started school). It was the original Success Motivation Institute manual, complete with transcriptions produced by Paul J. Meyer. And right at the very back of the book, written by author and sales trainer, Dottie Walters was a small tab titled: The Seven Secrets of Selling To Women.

Sounds like a terrible mix. But for too long, that’s been the de facto experience for a sales development representative. “There’s an unspoken dog-eat-dog mentality, and you have to be at the top.
Speaker: Ardath Albee, B2B Marketing Strategist and CEO of Marketing Interactions
Most buyers today spend approximately two-thirds of their journey digitally and anonymously before contacting vendors directly.

Perceiving interest as intent will lead you down a rabbit hole with no program performance.

They need information about their customers fast — with enough time to act on it in meaningful ways.
