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).

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.

Industry researchers have found that a typical salesperson only spends about a third of their time actually selling. The rest is typically spent researching prospects, logging activities, and organizing to-do lists. When time is money, sales professionals can’t afford to waste precious hours doing something that could be automated. They need information about their customers fast — with enough time to act on it in meaningful ways.

An interview can make or break a company’s relationship with a new hire. A thorough interview process, using a validated talent assessment, looking for strengths, talents, and fit for the position, and examining fit to culture, can provide a strong jump off to a successful and lucrative career. A desperation hire where a “warm body” is hired with no thought to their success can only lead to frustration, bad feelings on both sides, and repeating the process when the new hire quits.
