One Jabra Evolve 75 Wireless Headset ($300 value). More conversation. More action. Above all else, these are the cornerstones of a successful sales organization. It’s simple, really. If you’re not starting (and continually advancing) your sales conversations, then you’re not moving deals closer to the finish line. Over time, more leads will go cold, your pipeline dries up and the business suffers as a result.

We have all had the opportunity to be screwed by a provider, I am not saying wireless, but as an example. What’s funny about the whole thing, is many companies, for example wireless, will do this to “how can I help – I apologize and see why you feel that way”; then do nothing, you bring up your next point, and they go right back to “yes, I can see that – I apologize and see why you feel that way”, and keep it going for a long time without resolution, until you drop the F-Bomb.

I have seen wireless salespeople drive a battery across town to avoid prospecting. By Tibor Shanto. Ask most salespeople what their time is worth, or if they value their time, and they respond in the affirmative. But as is often the case, the observable behaviour says something different. Not only do they seem to not worry about how they use time, but many also seem to go out of their way to waste it. I’ve started asking salespeople “What’s your time worth?”

Commodity, the word is like Kryptonite for salespeople, say it out loud, and you can see their social status and sales erode. Somehow over the years, the word has come to be something negative in sales. The implication becomes that it is low value, easy to undercut on price, delivers few loyal customers, and generally undesired.

We’re onto their tricks of calling from cell phones so “wireless caller” appears. When you get referrals, you get meetings with one call. I’ve heard it takes at least seven to 10 touches for sales teams who cold call and cold email prospects to connect with decision-makers. They research their targets (sometimes), identify trigger events, and create a compelling message (or so they think). But even after all that effort, many never get a foot in the door.
