My focus is on helping the individual rather than helping the organisation. If each individual hits their sales target then the organisation hits theirs. Results flow from the bottom up, not top down.
It’s not about teaching people to sell, rather helping them Think, Question and Communicate.
If you only can ask a salesperson to do one thing… then this has to be it… Show me how you are going to make your number… Think
If you can only give one piece of advice about understanding people… then is a very powerful statement to get into your head and truly understand… Behaviour follows intention… Question.
A salespersons value to their customer is not measured by what they know about their products, but the questions that they ask… ask great questions and you will get invited back… Communicate.
