Managing Your Boss - An Important New Years Resolution
Most people have one. Yet attending to their demands and idiosyncrasies can be nerve-wracking. Wise people engage good boss management strategies. Boss support, guidance, mentoring and influence will be your reward. After all, bosses are not exalted and invincible gods. They are human beings with special roles and authority as well as the requisite levels of human weaknesses, problems and pressures.Under these demanding c

Are you the consummate sales professional?

Do you have what it takes to do what it takes to run circles around your competition?

Last Sunday and Monday I was hanging out with six of my Speaking buddies in Chicago and we talked about everything under the sun including the word competency. It's an interesting word. Webster's Dictionary says it means - sufficient means for one's needs, adequate, ability, and fitness.

On page 298 of my dictionary you'll find these three words, compete, competence, and complete. Here's how I see it. If you're going to compete, you must have competence, and it must be complete - no missing pieces.

Can you pass this sales fitness (Selling Skills) test?

I'll be using the word "System" a few times. A system is defined as a method or a plan, an established way of doing something - in writing. Whereas to improvise is to do things on the spur of the moment.

1. Do you have a system for working new leads? Or do you improvise?

2. Do you have a system for making appointments using the telephone? Or do you improvise?

3. Do you have a system for qualifying your prospects? Or do you improvise?

4. Do you have a system for quantifying your prospect's pain? Or do you improvise?

5. Do you have a system for presenting your products/services as solutions? Or do you improvise?

6. Do you have a system for dealing with the price objection? Or do you improvise?

7. Do you have a system for preparing sales proposals? Or do you improvise?

8. Do you have a system for following-up? Or do you improvise?

9. Do you have a system for closing the sale? Or do you improvise?

Which of these pieces (Systems) are you missing? Congratulations if you already have these NINE systems. Keep reading if you're missing any.

Do you have any idea how effective you'd be in front of all prospects/customers if you had a system for each of the major steps in your selling process?

I have to fess up here. I was a big time improvisor in the past. However, not any more. Today I rely on "Systems" to beat my goals and to achieve personal success.

It's Your Move: The First Step to Accountability
Every place I go, if I’m in an organization long enough, I’ll hear people lament about the lack of accountability. Specifically, I hear things like: “They just don’t seem to care enough, I guess.” “Those action items never get done – I don’t know why we even identify them.” “I have trouble getting people to be committed to achieving the things they are responsible for.” “Everyone wants to blame someone else – it is never the
