Have you ever noticed that some of the great stuff you want to show up in your business is not easily measured? It's easy to measure quantities, of money, production, sales calls, numbers of time the phone rings before it's answered... Because it's easier, businesses tend to default to measuring and managing only straightforwardly quantifiable things.Quantifiable stuff has to be measured in business, it's true. You'd be failing in your accountability to your bosses, your bankers and your shareholders if you didn't do it. And by a
I had to. I was stale. I was restless. I was a C+ technician on my best day. But I had people skills. I made friends easily. I liked people. I took the personality profile. I was made for the job. I read a lot. I was curious. I was ambitious. I have always been an entrepreneur. Now I was an Intra-prenuer.
Selling Commercial Service agreements in Seattle Washington is tough. The Pacific North-WET. Average annual rainfall, 32 inches. Average annual temperature, 55 degrees. When compressors fail, we switch to Outside Air, Economizer mode, aka, “Free cooling :-)
I was calling on people who didn’t want to see me and talk about something they didn’t care about. Getting the appointment is the toughest part of the sale. I would walk into 50 buildings, to get 40 names, talk to 30 people by telephone, to secure 20 face to face appointments, to close 5 deals. Start with 50, end with 5.
One such person was Barb Gregory. She was the facility manager for Bartell Drugs. They had 40 locations. One contractor was serving all 40. They were a good company. I had friends working there. As I listened to her, it was clear she was fairly content with whom she was using. It’s a common challenge. How does a salesman (or saleswoman) overcome that one? Then something I had read in a Sales Book by Frank Bettger sparked an idea. “Compared to what or whom?”

Leisure time is more important than ever before. It is increasingly likely that both partners in a household are working full time; commuting adds to the burden of the daily routine, whether to school or to work. There is also the increasing danger of sedentary occupations, producing the demand for active leisure or ‘recreation’. More working time is spent every year sitting in front of a computer terminal or on the telephone, followed by driving home or sitting in a train. At home, the temptation is greater than ever before to sit in f

So I was sitting in my home office looking through my bookshelf that contains my library of marketing books and courses. I started paging through one of the manuals that came with a course I bought over a year ago.While paging through one of the chapters I stumbled across a statement that not so long ago got me through some tough times while building my success.That statement was “fall forward fast”!Think about that statement for a minute…What does that mean to you?I am going to get into what that sta

Let me just wrap up what we talked about in part one:Our whole universe including us is nothing else but energy. Looking at a human being individually you'll see a tiny energy field. This tiny energy field is operating in a much larger energy field. That means that everything is connected with everything and thus part of the same source energy. Our thoughts and the subsequent feelings are energy and we are sending out this energy. The Law of Attraction is matching up this energy with the very same kind of energy = like attracts l
“How do you know you are happy?” I asked Barb. “Pardon me?” she asserted. “How do you know you are happy? Compared to what? You have only ever had one contractor. As good as they are, one thing I do know about human nature. When we think we have it all, arrogance and complacency creep in. Wouldn’t it be nice to raise the bar a little?” It was a bold move. I had nothing to lose. I hadn’t made a sale in awhile.
“Where are you going with this?” she asked, leaning forward like the RCA Dog listening to the phonograph for the first time. “Well, I just wonder how much better your service would be from ABC Mechanical if they knew WE were in one of their stores.” The silence was deafening. I just smiled and sat back. I knew I had struck gold. Thanks, Frank. It was sound business logic. What could she say? I had established reasonable doubt, a rock in her shoe.
Waiting for her to finish her thought process, I finally interjected one more idea. “All I am looking for is one store,” I said with a smile curling up slowly from one side like the Mona Lisa. “Just one, the worst one. The one you have the most problems with. It will give us a chance to demonstrate our competency. How do you feel about that?”
After another long pause, she said, “Okay. Just one. Here is the manager’s name and number. The address is…” I was delighted. It had worked!
We went after that store with gusto. Our best tech solved their ‘Three compressor fa
