Greetings,

Thank you for listening to the episode. Your commitment to developing your selling skills, mindset and techniques is our motivation.

This podcast is dedicated to the overall success in the sales channel.  From the CEO to the front line salespeople, every role must be aligned, trained and committed, every day to achieve the desired outcome.  This is not done without a commitment to ongoing career development in learning market-relevant techniques, overcoming conceptual barriers, applying proactive and productive behaviors and projecting a positive attitude.

Good or bad. Technology is here to stay.  The impact on the role of a salespeople will be determined by how company leadership uses it.  It could create greater barriers for customers, we have all experienced that, or aid in the development of selling skills.  Probably not as common.

How can technology through gamification and microlearning contribute to our ever presence and existing greatness? Close your laptops, unmute yourself and tune in as Bill and I are joined by our Guest: Kristen Taraszewski to discuss The Gamification of Training and other great ideas on episode 482 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

A common myth and reputation of salespeople is they are motivated by money, and they don’t care where is comes from.  This is simply not true. More money will solve a lot of problems, however, success from a different type of motivation can bring more joy than money.

Hold on to your wallets, as Bill and I discuss – Are You Too Money Motivated? and other great ideas on episode 481 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

In business you try to be polite, thoughtful, and agreeable; knowing that it’s important to get along with people and build a respectful relationship. But no matter how hard you try, sometimes you run into people that are just plain difficult to deal with. It could be your boss, a co-worker or even a customer. So, what do you do? How can you build that relationship without being a doormat?

Well, listen close, pilgrim, as Scott and I discuss, Dealing with Difficult People and other important issues on episode 480 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

How can we increase revenue from existing accounts?  We’ve talked about referrals, and increasing the price, however, we may have left out some important techniques and strategies. Which is why we are joined today with another special guest, Victor Antonio.

Join us as, Bill and I and Victor Antonio discuss Mastering the Upsell and other great ideas on episode 478 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Having a conversation with someone that disagrees with you could be the beginning of a difficult situation.  At the same time, it could be a relationship builder.

I know that is hard to believe, which is why Bill and I have dedicated a complete episode to Managing Conflict and other great ideas on episode 477 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

The very first step in any selling process is to find someone to tell about your product or service. Cold calling is fine and has an important place in sales, but it can be frustrating and usually has a low contact and acceptance rate. You can do much better if you can get a referral, if someone you already know advises you to talk to one of their contacts.

So put down that cold call list as Scott and I discuss After Sales Issues – Referrals and other great ideas on episode 476 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

What do you fear? In the words of our guest, “There is another fear that is a stumbling block for us all. What’s more, it is a far more personally destructive fear. I’m referring to the fear of change.”

Do you fear change? Well, you are about to find out as Scott and I welcome Author and Sales Expert Rob Jolles to episode 474 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.
