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.

Revenue is a big factor in understanding customer value, but it isn’t the only measure. There are a number of other issues that must be examined. By looking at a customer critically we can ascertain their true value to the organization and determine the level of service they should receive.

So pull out your calculators as Scott, and I discuss What is Your Client Worth? and other important topics on episode 552 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Did you make a list of New Year’s Resolutions? Is it difficult to stick to multiple resolutions. It’s easy to get fired up about a grand idea for the first 30 to 60 days of the year. Then, run out of steam. Perhaps your good intentions fade into the background as you get caught up on a To Do List.

But, not this year! Listen up to a new strategy that will carry you the entire year; as Bill, and I welcome Danita Bye to discuss 3 Ways to Wire Your Brain for Successful Selling on episode 551 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Money is a tool and resource to managing your life and career and your success, in either, is based on how well you behave with it.  Is it skill, luck, guilt, or greed.

Open up your purses and wallets, as Bill, and I discuss Your Relationship with Money and other interesting ideas on episode 549 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

“Sales is a contact sport.” We have all heard that before. I like the saying, “If you can take a call, you can make a call.” Sales is also a proactive game, with prospecting being the start of the sales conversation.

Listen up as we discuss how to start more conversations as Scott, and I welcome Wendy Weiss to discuss Getting Sales teams to Prospect – without micromanaging – on episode 548 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Knowledge has timing and sometimes it’s out of step. We may have heard the answer in the past but didn’t know the question until now. Now that the answer has been forgotten. Are you in a philosophical state of mind?

How can I get my work done when there are so many meetings – and most of them are just a waste of time! If you find this to be a challenge at your company, you are not alone. Recently one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs sent a memo to his employees on just his frustrating topic and how to deal with it.

So, if you want to get more done join Scott and me as we discuss Elon Musk’s Productivity Recommendations and other interesting information on episode 544 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Ever have a bad day turn into a bad month. Sometimes we fall into a rut and it seems nothing is working, the leads are all bad and the quotes stop turning into purchase orders.  We take emotional risks without getting a good return on our time, effort and operating expenses. How do we turn it around and start getting back into the groove?

Tune in as we talk about going from Rut to Strut as Bill, and I discuss Getting out of a Slump and other interesting ideas on episode 543 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

What attributes separate the common salesperson from a truly successful sales professional? Is it being a “good talker” as we so frequently hear? Or is it the courage to call on anyone at any organization? Is it some kind of “superpower” that they have, or could it be something simpler than that?

Maybe today you’ll hear the secret that will transform your career as Scott and I welcome sales expert Brent Widman to discuss The Importance of Consistency on episode 542 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.
