Winning at Selling Podcast : Episode #670

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.

How would increasing your word-of-mouth reputation affect your sales pipeline in the short and long term?  A referral from your network is one of the most credible and cost-effective forms of marketing.  For salespeople, activating and amplifying word-of-mouth can shorten your sales cycles and build trust faster than any website or email.  But is this an effective form of prospecting for immediate sales results?

Let’s dust off that prospecting plan from 2007 as Bill and I dive into Increasing Word-of-Mouth and other noteworthy nuggets on Episode 670 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

Golden Nuggets:

In the long run, you make your own luck — good, bad, or indifferent.” —Loretta Lynn
