Dissecting A Bad Sales Effort

Posted October 28, 2013


As a small business owner, I’m on the receiving end of some really awful attempts by sales people to get my attention.

Time out: Right about now you might be thinking “Oh great, another holier than though sales trainer, criticizing the heck out of some poor sales rep!”

Think again sister!

First of all, you don’t go 30 years in sales as I have, without making some pretty epic mistakes, so I completely understand that none of us are perfect so . . .

In this week’s free audio sales lesson, without naming names or being an ass, I’m going to take you through how I was approached vs. what I believe would have been a better way.

Resources Mentioned In This Week’s Podcast . . .

1)    We’re Giving Up Way Too Soon!

2)    Creating A More Thorough And Consistent Prospecting Plan.

3)    What Do You Have Beyond A Cold Call And An Email?

4)    Your Sales Efforts Accelerate When They Smile At Each Other.

5)    At the end of the podcast I mention our upcoming, online sales management program. Click here but do it soon because we launch next Wednesday, November 6th and yes, we tape each session just in case you can’t make it!
