As a sales expert and someone interested in improving lives and businesses in general I strive to ensure that I am doing the best that I can to be at the cutting-edge of what is going on with new selling ideas and strategies. One area that I have some strong opinions about is social media […]
One of my clients asked me last week whether I thought great salespeople were born or made. It’s a great question… Psychologists have been arguing for years about the interaction between nature and nurture and the importance of these twin factors on your ability to achieve (or not) in your life. They will probably be […]
I want to be professional”. I’d have a decent sized pot of cash if I’d received a pound for every time a salesperson has said this to me. “I want to be professional”. What do they mean by this? Is there such a thing as a professional salesperson? Does it matter anyway? And how can […]

This may well be that people have had too little sales training in this area, it may be that they hear what they […]
I’ve recently been collating common sales questions for a forthcoming book answering all of the main sales queries and questions that sales and business people have. I thought I’d share the answer to this one with you… “How do I avoid my cold call being viewed as an interruption by my prospect?” Simple answer: You […]
Have you ever wanted to write a book? Take up a hobby? Learn a new language? Do you know someone who wants to study for a new career? Spend more quality time with their children? Get fit and exercise more regularly? Have you yearned to spend more time on the golf course? More time with […]
“Repetition is the mother of all skill.” ~ Tony Robbins, author of Unlimited Power In sales seminars and sales training programmes I often talk about the difference between sales skills and sales techniques… Sales techniques are something external to you, they are something that you hear or that you know. Sales skills are something that […]
