Are your lead generation efforts meeting expectations? That’s what Ascend2 wanted to know when it interviewed 375 marketing, sales, and business professionals for its Lead Generation Strategy Survey late last year. Only 13 percent of respondents felt their lead generation efforts were “very successful.” While they may be ready for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, […]

My Three Sales Mantras 1. Believing Is Seeing In sales, we start with believing. We must believe in ourselves first in order to see the successes. I call it the “mirror test.” If you’re the little kitten looking into the mirror, you have to see a lion. If you wake up in the morning, and […]

The ‘old school’ of sales and marketing leads us to believe that negotiating and closing a deal is a competitive activity where the style of approach is more confrontational rather than consensual and there are ‘winners’ and ‘losers’.

There’s no glory in learning how to “take criticism.” Despite what you have probably been told about needing a grow a “thick skin”, there is something magically inspired about taking life deeply personally. About getting offended, hurt, angry, and even. You don’t have to find the positive in everything others say to you. Sometimes there […]
