Greetings, y'all:

 

Yee-haw!  Guess we're skipping spring and heading straight to summer here in Texas - yesterday was a toasty 85.

 

1) Below: a fresh way to unstick a stalled selling process.

 

2) Sign up now: If you missed the first one, fear not!  We're re-running our health & wellness trends seminar on Fri., 4/20.

 

3) TX/OK/LA subscribers only - we need volunteers for a pilot of an in-person sales training seminar we're testing this summer. Email us for details...

 

4) New survey: "Do you always eat breakfast?" Your mom's not reading this, so you can tell the truth :)

 

5) Another YouTube video - Subway spoofs Pac Man to raise awareness of kids and obesity.  The look on the kid's face at the very end says it all.

   

Have a wonderful week,

Notice that we emphasize ACTION -- what the prospect actually...

2) Only milestones represent progress towards a decision.

You'll improve your selling effectiveness by understanding...

3) Plan your selling activities around milestones.

Plan every sales call - whether over the phone or in person - to achieve...

4) Recognize continuations for the non-progress they represent.

It's easy to feel good about a continuation...until you realize...

5) Tie compensation to milestones, not just sales.

A compensation plan tied strictly to done deals only makes sense if...

6) Tired of unreliable and ridiculous sales forecasts?

Don't ask your salespeople to tell you their estimate of...
