Now this post isn't a true review or event plug for the Growth Conference, even though I can't wait until the next one, I wanted to share my insights from one of the sessions I went to.
"How to Build a Selling System in Your Company" by Tom Black
Think about it, when you are a student you have to sell yourself and abilities to your teacher in exchange for a good grade. When you are an entrepreneur, you sell your services or product for both money and recognition. When you are applying to that job, you have to sell yourself and experience to the company in exchange for a job. No matter what path you are taking, you need to know the basics of how to sell and how to sell well.
Tom gave us a brief overview of what it means and what it takes to be a "professional seller"
- Find your own personal definition of success: progressive realization of a worthwhile goal or dream
- Realize that "We're ALL in sales"
- Four things determine results in sales: foundation of values, number of people you see, quality of your presentation, quality of your prospect
- Values of successful sales people: law of averages, happiness is a way of traveling, you can control your attitude, persistence is all powerful, constant improvement is possible, think BIG, growth means leaving your comfort zone, change is good
- Goal Setting: write it down, set a time frame, tell someone important to you, daily activity equals results, set high and low goals, use small increments, don't stack goals, do track results, NO EXCUSES
