We are all living in a world where everyone is OVER the pandemic. You, your prospects, and your company. So if you haven’t already, you will soon see your company expecting more of you and requiring more of you, including raising their prices and possibly your quota. You may have already seen signs or heard rumors of this “gearing up” for more sales and profitability. And your prospects in a B2B world are feeling the same pressure within their own companies. To get moving on the things that may have been put on hold - things that will make their companies more noticeable and profitable. Knowing this, it’s a great time to be in sales!

For the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about the questions you most ask me. So let me share with you the biggest question I have each week as I create the podcast for you, what do I talk about? While I do teach specific sales tips and techniques about what is working for me now, I believe that learning how to sell is so much more than tips and techniques. Because you are using so much more when you meet with prospects than just tips and techniques.

This week we are going to talk about my favorite subject - cold calling. OK, so I know I’ve lost a few of you there. Cold calling and cold emailing go hand-in-hand. When you have a strategy in place to use them both together and alternate your touches between cold calls and emails - it works.

Today’s question for discussion: Is using my CRM really to help me, or does it just help my sales manager to keep track of me? Listen, and then let me know what you think!

This week I continue with the top questions I receive from you. Question #2: “What is your top sales tip?” My answer: There are so many “top tips”, but my top tip, right like it says on my website is, Plan Your Time Effectively. If you are not succeeding in reaching your sales targets every month, it’s likely that you have an alignment problem – managing your time and creating habits that actually align with what you want. The key is to create a strong system so that you will use the time you have to create better sales results. So this week we are talking about managing your time effectively and being aware of exactly how you are spending your time to make the biggest impact.
