While driving into work earlier this year, I heard an incredibly powerful performance question while listening to the Dan LeBetard with Stugatz ESPN radio show. An ardent Michigan State Football beat writer asked this question during the Big 10 media day. “You came to Ann Arbor with perhaps the most hype of any coach in the history of the Big Ten. Maybe in all of college football.

It’s time we change the way we sell. The old, tired, product-centric, sales techniques and methods have had their time. Ask any buyer. They are fed up with the countless, lame, intrusive, valueless emails, cold calls and LinkedIn requests for 15-minutes of their time. They are tired of salespeople not understanding their business and pitching irrelevant solutions.

At the same time, the CBS News / New York Times poll asked a similar group the same question, but with a slight difference. "What percent of people that you know are trustworthy?".

Understanding the Sales Force

I don't get stressed anymore when I'm driving. All it took was for me to not exceed the speed limit. I'm not sure whether it was my navigation system repeatedly telling me to "obey all traffic laws" each time I started the car, or my wife reminding me that I needed to be a good role model for our soon-to-be driving 16 year-old son. I admit that this was much easier for me to do after I gave up my Jaguar for a Lincoln Navigator.

I probably should come out of the closet. I’m a pushy sales person. Perhaps some will recommend a 12 step program or some other therapy to make me less pushy. But, to be honest, I like being pushy. My customers and clients, for the most part, appreciate it too–though at some times my pushiness makes them uncomfortable. (I’ll come to that later.).

In the middle of his tirade, he tells a burned out, tired-looking group of men, “Always Be Closing!”.
