A guest post by Jack Kasel, Sales Development Expert, Anthony Cole Training Group. In his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People , Steven Covey has a quote… “Seek first to understand. Then to be understood.” I think that statement is especially true for sales professionals.

A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page. One day, when I’m wildly (or even just mildly) successful, I’m gonna blame my parents for tricking me into thinking I was capable. I mean thanks. This was my response to her. I put it in a meme and post on Facebook. Capability is useless without execution. Capability means nothing without doing.

Yesterday I noticed a large, furry, dead bug on the hood of my car. It seemed to be attached to the outer lip of the hood - like the edge of a cliff - right where the hood drops down to the grill. I got out of the car to remove the chunk of dead fur and I was shocked to see how wrong I was. It was dead all right, and it was furry. I'm not a tall person so I wasn't sitting high enough in the car to notice the distance between the bug and the lip of the hood but my estimate was off by more than 2

It’s time to look past the “80/20 rule” (the idea is 80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers). We need to look at the inverse. 80/20 means also that 80% of your hassles are going to come from 20% of your customers. Let’s translate it even further. 80% of hassles really is […].

A guest post by Walt Gerano, Sales Development Expert, Anthony Cole Training Group. There is a saying that goes something like “If you do what you have always done, then you will get what you have always gotten.”. I talk to a lot of salespeople who continue to plow ahead working harder to make more sales with the same approach they have used for years.

Hey peeps, I’m sure some of you have been wondering, where the hell have I been. My blogging is down. I know. It’s something I’ve been wrestling with for a while. I’m not producing nearly the number of posts this community has become accustomed to. The reason is three-fold. One, I’ve been blogging for 6 years and I’m struggling to come up with fresh, unique content every day.

Before I go any further, I know there are some detractors out there who will claim, “Smart Marketers,” is an oxymoron–something like military intelligence or sales professional (I tossed that in out of a sense of fair play.). But, for the most part, I meet a lot of very smart, well intended marketing people who, somehow do terribly stupid things.

I was the marketing manager of a medical device company and we were near the end of the day’s sales meeting. Forty salespeople were in the room; I was last on the program. Everybody wanted to get out, hit the lobby bar and trade stories about high prices, the lack of new products, how their new quotas were too high and their territories too small. As I closed my part of the program by projecting an ROI (number of raw inquiries, qualified leads, and projected sales) from our new lead generation p

Participating in a webinar the other day, for a moment I was stumped by a question, “Does everyone need coaching?” I guess, more than being stumped, I was stunned with the question.
