    Are you giving your power away to the wrong coach or mentor?

    Today’s podcast is about the risks associated with mentoring and coaching. I have personally seen too many people give their power away or get off track from their own personal values by selecting the wrong coach or mentor. This podcast talks about the difference between certification and qualification. It also talks about how we may want to select and mentor or coach in the future. If you like what I have to say or you disagree please comment, I would like your feedback.

    Leadership in a Digital Age – Is there a Leadership 2.0?

    I’ve heard many people (including myself) talk about the fact that the rules of business have changed.  In sales and marketing this is true. What’s interesting is that the rules of leadership are universal. Offline and online networking and building social capital follow a very similar strategy. Today’s podcast addresses this challenge and opportunity.

    Getting Real About Prospects – Is It Really A Sales Lead?

    This is a question that I get a lot. I look at a sales professional’s prospect list and pipeline and it looks full. Then we begin to ask questions about what criteria has been used to qualify them for our time and energy through-out the sales process. We often find many un-profitable prospects on the list. Symvolli has done a great podcast on this topic as well (I listened to it and thought I’d post a response via podcast). The key here is it’s better to “get real” about what we truly have for opportunities and then build a solid plan to help us get to where we want to go.  The alternative, pushing unqualified leads through the pipeline is exhausting and will have us show up short of quota at the end of the year.

    CEO Attraction – Sales Podcast on Selling to CEO’s

    Five Minutes With VITO Podcast with Shane Gibson

    I recently received a copy of Five Minutes with VITO. I had already read “Selling to VITO” several years ago and often suggest that sales professionals who want to close big deals read it.  VITO stands for Very Important Top Officer and is in my opinion your most important prospect and target market.  This most recent iteration of Anthony Parinello’s sales classic, now co-authored with David Mattson of Sandler Training is a timely, to the point and inspiring read. Five Minutes with VITO is a must read for those that are frustrated with long sales cycles, corporate dead-ends in the sales process, and pretty much anyone else who is serious about meeting their sales targets.  The book will not tell you where to find CEO prospects, nor will it talk much about key account management or “Closing the Deal.” Instead it focuses on the critical 5 minutes with THE senior executive in your sales process, and how to deal with this true decision maker during this “make-you-or-break-you” window of time.

    Dealing with the Dark side of business criticism and failure

    If you’re out there taking risks as a sales professional, or you’re promoting a vision for your community, there’s a good chance you’re being criticized.  In fact the more you do often the more visible you are, and this equates to more opportunities to create opposition. You may be a business leader that’s transforming an industry, a teacher who does things differently in the classroom, or a blogger that pours your heart out for the world to see. Today’s podcast is about you, and how you can tackle this challenge. – Namaste Direct File Link to Listen The post Dealing with the Dark side of business criticism and failure appeared first on Shane Gibson's Podcast – Social Selling – B2B Sales and Influence.

    Having an On-Purpose and Successful 2009

    Sometimes as we’re hit with constant marketing, social pressure, and community expectations we can set goals and strive for “things” that really don’t inspire or matter to us. We can forget the ultimate goal is happiness, and that happiness is routed in truth.  The biggest truth happens when we are authentic and in line with our own personal values. In our values reside that which we love, and that which we are good at, our talents and our personal gifts are very close to those activities, people, and things that we value the most. You can follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/shanegibson. Today’s Podcast is about identifying and searching for our deeper purpose in business, community and life.

    Rapport Building it’s about being totally present

    Today’s sales podcast is about being totally present, aware and sincerly engaged.  Too many people feign rapport or interest and then whey wonder why they don’t land the deal or are unable to fortify client relationships.  Successful sales people are remembered because of the way they make people feel when they’re in their presence.  Your feedback and thoughts on this podcast would be greatly appreciated.

    Selling in Tough Economic Times Sales Podcast

    Today’s sales podcast is about Selling and Succeeding in Tough Economic Times.  It is the first in a series of podcasts designed to help sales professionals and entrepreneurs weather today’s global financial storm.  In my opinion we are truly in turbulent economic times, not necessarily tough times.  The rules of the game have changed permanently with the advent of a multitude of shifts including the introduction of disruptive technologies to almost every industry along with true globalization and the meltdown in the banking sector.  I personally would like to have you post your success stories, challenges, and thoughts here so that I can respond to them in my next podcast on “Tools for Selling in Tough Economic Times”.  The diagram below is for your reference and is talked about in the podcast.

    Complex Sales Training Podcast Part 1

    Today’s podcast is Part 1 of a 3 part podcast on Complex Sales and Managing Complex Business Relationships. This complex sales podcast introduces you to the process by first defining what complex sales is and then moves into part 1.  In Part 1 of the Complex Sales series we are introduced to the 6 major Power Players in a Complex Sale or complex business relationship: The Navigator, The Ruler, The User, The Protector, The Contributor and The Opposer. Definition of Complex Sales (From Wikipedia): Complex sales, also known as Enterprise sales, can refer to a method of trading sometimes used by organizations when procuring large contracts for goods and/or services where the customer takes control of the selling process by issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) and requiring a proposal response from previously identified or interested suppliers. Complex sales involve long sales cycles with multiple decision makers. Multiple stakeholders and stakeholder groups contribute to every complex sale. Any product or service may become a complex sale. In some instances a complex sale occurs when the market is mature and the stakes high enough to warrant attention from a variety of stakeholders in the buying organization. In other instances a complex sales process is needed when the buyer has never had experience with the vendor, technology being sold, or if the solution is business critical or impacts the buying organization on a strategic level. The series of filters, purchasing steps, and stakeholders involved are designed to reduce the risks associated with making the wrong buying decision… …often the sales person is required to have a set of skills that are more in line with a subject matter expert or consultant than a traditional sales person. This type of sales person can often be referred to as a Key Account Executive or Complex Sales Executive. (Full Definition here.) The next few podcasts will hopefully help you develop an understanding of what core skills and strategies will be required to navigate and close complex sales.

    Sales Podcast – Mentoring and developing high performance sales people – Sales Blog Entry

    Today’s sales Podcast is focused on prioritizing our efforts as leaders and mentors when we are developing our sales people to big deal closer status. Many of us spread ourselves too thin with too many people and often invest too much time in the weaker members of our sales team. If you truly have 3 hours a week to for your mentorship program you need to invest that time and your knowledge and insight with the right people. Many mentorship and development programs get abandoned by the leadership in an organization because they get disenchanted with the results. This Podcast will focus on mentoring the team members who will give your organization the biggest return on investment.
