    Be A Coach-Mentor - Develop Your People to Their Full Potential
    Smart leaders and managers know that it is important to build and maintain the value of their greatest resource - their people. It's difficult to develop the potential of your people if you have not ascertained their existing skills, knowledge, and abilities - in other words, their competencies.Each indivi
    One of the best qualities of the successful sales professional is that when they play, they play hard, and they play to win.

    I remember being introduced to a potential customer many years ago, as we were exchanging personal information it came up that we both played golf, the person who had facilitated the meeting said, "Bill is a real student of the game."

    Bill and I did meet on golf course a few times, and I came to find that he really was a student of the game. Bill not only constantly tried to improve his golf game, his swing, and keep up with equipment changes; he also studied and appreciated the history of the game. I was and still am just a little better than the average hacker (as an active sales representative, you don't want your manager to see your handicap to low, they will wonder how you spend your time).

    Bill had a partner in his business, it was a somewhat successful business, however they were in a niche that was at that time growing very rapidly, their business was also growing but not at an astounding rate. I remember thinking that if Bill devoted as much energy to his business as he did to his golf game, he would be very successful.

    Service Businesses Can Learn a Lot from Manufacturing

But are they really, having been in the service business and worked along side the Manufacturing Sectors of many an industry, it is amazing the insight into true efficiency one can get.For instance an interesting thought exercise is to stud
    ir business was also growing but not at an astounding rate. I remember thinking that if Bill devoted as much energy to his business as he did to his golf game, he would be very successful.

    This same analogy applies to sales people. A few years back I was running a monthly sales meeting for our group. One of our new sales reps had come to the sales force from another department, he had no formal sales training, however someone in our organization saw some promise for him.

    This “rookie” sales person did enjoy some early successes in a territory that had up to that time been relatively ignored. I have always believed that sales is a learned skill and that the learning never stops, as such I stated that there was no such thing as a “natural born salesperson”, our new “rookie” sales rep looked as if he was going to be ill, he really thought that he was the answer to sales, that he knew all he needed to know, and that we should all emulate him, we would then have his success.

    I’m sure you can guess the eventual outcome, he was not nearly as successful in the long run, and in fact is not in sales today.

    The moral of the story; become a true student of the game, the learning never does stop, each week, maybe even
