“One Year’s Sales Experience 10 Times Over”

I do not remember where I read that, but I surely do remember the meaning, as well as the impact that it had on me. I sometimes see an experienced salesperson land a new job with a company where a well established, proven selling system is in place, like Pro-Active, No-Pressure Selling. At the interview these “experienced” salespeople claim that they understand the “new” system and appear eager to learn and use it. Then, rather than do as promised, many of them will fall back on the way they originally learned to sell.
Learning is not an event; it is a process that never ends. Techniques and technology are always evolving. Everyone should always be open to newer and better ways to sell, or do anything for that matter.

  1. Reality Check Says:

    Somewhere along the line most salespeople pick up some slime. I suspect that the higher the commission they more slippery they are. It would be nice to be able to shop without having to deal with one of them at all; that’s one reason on-line shopping is becoming so popular.
