The TACTIC:  Sales is not intellectual.
The STORY:
Frank was one of those notorious customers about whom every sales group tells stories.  Any sale made to Frank was small, the commission even less than small, and the pain and suffering Frank put the salesperson through were legendary.
“I remember the time,” said Andy, “that Frank and I went at it for close to an hour.  He thought he could nail me with his knowledge of how our product was built and why it was overpriced.  Took him to the mat.  He finally admitted I knew my stuff.  Didn’t get any order, but I got his respect.
“So that’s why,” asked Melinda, “he’s now my client?  No one else in the office wants to deal with him?”
“For sure,” responded Andy, “best of luck.  If you want to get anywhere with him, best you know all the obscure little details.”
Three days later, Melinda met Frank for the first time at his office.
“I understand you have a new valve that I might be able to use, that titanium one.  It’s overpriced for what it does.”
“That’s interesting you say that.  Could you tell me how you decided that?”  For the next 10 minutes, Melinda just sat and listened, occasionally nodding her head.
“And to top it off,” he went on, “your technical support isn’t the best.”
“Our technical support isn’t the best… that means…” she asked.
Frank again went n for five minutes to end with, “You know, you’re the first salesperson from that company that has ever listened to me.”
“By listening to you, does that mean I’m doing my job or am I in trouble with you?”
“God almighty, no.  You’re not in trouble.  In fact, I’ve been thinking of making some drastic changes in the manufacturing department.  I think your company has some of the stuff I need to do it.”
“When you say, ‘drastic changes,’ exactly what do you mean?”
Frank not only did 90 percent of the talking for the next half hour, he even gave Melinda a copy of the construction blueprints and made her a promise she would work up a quote.
The RESULT:
Melinda listened, questioned, and will probably make more than a dollar or two.
DISCUSSION:
If you know by heart the 101 all-time closing lines, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
If you know everything there possibly is to know about how your product can be used, how it is made, and how it stacks up against the competition, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
If you have the most sophisticated and well-thought-out prospect tracking system, and use it, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
If you arrive at your sales job at seven in the morning, eat lunch at your desk, and get home by nine at night, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
If you keep meticulous records that made getting reimbursements a snap, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
If you habitually buy the latest sales training video and audio tapes, and listen to them, are you a successful salesperson?  Maybe.
How do you define a successful salesperson?  Simple.  How often do you go to the bank to deposit your earnings?  A lot?  Do your deposits get larger and larger?  That’s the only measure of a successful salesperson.
APPROACH:
A salesperson’s job is to get his prospects and clients to tell him a story.  The story line is how much they need what the salesperson has to sell.  The conclusion of the story is the sale.  Notice that the salesperson is never the one telling the story.
How do you get them to tell you a story and include you in the final chapter?  By asking them questions and then waiting for answers.  Let them fill in the details.  Remember, it’s their story, and if you start telling it for them, they’ll be annoyed.  Annoy the enough and you’re out the door.
Everyone is convinced their story is the most important.  Give them a chance to tell it.  Remember, the prospect and client don’t care at all about your story so don’t bore them with it.  Telling your story doesn’t make you money no matter how interesting it is to you.
When their story starts to get dull, ask them a question.  “That’s really interesting you selected to include that… tell me why.”  Wait they will.
THOUGHT:
Don’t sell.  Do this instead; listen, question, listen some more, question some more, go to the bank.  That’s being successful.

Lead, follow or get out of the way

Lead, follow or get out of the way

0

By Armando P. Trabanco, Banking Executive.
As leaders we are trained and prepared to take the helm at a given moment.  We believe we have all the answers and know the best course of action at any given time.  The truth be told, no one can do it all and address every problem, and those who try end up burning out at a very early age and or suffering a massive heart attack.

Reality is that true leaders know their strengths and weaknesses, and position themselves to where their strengths can compliment and benefit the team and the organization as a whole. They have a keen eye for talent and hire to insure that all bases are covered.  They understand from their journey, that the best way to motivate top talent is to give them the tools necessary and allow them to execute (they get out of the way.) Checks and balances are normal and not an unnecessary burden taking away from productivity.  Nothing demotivates a team more than a leader who stops leading, and starts micro-managing.  Successful teams understand the goals and mission being undertaken and more importantly how their role adds to the bottom line.  If they lack this basic understanding, then production, morale and success fail to materialize.
If your team is not performing at expected levels, you should ask yourself a few questions; 1) Have I provided the team with the tools and support necessary to succeed?  (Are you leading?) 2) Do they understand how their role impacts the organization, the importance of their contributions and are they allowed to execute?(Are they able to execute? Follow.) (3)  Am I enhancing or hindering progress?  (Get out of their way!!!)

Christian Chamber of Greater Miami 2015-2019

Christian Chamber of Greater Miami 2015-2019

https://miamibusiness.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/4-Highlights-115-0408-C2c.mp4

Christian Chamber of Greater Miami 2015-2019
The Christian Chamber of Greater Miami (CCOGM) journeyed on a path of faith and community service that began in 2015. As the sun rose on April 15th of that year, over 130 business professionals representing a myriad of faiths and cultures convened at the Devon Seafood restaurant in Kendall. This was not just another networking event; it marked the genesis of a vision by Kent Crook, a veteran business leader with a heart committed to Miami.
Kent Crook’s deep-seated commitment to the community is evident in his multifaceted engagements. Serving South Florida for over three decades, he has played pivotal roles in various organizations, focusing on business, health, education, and conservation. His journey has always been about more than business; it’s about lighting up the community both literally, with his solar energy contributions, and metaphorically, with his leadership.
Under the auspices of CCOGM, the aim was clear: guide, encourage, and provide opportunities for the faithful to impact the community positively.
In the coming months within the first year, the Chamber’s wings spread wider. Spearheaded by Wilson Alvarez, who was handpicked by Kent, the organization saw rapid growth. Within a mere six months, membership skyrocketed to 100, with events occurring twice monthly. As time progressed, branches sprouted in Broward, Homestead, and Kendall.
The Chamber’s partnership with local organizations such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Christ Fellowship’s Backpack Program, and Read2Succeed resonates with its mission. While the Fellowship of Christian Athletes worked tirelessly to influence individuals via coaches and athletes, the Backpack Program took on the monumental task of ensuring no child went to bed hungry. On the other hand, Read2Succeed tackled the pressing issue of illiteracy among children, driving them toward academic excellence.
Thomas Edison once said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” This resonates with the Chamber’s journey, which, despite its successes, faced challenges with the advent of the Covid crisis. Many organizations, including CCOGM, faced unprecedented trials. But the legacy Kent Crook established, and the Chamber’s footprint in the community, is a testament that with faith, persistence, and unity, there will always be a dawn after the darkest night.
The takeaway? The journey of CCOGM serves as a beacon for organizations worldwide. It exemplifies how faith, combined with action and collaboration, can create waves of positive change, even in challenging times.
As we await the Christian Chamber’s new chapter, let us remember the legacy, the impact, and the vision set forth. For anyone inspired by this tale, now is the time to act, to join hands and be the change-makers our communities so desperately need. Because the story of CCOGM is far from over; it’s merely waiting for its next chapter to be written by people like you.
