Do you know star quality when you see it?

So, you want to hire sales stars. Many candidates may shine, but are they made of the stuff to enrich the business lives of customers and your team? The cover story of this month’s issue of SOLD Sales Executive comes from Neil Shorney. He explains four challenges you face when trying to identify and recruit sales stars. He suggests the solution may be to look internally for those on your sales staff who are ready to shine. You already know them and the cost of a promotion is much less than recruiting externally.

Respect is more important than an order

One of the qualities of a sales star is the ability to earn customer respect. A sales star has the confidence to tell a customer he or she could do better…and then has the skills to help customers achieve. The best customers want salespeople who aren’t afraid to tell the truth, and they are the customers you want. When you find a sales star with this ability then you want him or her too.

What's Inside Issue #4:

Cleaning the shark’s teeth

Sounds like a dangerous job? The little remora fish is the master of that job…and the shark allows the remora in its mouth because it’s more beneficial to work together than work apart. That’s called a symbiotic relationship and it’s the best kind of relationship with your customers. Focusing on your customers is the theme of this month’s issue… and your success (as well as your customers’) is dependent on you putting their interests first and helping them achieve the results they want.
Forget the lingo! Speak the customer’s language

A major takeaway from this month’s issue is how much more important it is to listen to your customers instead of them listening to you. Not only is it the best way to learn what they really need from you, but also you’ll hear the words they use to express that need…and those are the words you must use when communicating with them. Forget the sales jargon and all the “techno-speak” about your products and services. Ask questions… listen… speak your customer’s language… and you’ll be able to deliver the goods and a great looking sales report to the boss.

What's inside April 2013:

Don’t you hate it when a speaker gets up and waxes on poetically about themselves for the first 5 minutes of a presentation? It’s all Me, Me, Me. You’re yawn, yawn, yawning.

Why is that? What makes you fall into a stupor of boredom when a speaker focuses on himself first?

YOU – you are missing.

This is why YOU is the most important word in any presentation.

Minimize I & Maximize You

As a speaker, you are the conduit of information that will inform, persuade, inspire or entertain your audience. Yep, you are just a conduit in a presentation. When the focus is on the I – this how I work with my clients or I do this or I do that – you’ve just made yourself the most important person in the room. Maximize you – minimize I.

This goes for bloggers too – do you find your self clicking away from an article because there are more “I”s in the first paragraph? I do. I don’t care about the I – I care about seeing myself in your content.
