Well, this book is refreshing.

Challenge the trends in sales. 

My friend, Mike Weinberg, says that all this talk about how “sales has changed” and “selling is harder than ever before” is a bunch of hooey. And I’m inclined to agree.

Surprise!  It’s ALWAYS been about fundamental principles applied precisely and consistently.

If you suspect that what you’re hearing from “experts” doesn’t add up, you’ll love Mike’s new hard-hitting book. Then – you’ll be raring to get back to your craft – not trying the new fad.

Check out the #SalesTruth with reviews and summaries here.

Enjoy the straight-shooting “expert-debunking” truths that he sees his top clients execute daily and win solid new business year-over-year.

Love ’em UP!

Podcast Episode 044: The Sales Reps Road to #1 ft. Scott Ingram

Today as a guest we have the amazing podcaster Scott Ingram on today!! What is the road to being #1? 6 things to get people growing?

Check out this episode of the SellOout Show!

Scott Ingram: During the day I’m an account director for the professional services firm Relationship One, that works with Oracle Marketing Cloud clients. I manage and grow our relationships with our 15 largest (primarily Fortune 500) clients. I LOVE this role and have landed here as the result of having sold marketing technology (Bazaarvoice, Eloqua, Certain) for the last 9 years or so. As a lifelong learner, I’ve always been frustrated that there was no sales content coming directly from top performers. So a little over a year ago I launched the Sales Success Stories Podcast where I ONLY interview top individual contributors who are either #1 or at least in the top 1% if they work for larger organizations like LinkedIn, Paychex, Microsoft, ADP, etc.

You May Be An Order Taker If…

If you’re having trouble hitting your numbers, you may be an order-taker!

What do I mean by Order-Taker?

An order-taker is a salesperson who is  so knee-deep in the accounts they are working  and the inbound requests they are responding to that they stop prospecting.

Don’t get me wrong. This can be a great cushy life – but, if you’re not consistently taking some actions to fill your pipeline with new, fresh opportunities (hunting), then I promise that your savvy sales chops are getting rusty – and you are running the risk of a pipeline that dries up!

Watch the Order-Episode of The SellOut Show! 

It gets worse! Order takers often become so reactive to the urgency that is right in front of them that they don’t even grow and service their existing accounts to their maximum value.

It’s a trap!
