You Want the Sale? You Gotta Ask For It!
Get to the "selling endzone" more often by sharpening your skills.

by Gerry Layo

The economy has created new challenges for many salespeople today. One of the challenges that is most vexing for salespeople is that customers are more hesitant to make a decision or to make a change. Sales cycles are taking longer and customers are more content to “hold-off” or “stay the course” due to this “wait and see” attitude. Now, add in the fact that sales are down for many companies and thus, there is pressing need to get something—anything—closed, you have a problem that is twice as challenging.  Companies needs to re-focus on their ENTIRE sales approach. In doing so, you cannot forget to focus on ASKING FOR THE BUSINESS!

What's Gerry Reading Now?

A new client of mine for the upcoming year had asked if I was familiar with a book entitled The Game of Work-How to Enjoy Work as Much as Play by Charles Coonradt. I immediately purchased and devoured this book which was originally published in 1984 and has been continually updated with current examples in numerous reprints over the past 25 years. This book is a great read that discusses the simple fact that people would rather play than work--and it explains why. In play (such as sports) there tends to be very defined rules (that do not change according to the score or time of year) as well as very defined boundaries. Everyone knows their role and gets immediate feedback from their efforts. There is conststent coaching, better scorekeeping, and elements of personal choice. If these elements of sports can be applied to the workplace (and they can) the results can be outstanding(and he gives many examples where they are.) An easy read which is compelling and simple to digest--and hopefully easy to implement--The Game of Work is a must read for all managers and leaders who want to increase team passion, buy-in, and results.
