Creating a Nonstop Sales Boom:

Creating a Nonstop Sales Boom:
Putting an End to Boom and Bust Sales Cycles
How many times have you come off a great month or quarter, only to find that the pipeline is woefully empty and now everyone is struggling to keep up? Worst of all, that kind of development is considered by many to be the norm: simply accepting poor performance and the stresses of up and down results as the cost of doing business.

Why does this happen? Because of complacency, inconsistency and a far too narrow view of the role of sales. Sellers need look at their job as more than just executing the linear process of converting opportunities to sales. To create consistent results today, you must embrace a 360-degree customer-engagement model.

Right on the Money:

Right on the Money:
Your Best Opportunity for Success is Right in Front of You
Your current accounts are your most lucrative source of additional revenue. Working more with them is the easiest way to accelerate past your sales goals. They are your biggest asset and from where you are standing right now, you are right on this money.

Sadly, these current accounts are most often a neglected profit center. All too often, companies practice Account Complacency rather than Account Management. Turning their attention, their marketing and their resources to the exciting next new deal.

In Pursuit of More:

In Pursuit of More:
Selling More in Today's New Economy
The rules have changed in today's buying culture. The customers are different. How they buy is different. And even economy in which you sell to them is different.

Buyers have embraced these changes quickly and dramatically. They want more.

But far too many sales teams remain stuck in the past. They still use outdated tactics, such as cold calling (which now has a less than 1% success rate), canned pitches that are irrelevant to the customer, and manipulative closing tricks that do nothing but stagnate sales results.

Have your selling models evolved to profit from this change? If they haven't, it's a mistake that's costing you money and customers every day.

The Magnetism of Value:

The Magnetism of Value:
Standout by Selling Value - Not Negotiating Price
In today's highly competitive marketplace, it's no longer negotiable whether you close a sale on your terms and with balanced profits. It's a requirement. Value—not price—must lead that conversation you're having with your customer.

But what if your customers don't appreciate value? What if they are only focused on buying at the lowest price? Those are beliefs: not facts.

In this keynote, Colleen unlocks the myth that clients are not interested in value by reminding sellers that the only value that matters in the value that matters to the client. It's up to sellers to discover, communicate and position what the customers values uniquely for maximum profit.

The New Performance Culture:

The New Performance Culture:
The End of Accepting Failure as the Norm
The new performance culture leaves no one behind. Teams must comprise members who are top performers—no one is coasting or being artificially supported. I call this 100% by 100%.

In this new culture, measures are constant, feedback is immediate, and customers are involved in the process.

The leader's role is to create, nurture, and leverage the success of these teams. The bar is constantly raised. The best managers succeed only when their top people are outperforming what they once achieved as team members themselves.

The new performance culture is about dominance, not keeping up.
