Building a great sales force

[Peter Gilbert] Many businesses are primarily sales organisations - nothing more and nothing less. They generally do not bring huge intellectual capital to the equation, they do not make anything, they have no factories to distract them, they generally have no complex supply chain to manage, they buy something or acquire the mandate to sell something, and then they sell it.

[Geoff Garrett] It's no secret that, when times are lean, that sales managers begin to bald prematurely, wake up in the dark of night in a cold sweat, and quaff one consecutive coffee after another while chain-smoking like a legionnaire. The reason for their accelerated ageing is that they don't know what to do to remedy the situation. But that needn't be the case.

What are you selling?

[John Boe] When I ask sales reps to boil down the entire "selling process" into a one word answer, I get a wide variety of interesting responses such as service, education, or consulting. Seldom do I get the answer that I'm expecting to hear... relationship. Regardless of your industry, at the end of the day you're in the "people business".

Are you a team player?

[John Boe] Have you noticed that when a sports team wins a championship game, both the players and the coaches talk in terms of a "team victory" and appear to truly enjoy sharing the accomplishment?
