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.

Sales rehab: how to make targets and rest easy

[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.

Internet could be magic bullet for life insurance

[Jan Kotze] It is indisputably the era of the consumer. Yet in two centuries there have only been two major innovations in the way life insurance products are sold to consumers. The first was when brokers were introduced some 160 years ago and the second when call centres came along in the 1970s.

Now is the time to invest

[Cobus van Graan] Just as a predator patiently observes its prey, assesses the immediate surroundings and waits for the perfect moment to pounce, so the wise investor watches the market, reads the signs to decide the right time to invest and only then, makes the investment decision.

The most vexing problem confronting sales

[Peter Gilbert] In an increasingly commoditised and transparent global environment, it is becoming harder and harder for companies to maintain their profit margins selling traditional products and services. Well-established businesses are finding that product/service-based differentiation is more costly and difficult to maintain than ever before, and the resulting product differences are increasingly less meaningful.

Time is money

[John Boe] The person who coined the phrase "time is money," must have been a sales rep paid on commission. In the selling profession, the old cliché rings true, if you are not talking to a prospect or customer, you're unemployed!

Differentiation in a commoditised environment

[Peter Gilbert] It is now a business truism that products and services are becoming commoditised more rapidly than ever before, and margins of most industrial businesses are under increasing pressure. Winning companies are, however, discovering that if you cannot differentiate yourself by what you sell, and you cannot differentiate yourself by how you sell, you will, by default, have to differentiate yourself by how much you sell it for.

Derick Poremba-Brumer commented on Pitching for new business: Aristotle's Rhetoric
You guessed it. That word is made up of two ancient Greek words: LOGOS - meaning 'wisdom' and TERAPIA - meaning 'healing'.

Logotherapy holds that anything is possible - if people can give meaning to their experience.
