You know who I’m talking about. It’s that one guy who always seems to derail your presentation by first interrupting you. Then once he has your attention, he takes everyone down a rabbit-trail. “Hey, wait a minute… take a look at the numbers for the Southwest Region in Q2. How did that happen? Clay, that’s your region. What […]
The Disney World attendant reached out her hand toward my crying son and said, “Russell… will you come with me please?” Earlier we had asked about getting Peter Pan’s autograph and we were told he would not be signing autographs today, but he would be in the parade down Main Street USA. Peter Pan was […]
It’s the classic tale where the unlikely hero saves the day. We’ve seen it in many Hollywood summer blockbusters like Transformers, Independence Day, and Apollo 13. While most of the time these popcorn blockbusters are known for one-liners and lots of action, what you may not realize is how the unlikely hero uses classic rhetoric to save […]
Sales people are coin-operated. Maybe you’ve heard that expression before. It’s true that most sales positions are commissioned, but it’s not true that all sales professionals are driven only by money. Is there anything wrong with sales professionals being driven by money? Nope. I’ll admit, some of the most successful sales professionals I’ve met were obviously […]
You’ve heard it before… “Money is the root of all evil.” That is not true. In fact, contrary to popular belief, the Bible never says that either! What the Bible actually says is “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) (my emphasis added) Why is this subtle difference in […]
In the world of Star Wars, lightsabers are neither good nor evil. They are simply tools. But placed in the hands of a Jedi or a Sith, they can be used for either good or evil. And of course, if you place a lightsaber in the unskilled hands of someone like me, you will be taking me […]
I’m guessing you’ve seen one of the Dos Equis beer commercials with the world’s most interesting man. The cool world traveler seems to have more adventures than Indiana Jones (who is rumored to have a 5th movie in the works.) His character appeals to the masses who all want to have a life like his. Dos […]

You and I both know that customers don’t always choose the least expensive option. When you’re the consumer, I bet you don’t always pick the cheapest either. If we did, we’d all be driving $3,990 Yugos from 1985 and the company wouldn’t have gone bankrupt in 1989. As a salesperson you may have heard this phrase from […]
How you handle questions during your presentation can completely destroy the outcome or completely knock it out of the park. In our worst case scenarios, we’re concerned about not knowing the answer to a question asked by prospect. How do we handle it? What do we say? How can we salvage our credibility and save the […]
