It’s the last day of 2009. Find out why you didn’t meet the goals you set in January.
Got goals?
Millions of words have been written about goals. I’ve personally written thousands of them. Ninety-nine percent focus on “how-to” set and achieve them in one form or another. Books, articles, videos, seminars, online courses, and of course, classic classroom learning.
Everyone sets goals. Some people set them on their own, others have them set for them (sales goals, sales plans, sales quotas). Some people make elaborate game plans for goal achievement, others write them down in their day planner, while still others just cut out a picture from a magazine depicting something they wish they had, but don’t (e.g., car, boat, house, vacation).
Me? I post my goals on my bathroom mirror. In plain sight.
Many passé seminar leaders and motivational speakers claim, “less than 4 percent of all people set goals.” Baloney. Everyone has a goal, or many goals. If you’re looking for a category that fits the 4 percent number, it’s the people that actually achieve the goals they set.
Ever set a goal you failed to achieve?
Ever stop in the middle of a goal?
Ever fall back into your old ways?
Ever miss your sales goals?
Of course you have. Everyone has.
Want to know why?

- Evolving from Salesperson to Trusted Advisor
When I say the words trusted advisor, what words come to mind? Relationship? Helpful advice? Strategic alliance? Consultant? Two questions: Do you believe you are a trusted advisor? Do your customers perceive you as a trusted advisor? Before you begin this lesson, take a moment to list the accounts where you feel you’re a trusted [...]
- What’s So Funny about Being Professional?
There’s an old sales adage that says, “If you can make em laugh, you can make em buy.” The reason its old and the reason its been around so long is that its true. Humor and laughter are two key ingredients in building and gaining a customer relationship. The challenge with humor is: 1. People [...]
- Go the Extra Mile
When I say “going the extra mile,” what do you think about? Hard work? Doing the unexpected? Other people? Someone special? You? Where does the Extra Mile come from? How are Extra Mile stories created? What do they mean to companies and people?
- Good, Better or Best?
Are you the best at what you do? Everyone wants success, but very few achieve the success they dream about. I’m on my journey just like you. In the process of studying, I came to a realization about personal achievement: “going for the gold” is wrong. Being the best you can be in order to [...]

- To Sell or Not To Sell, That Is the Question
Two of the most important aspects of selling are asking questions and listening. The proper questions will make the prospect tell you everything you need to sell him or her. Effective listening skills will give you the power and self-discipline to uncover facts/needs and then formulate a response that moves the buyer to a decision. [...]
- How to Sell or Why They Buy
People don’t like to be sold, but they love to buy is my #1 (trademarked) rule of selling. It is an undeniable rule that on the surface seems relatively simplistic, but when you dig deeper, you’ll find the complexity lies in uncovering the MOTIVE of why people buy. Uncovering buying motives goes against the strategy [...]
