Coaching Mistake #3 Laundry List Coaching
"Not just good advice for sales training but, I think, for just about everything in life. Attempting to focus on everything at once is pointless...and counterproductive. Focus on a key goal, achieve it, then move on. Anything else will destroy morale and create little or no improvement. "Bootstrapping: Always A Life Saver for Business
"Amen! Jeff Cornwall, the source of the quote in the article, is a great champion of bootstrapping. Stories of entrepreneurs who grew their enterprises on revenue alone abound including Greg Gianforte of RightNow Technologies who started cold calling IT professionals about his new software before it had even been created. Don't worry about meeting a profit margin in a business plan just focus on enough cash flow to keep the lights on and you can build from there."A Random Walk Up Sales Street
"Though I come more from a general entrepreneurial than broader sales perspective, I'd have to say that there is a fundamental problem with a standard approach to anything. Some sales people make fun of social media, but I've gotten more out of them than any cold calls or face-to-face meetings I've ever had with customers. You know. Things like sales and clients. Not to mention almost ALL of my serious leads. It may be my products, but I find cold calling and face-to-face pretty worthless. It takes too long to meet someone interested in what I have to offer. Through social media/blogging prospects interested in your product find you. It's simple and logical. Why haven't there been overall increases in sales despite new marketing techniques? Because the old way of selling is dying while the new methods gain momentum and so far there is no net increase. But get ready. A new world is coming! "Promoting Your Brand Through Clever Techniques

Creating a message that is humorous or outrageous may well make the message viral, but it's key to make sure the product is linked in your marketing scheme least your product by merely an after thought."Top Seven Requirements to Achieve Effective Communication in Management
"Interesting how this defining of a manager compares and contrasts with Seth Godin's concept of the leader of a "tribe" in his book by the same title. In the book, Godin suggests that managers strive for establishment of a system that maintains the status quo while leaders inspire change and individual (sometimes uncontrolled) actions by the members of the tribe. It's pretty clear when you read the book where is sympathies lie."Subscribe
