Sales Game Changers | Tip-Filled Conversations with Sales Leaders About Their Successful Careers
Read the complete transcription on the Sales Game Changers Podcast website. Colleen's TIP: "Carve out some time between now and December 31 to really take a good, hard look at what happened this year, analyze the numbers and plan to make some changes. One of the first things I would do is look at what's working even if I don't necessarily like it and then commit to doing more of that in January, including maybe getting a mentor or finding someone in the organization who's been more successful than you and reaching out to figure out what they're doing that was such a success this year. I think that will help you to create some activity, remember that action creates motivation, not the other way around. If you can find someone who has great ideas on what's creating success in your marketplace today right now and you implement them, you're going to be more motivated which is going to help your mindset."

A successful sales leader for over 20 years, Colleen Francis understands the particular challenges of selling in today's crowded, confusing market, and that business leaders can no longer rely on approaches to sales based on techniques from decades ago—or even last year. Her practical strategies deliver immediate and lasting results.
She’s serious with humor, laughs when making a thoughtful point and you know as you listen that she speaks with authority and truth. Colleen Francis of Engaged Selling talks with host Stacy Gentile about the issues around poor, poor sales coaching. They discuss: ----more---- Is sales even the right word anymore? The worst advice given to salespeople: “You’re not hitting your numbers, you have to close more deals.” How to avoid sales boom and bust cycles Why companies are not intentional enough about revenue The number one coaching failure: It worked that way before, it should work now Why companies have to be more intentional about sales metrics Are we in a buying environment and not a selling environment?

About Non-Stop Sales Boom Has the last week of each quarter in your business become a mad scramble to meet quota? Do your year-end reports show sporadic and unexplainable highs some weeks that will be near impossible to meet next year, as well as mysterious lows that ruined your goals for a 10 percent increase? For many sales organizations, anomalies such as these are strangely commonplace and unshakeable without intentional efforts to ratify them. Nonstop Sales Boom explains how to break this unhealthy cycle and achieve strong, steady results--every quarter, from every member of the team. Author and experienced sales leader for over twenty years Colleen Francis says the secret to leaving behind the roller-coaster reports and achieving sustaining, steady success is to broaden the focus from merely closing deals to actively nurturing the four critical stages of client engagement: • Attraction: Fill the funnel with lucrative prospects • Participation: Turn them into customers faster • Growth: Invest in valued clients • Leverage: Turn customers into referral generators When companies concentrate on only one or two of these areas, their results become erratic. But by becoming purposeful toward all four, simultaneously, they will systematically attract a regular flow of prospects and move them smoothly through the pipeline--taking the chaos and pressure away from the end of the quarter for good! ______________________________________ CRM Radio is hosted by Paul Peterson and Stacy Gentile and sponsored by GoldMine CRM on the Funnel Radio Channel.
