When it comes to being successful in sales it takes a little knowledge from many disciplines. It is a little science. It is also a bit of art. Then let’s not forget the disciplines of psychology and philosophy.
And for many people they may say there is a little magic too. In fact, one could say that to be successful in sales is little alchemy.
What can you do to improve your ability to be more successful in sales. In this episode of A New Direction Senior Vice President of Sales for Madison Global, Judd Weisgal rejoins us to talk about how he trains his salespeople to sell to fortune 500 companies.
Judd Weisgal has 25 years in sales, is the Senior Vice President of Sales for Madison Global, leads a sale team of nearly 100 people and sells himself.
In this episode we walk through the sales cycle from prospecting to referrals, whether you are in B2C or B2B sales.
Judd further discusses how there is a movie version of sales and then there is what it takes to be successful in sales.
Things we learn in this episode:
It’s not about your personality.
And so much more! Are you ready to become more successful in your career? Or perhaps you lead a team and maybe it’s time to change tactics. Or maybe your methods need to be updated.
Join us for a powerful show that will boost your sales and make you more successful.

The post Sales Success: The Alchemy of Being Successful appeared first on Jay Izso.
If you are interested in sales or consider yourself a veteran of the profession, the question of being successful is ever illusive. The fact is you are only as good as your last sale, and no matter how many sales you close yesterday has no guarantees if you will sell anything today or tomorrow.
Sales is not an easy profession. In fact, no other professional will hear the word “no” than the sales professional. So what does it take to be a successful in this profession? What does your mindset need to be in order to meet the demands of the sales profession? How do you get or stay motivated? What should you sell? How does your physical self play a role in your success or failure? What do the best sales professionals know mentally, physically, and emotionally that most people do not?
Well these questions and more are the subject of this episode of A New Direction as Success Sales Expert and Consultant Bryan Charleau joins me to talk about his book “Pitching Sales! A Complete Guide to Becoming A Sales Professional: Outwork, Outperfrom, and Outsell. Join us!
Bryan Charleau‘s book, “Pitching Sales!: A Complete Guide to Becoming a Sales Professional” is not your typical sales book about “hacks”. It is part biography, but is also a book on the mindset and behaviors that are going to be required of you personally to be successful in the professional.
The book starts with a clear statement of saying that all kinds of people can be successful in sales, but it really starts with your own authenticity. You simply have to be you. Anything other than bringing your true self to the sales conversation will be met with failure.
The topics are vast such as “What keeps you from being successful”, “How can you can excel”, ‘Re-motivating yourself” and many more. Dig in and get your copy by clicking right here!

The post From Sales Zero to Sales Hero appeared first on Jay Izso.
When it comes to selling anything here is what we know. First it can be a tremendously rewarding and lucrative career. We also know that finding people who are good at selling is difficult, and finding great sales people is even harder. Just look at these statistics on selling. In one study they found that 55% of people earning a living in sales should be doing something else and 20-25% have what it takes to sell, but they should be selling something else.
So what’s missing? Why do have so many people have a difficult time in sales and selling? The answer may be they are completely out of alignment with themselves, the company they are selling for, the product that they are selling, and the audience they are selling to. In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author and Sales Team Expert Stacey Hall joins us show us how to be successful in sales by aligning with your core values, aligning with what you sell, and how to use social media to increase sales. This non-traditional view of selling from your comfort zone creates depth in relationships with your clients and leads to greater sales, higher satisfaction and greater success!
Stacey Hall‘s best selling book is entitled Selling from Your Comfort Zone: The Power of Alignment Marketing the book is going to be a challenging read for those of you who believe in the old fashioned way of doing sales. If you believe that in today’s world that you can avoid the idea of “Know, Like, and Trust” when it comes to selling you will have missed the boat.
The fact is that today’s buyers, whether it is B2B or B2C are looking of those people who they can get to know, are likeable, and can build trusting loyal relationships. The days of scripts, spammy, clever lines and foot in the door are over. The fact is we sell to other humans. Decisions are made by other humans. That means whether you like it or not the decisions that are made are in fact made from a place of emotions, not a place of logic. Hence it would serve us well when it comes to selling to make sure we understand who they are, where they are coming from and have build a solid foundation of a relationship. Because it will be that emotional connection that will avoid objections and naturally lead to the sale…which is truly Selling from Your Comfort Zone.

The fact is we are all sales people at some point if not most point in our lives. But then there are those people who have made sales their career. It is a profession. But let’s be honest it’s not an easy profession. The fact is for most people who are not in sales when they hear the word, there can be this yucky feeling in the pit of their stomach and an urge to runaway. Why? Well because the truth is there are really bad sales people who have ruined it for those who are trying to do the right thing by their clients. Alex Dripchak is one of the great ethical sales professionals that joins us on this episode of A New Direction.
Ales Drapchak‘s book “100 Skills of the Successful Sales Professional” is quite possibly the best book on sales I have ever read. He has taken his own experience from Mercer and Oracle and coupled that with the wisdom of ore than 25 books on sales. This book will literally help you become a better sales person, a more likeable sales person, and a sales professional that can be profitable without taking advantage of the client. “!00 Skills of the Successful Sales Professional” is not only a great read, but I found it fun and a wealth of useful information for any business.

We all sell, but we all do not have sales success. We all do business, but we all do not have business success. Most of us bring home money and whether you do or not we all are not a financial success. Entrepreneur extraordinaire Barry Habib has found success in all three of those areas and he built it from nothing. He found opportunities, which led to another opportunity, which he leveraged into another opportunity, which made him successful and a highly sought after entrepreneur. In this episode of A New Direction Barry Habib returns to dig into some of the strategies and philosophies of sales, business and money.
Barry Habib‘s book is entitled “Money in the Streets” it is a story of his life growing in a home of hard working immigrants struggling to make it. It is also the story of how he discovered that opportunity is just out there if you have some creativity, take risks, and work hard. “Money in the Streets” is a powerful testimony that you don’t have to have the best start to finish with great success. Take a listen Barry Habib is going to help you better in your business, your sales, your life, and your financial future.

When you hear the word ethics and sales they really don’t sound like they go together. It is kind of an oil and water thing for most people. As a matter of fact when it comes to business our colleges and universities don’t even teach ethics of sales. It is a topic that is rarely if ever discussed and when it is, it’s because someone got into trouble over an ethics violation.
When you talk to sales people about ethics you will find what is ethical to one is not ethical to another. When you go to ethics training sessions rarely will they even talk about right or wrong, but that you have to make up your own mind. Finally we have someone who is willing to take a stand on what ethics are and are not. Someone who draws the line between how a customer is to to be treated, marketed to, and sold to. His name is Joel Malkoff, and he joins us on A New Direction and after 45 years of selling ethically and over 500 million dollars in generated sales he tells what ethical selling is and is not and how it can lead to greater profit.
Joel Malkoff‘s book is entitled, “Selling Ethically: A Business Parable Connecting Integrity with Profits“. The book is in fact a parable about a man named David King who goes before a heavenly court to determine if he has been ethical. Example after example is presented with interesting twists. The reader is left with great nuggets of wisdom and a direct understanding of what is right and not right when it comes to sales. One major take away that you will get from Joel is that we need to rewrite “let the buyer beware”, but “let the seller beware he must be honest and transparent”. It is a mind shift away from the responsibility of the buyer to the responsibility of the seller and the sales person to ensure that they are being upfront and fully disclosing.

Technology, social media, phone apps, Alexa, Siri, Go Google, Artificial Intelligence, there is so much coming at us. When it comes to our business…what do we do? Which one or ones do we choose? If any? What is going to give our business the competitive edge? How much is going to cost? What can I afford? What is really going to make a difference? The questions are endless. And it may leave you feeling overwhelmed, helpless, hopeless and over matched. What is the answer as we enter into the next decade? We are so focused on technology in today’s world we have perhaps overlooked Occam’s Razor. That is the most simplest answer sits right before us. Not that it is easy, but it is staring us right in the face. You feel it, I feel it, your customer wants it. What is it? A real relationship.
In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author John R. DiJulius opens our eyes to the research and examples of the one thing that will compete and overcome any technology. The quality and depth of our relationships with our past, current, and future customers. The fact is there is no app to develop a relationship. Alexa doesn’t really care about your family, occupation, your recreational joys, or your hopes and dreams. Only people can do that. As John DiJulius explains in his outstanding book “The Relationship Economy: Building Stronger Customer Connections in the Digital Age” people want to be in relationships, but not temporary ones, not ones with the idea of gathering business, but ones that are real, genuine, authentic and meaningful.
As technology has increased and surrounds us the very thing that will separate your business from every other will be how well you can truly make your customer “feel” special. And “The Relationship Economy” and John DiJulius takes a microscopic and example filled approach to helping you make your business a difference maker with people. Here is a really simple question: Are you a business that people love? Sounds awkward when you ask it, but think about the businesses you truly love. They are the ones you are loyal to, the ones that you keep going back to, the ones that make you feel special, important, provide value, and the one try to convince your friends to use. If your were the kind of business that people loved…what would that do for your bottom line? That is the Relationship Economy and how it will change your business.

So often as sales or business professionals we want some slick silver bullet strategy that will increase our business. Somehow our mind has convinced us that there must be some magical secret that somehow we missed to getting more sales. However, the reality is there are no silver bullets and there is really no such thing as “magic”. The fact is being a better at sales, business, or life have one thing in common…YOU! The very person who is going to increase their sales, be a better CEO, or a better person is going to be the person who is reading this right now. However, those improvements only happen when the person makes positive changes in their life. It is then and only then will they see positive changes everywhere else. And that is the heart of Robert Paolini and his book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales.
In this edition of A New Direction (AND) Robert Paolini walks us through some of the steps of making the changes in your life to affect the changes in your business. These change require discipline to start new positive habits that create positive change. The book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales is a culmination of life changing techniques that affect the life of your business. He starts by outlining the acronym T.A.L.K. Truth, Attention, Listening, and Kindness and explains that these four pillars, if you will, are essential for any sales or business person to have greater success, because in every aspect these principles when practiced sincerely create powerful relationships that lead to better business. We then leads us through Ha. He. Wi. We. – HAppiness, HEalth, WIsdom, and WEalth, and how these flow together to give us a fun reminder of how to live. Robert or Bobby as he likes to be called then takes us through “Knowing Your Why” and going deeper on your Goals, and then finally talks us through Hal Elrod “s– “The Miracle Morning” and the power of changing your morning and your day with S.A.V.E.R.S….but your going to have to listen to show to hear what that acronym means. Enjoy!

The post Principles for a Better Life and Business – Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales – Robert Paolini appeared first on Jay Izso.
There are many lessons we can learn from our journeys in business and life. We all have them. But how many of us have actually took a journal and wrote every day about our journey. Not many of us for sure. Rob Jolles one of the world’s leading sales trainers and inspirational speakers has been journaling his travels as a speaker and world traveler. He has logged over 2.5 million miles around the globe. At one point he was 280 days on the road speaking to group after group grooming sales departments, CEO’s and staff. And in his book he gives us a glimpse into the 19 years he spent jumping from plane to plane, city to city and the lessons he learned that can be applied to both life and business. He truly understands The Way of the Road Warrior.
The Way of the Road Warrior is not your typical business travel book. It is much deeper than that. In this episode of A New Direction Rob Jolles shares his life, his experiences, and the highs and the lows that come with both a heavy travel schedule and the toll it takes on both him and the people he loves. This book is both entertaining, and at the same time incredibly honest. He pulls no punches and gives you the great successes and great failures, and the life that nearly cost him everything. The lessons shared in The Way of the Road Warrior apply to all of us. You do not have to be a traveling speaker or salesman to glean a powerful message that should awaken all of us as we try to achieve success.
