As a business owner and salesperson, 2020 has thrown a fair amount of challenges your way. Maybe the second and third quarter didn’t go so well for you in business, now it’s time for you to put yourself in a different mindset as you finish out the year. In episode 518 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are diving into how you can make a 90 day sales plan that will bring you momentum as you go into 2021. 

Some key points we discuss include:

• When you make your plan, get your goals in alignment with senior members of your team, and have the same goal. 
• Aim for 3 virtual sales calls a day. That’s 60 sales calls a month, and if you do it right, that’s 180 calls before this year ends.
• Start on your 90 day sales plan now. Getting ahead rather than cramming your sales in the last quarter of the year will pay off.

Now is the time to be developing and taking action on your 90 day sales plan. We’re challenging you to take action now, start setting your goals, and don’t stop until you accomplish them. To hear more about how you can set up a 90 day sales plan for the final quarter of this year and ensure that you enter into 2021 with full steam ahead, don’t forget to tune in to episode 518 of the Sell or Die Podcast.

In episode 517 of the Sell or Die Podcast,  we have a special guest Mary Grothe. Mary is the CEO of her firm, Sales BQ, and has a driving goal to help CEOs avoid the cost of bad sales hires. Mary is sharing her top tips on how you can be the best salesperson out there and how she got to where she is today. 

Some key points we discuss include:

• The beginning of Mary’s story and how she got involved in sales.
• Instead of pulling her foot off the gas as she began to reach success, Mary decided to work harder. 
• Mary breaks down what BQ means and why she founded a company based on this principle.

You have to have intelligence, emotion, and behave in the right way to make it in sales. You can’t just go out and take a job in sales just to make money, those people fail every single time. Plus, if you don't love what you do, you rise to mediocre every time. To learn more from Mary on how to be the best in sales, don’t forget to tune in to episode 517 of the Sell or Die Podcast to dive even deeper into all the points outlined above.

Some key points we discuss include:

It’s important to think about all the key elements leading up to that one major strategy that’ll close the sale. In episode 514 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about the number one thing that’ll create more potential sales, we’re also breaking down the important steps you must take to reach this higher potential in sales.

Some key points we discuss include:

• It’s the elements that lead up to that one strategy that closes the sale, rather than simply saying it all comes down to just one thing.
• The ultimate thing to increase potential sales is trust. Trust is the element that leads up to relationships, and without trust, there’s no relationship.
• Confidence in yourself and your services help build that foundation of trust.

I want you to go out and earn a sale, not make a sale. When you earn a sale, it's because you have delivered on the value, believability, likability, and trust. And for even more details on how to increase potential sales by our number one tip, don’t forget to tune in to episode 514 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.

Distractions and concentration are the two things that make up the ability of any salesperson to complete the task at hand. In episode 513 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about the role of distractions and concentration in sales, and how to improve your focus by eliminating those distractions.

Some key points we discuss include:

• Not being focused on the mission and deadline is the major reason people don’t complete projects on time.
• You as a salesperson need to put yourself in a position where you pre-communicate where you're going to be and what you’re doing.
• When you complete tasks without distraction, you can actually accomplish something. If you need a timer to set discipline into your mind, whatever you need to close off distractions, do it.

Focus on yourself, make sure your distractions are near zero when you’re trying to get something done. And for even more details on how to improve focus by eliminating distractions, don’t forget to tune in to episode 513 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.

Sometimes for business growth, you have to take a step back. In episode 512 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about the importance of perspective and stepping back once in a while to analyze and reflect on your progress. In order to continue growing and avoid burn-out, stepping back is essential.

Some key points we discuss include:

• How we’ve taken a month to change up our scenery, go to the beach, and use this time to take a hard look at the course our business is going in.
• Take a long look at what it is you intend to do for the next 12 months, and make sure you truly believe in the process and the product.
• We’re going through a metamorphosis of sales. The sales world will never go back to the way it was.

Remember when it comes to business growth and moving forward, sometimes we just need a step back. And for even more details on how we’ve implemented taking a step back in our own business journey, don’t forget to tune in to episode 512 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.

Relaxed productivity can be a good thing. In episode 511 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about the concept of how doing less can increase productivity in your business. When you’re not under the stress of having to do something every hour and having a non-stop busy day, this allows you to expand your mind and go into a zone you don’t normally get to go into.

Some key points we discuss include:

• Having a laid-back day with no time constraints allows you to have maximum thought expansion and encourages more productivity.
• You shouldn’t have to go away to get free time, you should be able to build that into your schedule no matter where you are. 
•  Being busy does not equal being productive. It just equals being busy.

You may feel at the end of the day you had a full day of accomplishment, but I challenge you to ask yourself what is the depth of your accomplishment, rather than the length. And for even more details on how doing less can make you more productive, don’t forget to tune in to episode 511 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.

When it comes to sales, the key is always in the follow-up. In episode 510 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we have Jeff Shore as a guest. Jeff is a writer, consultant, podcast host of The Buyer’s Mind, and just released his new book called Follow Up and Close The Sale. We will be talking about the science of the follow-up and the close when it comes to sales.

Some key points we discuss include:

• It’s important to acknowledge that buyers may have different motivations, but it always comes down to an emotion-based decision.
• Everyone’s afraid of intrusion marketing - but if you are adding value to your customer you are not intruding.
• It doesn’t matter what way you follow up if you’re not putting in the genuine effort, the follow up isn’t going to get you anywhere.

When it comes to closing the sale, follow up is key. Any ordinary follow up is not going to work, you must put effort, value, and creativity into your follow up with your customers. And for even more guidance on doing just that, don’t forget to tune in to episode 510 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.
