If you’re new to sales you’ve quickly discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. You also could be struggling in your current sales position and don’t know why. Since you’re both professionals either coming to the plate for the first time or in a slump with a low batting average, why not listen to some tips from a professional sales coach? That’s what professional baseball players do. They listen to the advice of coaches and focus on fixing the most common errors. Salespeople would do well to follow such advice.

You’re working remotely during this interruption of normal business transactions. Instead of dashing to strategy sessions and prospect meetings and spending hours in transit, you are either staring at your computer screen or cleaning out closets. A better use of this bonus time would be to relook at how you are connecting with your customers. Perhaps you should consider Account-Based Marketing (ABM) to adjust to market realities. ABM turns the traditional funnel upside down and is delivering higher ROI than most other forms of marketing. Come hear why everyone is talking about Account-Based Marketing. The April 16th Asher Sales Sense Podcast, “Account-Based Marketing in Challenging Times,” with host Kyla O’Connell features Gail Walls, Senior Funnel Management and ABM Certified Strategist at Communica, a full-service advertising, marketing and PR firm in Columbus, Ohio. What’s a precise definition of Account-Based Marketing? What’s an example of how it can be used? Is this a complete shift of strategy in terms of sales and marketing campaigns? What’s the data on success rates? Is there a typical process to develop an ABM strategy? Tune in on April 16th to hear Gail Walls answer these and other questions and find out why ABM just might be your company’s certain play for these uncertain times.
Asher Sales Sense is hosted by John Asher and Kyla O’Connell of ASHER Strategies which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.  ASHER Strategies is the sponsor of ASHER Sales Sense. 
   

 
Let’s demystify Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) so we can sell more stuff. NLP has an imposing name, but it’s not really rocket science. It’s only “brain language” and knowing how to communicate with it can elevate your sales game to the elite level - especially if you combine it with practical applications. Price objections, for example.  You can use NLP to shift the customer conversation from price to value. And what salesperson doesn’t want to do that?

For this episode of Asher Sales Sense Podcast, Alan Stein Jr., the sales coach will reveal the performance secrets of world-class athletes and how they can inspire and empower you and your team to take immediate action and improve mindset, habits, and productivity.

Being Vice President of Sales is a tough job. You’ve climbed your way up in the organization not only through your innate talent as a salesperson but also through your organizational skills. Now’s the hard part: building a sales team that’s as good or better than you at bringing in new clients. You’ve hired the best people you could find, evaluating their natural aptitude, past performance, and fit into your company’s culture. Now what? Send them right out to the field? Maybe that’s rushing it a bit. More likely than not, it’s best to first spend time preparing your hunters to hunt.

This is an excerpt from an episode in October. Here's the punchline: What's the cost of doing nothing? Is it something that I can just ignore? Probably more specifically, the question that should be asked is, what if I don't do anything about this but my competitors are doing it? Well, you're all competing for the same buyers.
