Overcoming Procrastination for Sales Professionals

Selling is one of the most difficult professions. Who wants to be in a line of work where the typical response is "no?" Who wants to encounter rejection day in and day out? Effective salespeople face this scenario all the time. Hence, it's understandable when, on occasion, procrastination arises. Yet, with everyday techniques that anyone can master, no sales professional needs to be shackled by procrastination. In this session, professional speaker and author Jeff Davidson offers a variety of hands-on techniques that you can put into practice immediately to blast through road blocks, leap over barriers, and maintain productivity. Procrastination is part of the human condition, but you can keep it at bay, endlessly, so that you can be more productive at selling your product or service. Jeff discusses such notions as reflecting on past success, looking for small wins, visualization, feeling the fear, replacing limiting language, practicing creative procrastination, owning the goals before you, and not waiting for the perfect time. You can draw upon these ideas right now, tomorrow, the next day, and the next. This 30-minute session is a great pick-me-up!

The Mackay MBA of Selling in The Real World

Harvey Mackay is a legend - his bestsellers Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive and Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt were named by the New York Times as two of the most inspirational business books of all time. Now he's back with the sum total of decades of sales know-how-teaching go-getters how to make the sale and hit the numbers, day in and day out. His advice is rooted in road-tested, real-world experiences and include tips on the Web, LinkedIn, and Facebook. As Mackay notes, everyone from "the five-year-old proprietor of a lemonade stand . . . to the GE sales maven pitching a 250-megawatt turbine dynamo" can learn from this book. From finding the right mentor to earning customer loyalty to overcoming rejection, his passion and knowledge come through in his energetic and irreverent style. As a lifelong student of the sales game, he has spent decades collecting secrets, wisdom, and anecdotes. Each section of this book ends with a memorable Mackay's Moral such as: •Failure is not falling down, but staying down. •Big shots are just little shots who kept shooting. •A salesperson tells, a good salesperson explains . . . and a great salesperson demonstrates. •Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole. •Sound carries farther when others blow your horn. •Be like the turtle: If he didn't stick his neck out, he wouldn't get anywhere at all. •People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be. Even in our fast-paced, technologically driven world, the human touch is still the most important tool a salesperson has. And there is no one better to show you how to be a high-energy, determined, creative sales dynamo than Harvey Mackay.

Free Ride

How did the newspaper, music, and film industries go from raking in big bucks to scooping up digital dimes? Their customers were lured away by the free ride of technology. Now, business journalist Robert Levine shows how they can get back on track. On the Internet, "information wants to be free." This memorable phrase shaped the online business model, but it is now driving the media companies on whom the digital industry feeds out of business. Today, newspaper stocks have fallen to all-time lows as papers are pressured to give away content, music sales have fallen by more than half since file sharing became common, TV ratings are plum-meting as viewership migrates online, and publishers face off against Amazon over the price of digital books. In Free Ride, Robert Levine narrates an epic tale of value destruction that moves from the corridors of Congress, where the law was passed that legalized YouTube, to the dorm room of Shawn Fanning, the founder of Napster; from the bargain-pricing dramas involving iTunes and Kindle to Google's fateful decision to digitize first and ask questions later. Levine charts how the media industry lost control of its destiny and suggests innovative ways it can resist the pull of zero. Fearless in its reporting and analysis, Free Ride is the busi-ness history of the decade and a much-needed call to action.

The Irresistible Offer

What is needed is a new way of doing business, a method that is simultaneously socially responsible and far more effective than "old marketing". This new way is The Irresistible Offer.
