Tibor Shanto’s Post: New Year’s Evolution

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca Last week I posted about the how trends don’t use calendars and the flaw in trying to tie trends and the start of a new year; people on the other hand are different and do make effective use of calendars and planning to make improvements or changes in the way they do things.  This includes sales people and the way they sell, and I would encourage people to set more time based objectives, and develop … Continue reading

Tibor Shanto’s Post: ” Prospectors’ Guide To Objection Handling – Part I – Sales eXchange 163 “

Last month I posted a piece call “The Reality Of Prospecting Rejection“, in it I argued that rather than trying to avoid rejections, sales organizations and sales people need to adopt and adhere to a specific prospecting process, and leverage it for consistent results.  The goal is to adopt a method for dealing with rejection, rather than trying to avoid them.  With a proper method, executed consistently, you will be in a position to address and manage objections, and convert … Continue reading
