Are you a sales road warrior? Every week I'm asked about travel tips, recommended hotels, airlines, and locations.

This is the hidden secret behind high sales performance. If you follow my content, or any other sales thought leader's work, you'll find a plethora of great strategies, practices, and ideas that you can apply in your business. Yet, one idea, in particular, seems to always get neglected.

We've talked repeatedly, especially this year, the importance and value of your relationships. At the end of every presentation, call, meeting, or strategy session, the fundamental pillar behind whether or not you create great sales and a thriving organization comes down to your ability to create, maintain and grow your relationships.

The weakest part of the sales cycle can create havoc in a sales rep's short-term and long-term sales success. The good news? It can easily be fixed too.

We're in Q4! This can bring feelings of anxiety for many salespeople, especially if they're behind target. Don't worry! There's still time to end the year on target..or even exceed it! 

It goes without saying, but the more interesting you are, the more clients and prospects will want to engage with you. To be clear, being interesting doesn’t simply mean having the best stories on a Monday morning after a busy weekend. And, don't think you need to start jumping out of airplanes or start setting world records either.

Sorry, your customers don't want to partner with you. In fact, they hate partnering with you.
