After a successful debut in Dublin in January with the Pendulum Summit, the demand for a return visit to “go deeper” has been well heard. So, here’s the deal.
The reality of sales is people do not want to be sold. I’ve never met anyone who enjoys having someone try to sell them something. So my first directive to salespeople when it comes to selling strategies is to quit selling. It doesn’t work.
Selling a product, idea, or service in today’s economy takes more effort than it did even five years ago. Technology has allowed for businesses to connect all over the world, meaning most consumers, customers, or clients have many options available. This means a sales person must work to build trusting relationships to win new customers and grow the ones you already have. Jack will explain the importance of leveraging your business’ unique competitive advantages to create systems and processes to be used by your entire sales team to ensure the growth of your company.
This session is heavy on identifying the things that need to be done; “the what…” and then getting motivated to actively engage in “the how” of putting the processes in place.
Key Learnings:
Earning trust by caring first
Leveraging centers of influence
Perception of Value is key to Differentiation
Goal achievement thru specific activities
Measurement and Accountability Systems
Turning prospects into clients via pipeline management
Creating a “value to the prospect” Touch System
Reducing, if not eliminating objections
Quickly identifying and adjusting to Personalities
Helping others buy instead of selling them something

PENDULUM SUMMIT – Speaking of my Dublin visit in January to 6,000+, here are a few more action clips.
RECRUITING REMINDERS
How can this still be happening? I ask my Leadership audiences how many are presently looking to hire a new top sales performer and less than 25% of the hands go up? Then, of those who do raise their hands, I ask for the list of names of those being pursued, and the most frequent refrain is “What list?” How can this be happening? You should always be looking for a new top sales performer. There is no such thing as “fully staffed”. Adding a top sales performer will not only bring you their top numbers, but raise the bar on your other good players, and often results in other top sales people following the new hire to your business as well.
Recruiting is a process and not an event. All too often, we find the Sales Manager start recruiting after someone decides to quit, or where we let some non-performer go. That’s NOT recruiting!
Here’s recruiting: 1. A list of at least 15 viable candidates; look beyond your industry; court the list with at least two touches per month per candidate; the top candidates go where they want and when they want, and tend to go to those who have been in touch along the way; and recognize that the best hires are typically happy where they are and not looking to make a change until “life happens”. Put yourself in the lead position of consideration with those top performers!
PS – If you don’t schedule the time, it will not get done. Don’t let a sports coach outperform you in this important area.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
“HIT REFRESH” by Satya Nadella. Microsoft’s new CEO shares his vision to reignite this industry giant. After reading last month’s suggested THE FOUR, I’m now inclined to expecting Microsoft to make it THE FIVE. Here’s some tease..
The first principle is to compete vigorously and with passion in the face of uncertainty and intimidation.
A second principle is simply the importance of putting your team first, ahead of your personal statistics and recognition.
My approach is to lead with a sense of purpose and pride in what we do, not envy or combativeness.
The phrase we use to describe our emerging culture is “growth mindset”.
To be a leader in this company, your job is to find the rose petals in a field of shit.
Success can cause people to unlearn the habits that made them successful in the first place.
The C in CEO is about being the curator of culture. (With the relative size of Microsoft and its cash position, watch for a reemergence)
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
**NEW 1/2 Day Sales Workshops- REGISTER TODAY
After road testing the concept in Philly in January, to rave reviews, we elected to add a few more. Feedback was that companies could send several more of their team given the lower entry investment, and getting their teams out in the field with “Jack’d Up Energy” and selling tools that same afternoon.
Register for today for one of only threeremainingSales and Management Summits. Our workshop calendar is significantly smaller than years past so start planning today to join Jack in one of the cities below……

June 21, 2018– Management Success Workshop- Chicago, IL
If you’re ready to accelerate your business growth, join us for Jack Daly’s Winning Sales Strategies Seminar Sales Workshops! If you’re a salesperson or sales director who is constantly looking for the edge that can take your team to an explosive new level of growth and success, then the advantage you and your team are continually seeking has just landed in your lap. Jack Daly’s Winning Sales Strategies Workshops are loaded with game-changing tactics and strategies that should always be within arm’s reach of every business and sales professional. In these powerfully practical workshops Jack shares the time-tested sales techniques that work to drive the growth.
We talk a lot about the importance of culture to success in business. We also speak to how quickly we can detect (smell) a company’s culture. Once you get the culture right, everything else gets easier. Here are some verbal cues to be alert for (I am particularly sensitive to these as I assess my Coach clients and the work I need to do):
Best efforts versus a sense of urgency (time is of the essence)
If versus when (results happen with “when”, not “if”)
Try versus do (thanks Andy Bailey for the constant reminder)
No problem (double dipping in negativity)
You know (no, I don’t)
Truthfully (as in what went previously wasn’t?)
Like (please, just say it)
I guess ( comes off uncaring and not important)
EQUIPPED TO GROW IN 2018!
We get asked all the time, “What do we need to do to grow sales better?” After getting a snapshot of their situation, the answer starts with 3 important questions:
1) Do you have a dedicated Sales Manager focused on growing the sales team in Quality and Quantity?
2) Do you have a Playbook with your best plays to train the team?
3) Does your team practice in-house, or do they practice on your customers?

CEO COACHING
Last year I announced my decision to take on interested clients that would like my personal guidance in growing their businesses in a Hyper Growth fashion. If you have an interest, email Jennifer@jackdaly.net or call 888-298-6868 to arrange for us to talk. I have three open spots left for 2018.
A thumbnail summary of what I will bring to the engagement: a) Accountability – my standards are high, expect no room to “hide”; b) Focus – Focus precedes success means curtailing chasing shiny objects; c) Devil’s Advocate – Be prepared for your Coach to ask “WHY”, and we mean repeatedly; d) Catalyst for Hyper Growth – Too often what holds us back is our limited thinking. Here is where we unleash for Hyper Growth; e) Networker for Resources – The Coach is the “go to” resource for matching needs with the talent that exists world-wide; f) 3rd Party Sounding Board – Coach brings a fresh set of eyes to your business at a CEO perspective.
You remember when I won the Tesla for growing my business by $500k in a year? While I was so proud for doing a great job, all you said was “that makes me want a barf bag! What’s $500k in a year? That sucks!” Well maybe you do and maybe you don’t. Either way, that dinner I had with you and the “good night kiss” you called it as you peered back in the window as I dropped you at the hotel and you asked me if I’d rather have 20 gigs at $1k each or 2 at $10k each? Of course I answered 2! Well I’m happy to report that as of Friday I have $550k in NEW revenue for this year with another $500k closing next month and just shy of $1M in the pipeline. February isn’t over yet and I’ve beat my car winning year. I’m thinking I’ll send you a barf bag to sign so I can hang it on my wall and tell people how full of it I was until I got Jacked! Thanks and I’ll keep you updated as the year comes along. Thanks for lighting a fire under me and not holding back on the punches! See Bonnie knew I needed you, that’s why she told you to come to Nashville and visit the Grand Ole Opry (: I’m thankful she allowed me to share that precious time and I wanted you to know that it was time well spent! BAM!
If any article in this newsletter would be of interest to your co-workers, customers or clients we would appreciate having you forward it along.
Have you attended one of Jack Daly’s sales workshops or seen one of Jack’s keynotes? We’d love to hear from you! Let us know!
Your time with our team has them really fired up (Jack’d up) and it is a really exciting thing to see. In my wrap up on Friday following your presentation, I asked everyone to identify a minimum of 3 things that they will be doing differently based upon your time with us, things that they will be using to grow exponentially this year, and that can be discussed openly on coaching calls that I have with them. I set a timeline of today to have them over to me, yet almost the entire team had them to me Saturday and Sunday. I even had one of our newest reps work backwards to his goal- he defined his success, and charted backwards to the present- and he did this while flying on his flight home early Saturday morning! I am really excited Jack.
Your time with us was all that we could hope for and more, which is the understatement of the year.

Our conversion rate went through the roof after seeing you. We went from around $900 million funds under management at the time to $3.2 billion today and that occurred in the aftermath of the great financial crisis when many of our competitors were struggling. I feel a sincere thank you is in order for all that you have done to help us
Tim Samway

Before we began working with you we lacked a coherent sales and marketing system to capture leads and convert them to clients. Since that time we have implemented a new CRM system, completely overhauled our website, identified our core prospects, and successfully increased our sales by over 50%. Since we began working with you we have far surpassed the original goals that we set from day one as a direct result of the collaboration between your team and ours. You have helped us focus on the most important aspects of our business which has allowed us to thrive during a period of turmoil for many of our peers. Thank you again for the superior communication, service, and coaching that has moved Fabian Wealth Strategies to the next level.
Thank you Jack and thank you for a great job! Since 1998 we have run 27 conferences of this type. Ours is a tough crowd so your evaluation score is all that much more meaningful-a 4.96 out of 5! In fact only Jim Collins has scored over a 4.95 at one of our gigs.

Jack spoke at the Belfast Open Day yesterday to a capacity audience of 200. His passion, enthusiasm, relevant experiences and stories lit up the room and everyone went away feeling they had achieved excellent value and plenty of very valuable take away action points. Overall ratings by the members were 99% for value and presentation.

Jack has trained thousands of our nation’s heroes, military recruiters from all branches including the Canadian Armed Forces on multiple occasions. Jack always knocks it out of the park and leaves my clients begging for more. Jack is a win-win for my clients, as they gain so much insight on how to become a better recruiter and they also get to apply Jacks tips and techniques in their personal life.

We at Oakworth Capital have implement Jack’s techniques and methods over the course of our relationship with him, and it has made us a higher performing financial institution. Our annual client retention rate is 99.5%. Earnings increased over 32% last year. The average annual shareholder return for the past six years is 16.7%. Oakworth Capital Bank is performing at a higher level thanks to Jack Daly.

I had the opportunity to see Jack in action during his visit to an event put on by EO Calgary in January 2014. He is easily the best speaker that I’ve seen to date and he packs a ton of energy to the stage! We left the event feeling not only rejuvenated about connecting with our prospects, customers and clients but also full of new exciting ideas that I can’t wait to implement right away.

Jack greatly helped our organization gain clarity around our strategic vision and direction. His background from being an entrepreneur to running large organizations provides him with a unique perspective as CEO of Professional Sales Coach. Whether it is tackling the toughest sales problems or the toughest triathlon you can count on “IronMan” Jack to take you across the finish line.

Thanks again for the outstanding workshop. Of the many I’ve attended over 30 plus years, I walked away from yours with the most concrete ideas and value for money – by far. Please note that your workbook will not sit on our shelves. I don’t think you had even left when the room when our team had pulled together to go through it. We start implementing Monday morning.

Your session today was incredibly insightful and your fundamentals are great reminders to focus on what matters to build trust with clients and prospects. As a business owner, there were plenty of moments in which I took a hard look at how our companies operate, and I recognized the need for some real change. This evening, I have generated three goals for each of our companies, and I intend to personally track each one with metrics and honest feedback within our team.

When I first heard Jack Daly speak at the national conference earlier this year, I just knew we had to bring him to Milwaukee. He takes powerful material, adds his personal street smarts and actual experience, and delivers a wallop of words that every CEO needs to hear once in a while. And I want my top sales person to hear the same message with me.

On behalf of Inc. Magazine, I would like to thank you for your participation in our annual Growing the Company Conference. Your session was evaluated by attendees based on a scale of 4 (excellent) to 1 (poor). Your average score was 3.96…the highest scoring session!.

What rave reviews you received for your presentation at the RPMA conference. The comments I got were that everyone wanted more. This is the 12th year for the conference, and I think yours was the best review I’ve received in all 12 years.

I didn’t need to tell you what it takes to hold the attention of an “All-CEO” group such as mine, because you did it. All too often, speakers come from theory without practice. Your background indicated “you’ve been there” and your presentation showed it. The most frequent comment heard was the amount of immediately implementable action ideas delivered.
