NEW YEARS RESOLUTION ARE A JOKE

Look, we all know it. They typically have a shelf life of a max 60 days. Don’t waste your time. For decades now I have followed a simple yet effective goal setting process that produces results. Last month’s newsletter encouraged our readers to go to Life by Design on my website for a look at my personal goals. Well, the website has now been updated with several data documents, two of which I encourage you to review. The first is labeled Personal Goals 2017; the other is Year in Review 2016.

While all I set out to accomplish in 2016 did not get done, the more important take away is all that did get done. This is a process that can work for all, both on your personal life goals and as well on your business goals. It comes down to four components: a) Goals in writing; b) written plan on how the goals will be accomplished; c) system of measurement; and d) system of accountability. For a deeper dive I encourage you to refer to Chapter 2 in my recently released book, The Sales Playbook for Hyper Sales Growth. If you’re not accomplishing what you want in either business or life, this process will get you moving in the right direction. The key is to TAKE ACTION.

HYPER SALES GROWTH MEMBERSHIP CLUB

I am so excited for the launch of this Program which will be your virtual playbook for sales success in 2017. Check out my new website at www.jackdalytraining.com and listen to my 12 minute audio plus read the details of the program. The program includes (1) a monthly call hosted by me to answer your questions (all calls will be recorded should you not be free to join the live call; Prior to the call, my team will send out questionnaires so that I can address your specific questions on our group calls – my belief is that these monthly calls will serve as your coach and confidant as you achieve hyper sales throughout the year; (2) peer to peer networking & learning; (3) structured accountability; (4) Jack Daly University Core Curriculum Content; (5) Interactive Group Email List. The program is designed for individual salespeople and sales managers plus there is a special enterprise price for company’s interested in registering 5 people or more. This program launches today so contact my business partner Jeff Shavitz at 561-988-8300 or [email protected].

RECRUITING TOP SALES PERFORMERS

If you are a Sales Manager, this is the key to success in 2017. Wherever I go, I hear the same refrain: “It’s hard to find good sales performers”. I’m not suggesting that it isn’t, however I don’t believe Sales Managers are giving this important activity its proper attention and time. Let’s take an honest look in the mirror. How much time are you committing each month to this activity? Do you have a target list in writing of at least 15 candidates that would qualify as “top sales performers”? Do you have a touch system in place, with a minimum of 2 touches per month with each recruit on your list? Have you identified the profile of what a top performer looks like in your company, in your industry? Are you looking beyond your industry for candidates? We have found its easier to teach a top performer from outside your industry the business than it is to increase the knowledgeable industry sales performer who has been in the bottom half of performers. Do you have an incentive/bonus program offer to all employees to help you find candidates for your list of recruits? If so, is it enough to get people to take action? These are just some of the questions of integrity we should be wrestling down when we say it’s hard to find good sales performers.

All too often Sales Managers begin the “recruiting process” when they lose a member of the team. Then they are rushed and compromise on the new hire. This is not recruiting, this is absorbing, and indicates the Sales Manager is functionally awol. When I ask Sales Managers if they have a list of recruits, the answers are too often pathetic: “I’m fully staffed “ (you always have room for top performers); “Yes, I have a list, it’s 2-3 people” (this is equivalent to no list); and the list of excuses or deficiencies continues. The key to success in 2017 is predicated on the quantity and quality of the sales team. That’s job #1 of the Sales Manager. Time to TAKE ACTION.

SALES MANAGER FORUM

Boy, did I hear a similar message throughout 2016: Business owners, CEO’s, entrepreneurs have several groups they can join to leverage peer to peer learning, yet where can Sales Managers get together to brainstorm best practices in this critical to growth role in the company? I’ve been a resource as well as a member of several of these CEO organizations for over two decades, and I know exactly what you are asking.

In June I will launch the first such group with a max of 20 participants that will be meeting three times a year for two days each per meeting. Participation in this group will be by application and the participants will be required to meet certain criteria, all of which will be announced in the next 60 days. If you have an early interest on this minimal amount of info, I suggest you email my Business Manager Jennifer Geiger at J[email protected] and get on the list. That’s it for now.

Testimonial: What you’ve taught in the past two days in St. Louis has been more valuable than all my other previous training’s combined I love that I will be able to take action on our pipeline management system, personal touches- photo cards and photo stamps and challenging my muscle memory to think “what will motivate this person to do business with me”. Mind you, these are the top 3 out of 58 actions items I’ve learned from you.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and what you’ve learned to be successful.

TAKING ACTION

Jack

One week ago I had the privilege to experience your sales training seminar in San Diego.

What a great day for myself, but much more important was the fact I invited two of our inside Sales ladies who the week before where barely speaking. Since last Friday they have completely come together to assemble the iQ Sales Team Play Book. It is 40 pages in notebook ready for our five Regional Managers coming in for process review and practice.

There is much more to the story, I hope to share it with you in the future.

Thank You, Jack Daly

Sincerely

Joel Guth

Bonnie,

Just closed a $780,000 project, beating a big box dealer.

This will be my 4th consecutive year with a single project deal size of $500,000 or more.

To give you an idea about the size, a $50,000 order is great. A $100,000 order is awesome. 🙂

Thank you for coordinating Daly’s visit and for keeping in touch with me. I think of you often.

I have, in the last two months, transitioned to a full time sales role and am so excited to see just how much I can grow my book of business.

You can let Jack know it was not left in the room.
