Sales: A Force For Good (Launch Event, Americas)
Saturday May 01, 2021
Saturday May 01, 2021
We are #ProCustomer. Sales: A Force For Good is a global community committed to raising the bar in sales. We believe every customer deserves to feel safe whenever and however they engage with salespeople. #BuyerSafety is every salesperson's responsibility.
We believe that sales has taken a very wrong turn. Buyers have been educated to distrust salespeople. Selfish selling driven by selfish management, selfish leadership and selfish investors have forgotten that we exist because of the customer, not in spite of the customer. Our job is to help our customers to be successful and deliver the outcomes they want and need.
Salespeople must be reliable, relevant and responsive and focused on their customers' outcomes over their own selfish self-interest.
Listen to this exceptional discussion asking some of the essential questions that need to be asked and answered for us to make #SalesAForceForGood.
Join us if you believe sales is a service profession and you were put on the planet to help others be successful

Be Prepared To Be Fired Every Day For Doing The Right Thing
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Mark Herbert is a transformational leader and aspiring cult builder. We discuss why FW Taylor, the father of modern industrial management thinking was an agent of Satan. We explore where HR has taken a wrong turn and why it should be the conscience of the organisation. And we dig into why technology has been sold to seduce lazy leadership into thinking it can solve problems, instead of it being an enabler that needs to support great people strategy.
We discuss sales and the wrong turn it took 40 or 50 years ago, the role of sales and salespeople, and how we as seller, managers and leaders must be prepared to be fired every day for doing the right thing.
We delve deep into the different aspects of trust, the crucial responsibility to hire hard so you can manage easy.
Mark pulls no punches. It is a genuine pleasure to chat to him about the good, the bad and the truly ugly aspects of leadership and management, developing CEOs and the next generation of leaders.

Believe The Hype About Hype
Thursday Apr 22, 2021
Thursday Apr 22, 2021
Michael F Schein and I talk about the power of #hype to raise awareness, attract customers, communicate a powerful message and drive growth. He has written an extremely engaging book, #TheHypeHandbook, that demystifies how brand builders have used hype to get enormous traction with very limited resources delivering breathtaking results in lightening speed.
We explore how demagogues and publicists, businesses and champions of social good all use hype. Michael has distilled the 12 overarching strategies you can harness to build momentum that quickly grows without your involvement.
It is a controversial topic and hype can be used for good or bad. Michael accepts that your intent determines the use you put it to, but in a crowded market with limited resources, overlooking to power of hype is a costly and potentially fatal error to your business. Funny, engaging and witty, Michael brings the subject to life.

If You Want To Achieve Continuous Improvement, Coach
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Paul Ward is a high performance coach. We discuss why coaching is critical, what good coaching looks like and how understanding the personal motivational drivers of individual people allows you to drive personal AND team performance.
If you aren't coaching you do yourself, your team and your business a serious disservice. Claiming you are too busy to coach is paradoxically a byproduct of ... not coaching! Coaching liberates managers and frees up their time, helps eliminate performance and management problems whilst demonstrating to your people how much you value them.
Coaching coupled with #MotivationalMapping identifies flight risks, overcomes the guesswork when trying to uncover the true motivations of your people and allows you to pinpoint how you need to adapt your approach as a manager to get the very best out of everyone on your team.

Are You Making Every Word Count?
Sunday Apr 18, 2021
Sunday Apr 18, 2021
Eloise Leeson discusses the power of words. We explore linguistics, language, copy writing and what it takes to be an effective word smith.
Take a moment to visit your own website home page. Read it as a customer would read it. Do you communicate your relevance, your value quickly and powerfully?
Review your last 10 emails to prospects and customers. If you were on the receiving end of your communication, would you get past the first sentence? Make it to the end? Take the desired action you were hoping they would?
Do you write with deliberate intent of offering value to your reader, or do you word vomit poorly considered irrelevancies that might be important to you but have little or no intrinsic value to your customers?
Most business communication is excruciating and ends up in the bin before the intended reader gets past your headline or first paragraph. Have a listen to what Eloise says and take decisive action to improve all your written communication. People's inboxes are cluttered with noisy, selfish drivel. Corporate marketing is unbelievably boring and irrelevant.
Stand out through the quality and value of your written words

Rethink Everything You Know About Pricing & Loyalty
Thursday Apr 15, 2021
Thursday Apr 15, 2021
Cactus Raazi, author of Price joins me to talk about the leverage you can gain by better understanding the power of pricing strategically. His observations about pricing to encourage and reward loyalty are highly relevant in a world that treats customers as if they are an inconvenience.
Your pricing strategy can be a powerful differentiator to help you attract, win and keep customers, but he counsels against racing to the bottom on price because of the commoditising effect it will have.
Price is mainly focused on B2C environments but we discuss the many parallels that can be applied in a B2B context.
