Sales Training and Self Training for Success

  
  
  
  
  
  

 

One of my favorite questions to ask a group of veteran sales people that are obviously less than enthusiastic about the corporate decision to hire us for sales training and changing their culture is:  Who is Hank Haney?  Occasionally someone will know.  Most of the time people do not.  Forget all about the trials and tribulations of his most famous student for a second and just understand the concept.

Seth Godin Blog

Seth Godin in his blog posted the following:Self Help.  In it, he describes those people that are critical and skeptical of self-help books and those sales people that are attempting to sell.  As I read the post, I thought of two things:

        1. Understand that your profession of selling is an honorable one.  You do good work for people.  You help them achieve dreams, conquer fears and obtain their deepest desires.  Selling is a good thing, so be proud, be very proud of what you do.
        2. Even the most seasoned professional in any walk of life will benefit by venturing into the world of self-help.
Here are some of the outcomes that always happen when you take the steps to improve:  You validate what you are already doing - good.  You learn something new that will help you - good.  You get reminded of something you did that was good but you have stopped doing it - good.  And finally, you read or see something that you totally disagree with and so you learn what you are notgoing to do - good.

If you ask me, these are pretty good outcomes of allowing yourself to be helped.

By the way, Hank Haney is Tiger Wood's golf coach (not his personal coach-that person is yet to be named).
