Don’t set your skills on autopilot
Skill

Selling is not just about reacting

You use scores of skills and learned approaches in Your Sales Day without conscious thinking.

That's a good thing…it would slow you down if you had to think, "which skill should I use right now?"

So why think about skills at all?

…because you're playing this game to be in the TOP 10%. And osmosis is an unreliable learning method.

Do

You use more skills than you know

At some point today – maybe now, maybe later – review the following list of sales skills and ask yourself: "…which ones do I have to work on?"

– Closing,
– Collaboration,
– Email,
– Empathy,
– Goal-setting,
– Listening,
– Negotiating,
– Objection handling,
– Presenting,
– Probing,
– Prospecting,
– Qualifying,
– Relationship building,
– Speaking,
– Storytelling,
– Value prop leverage,
– Video comms.

Oh wait, there are more…

– Asking for referrals (yes, it's a skill)
– Consultative selling,
– Internal selling,
– Pipeline management,
– Servicing.
