Winning In Sales: The 7 MUSTS: Succeeding In The Modern Game of Selling

Achieving consistent and profitable sales remains the biggest challenge for most companies. In this riveting talk, based on Andre’s book, he describes how sales success is predictable when you combine the 7 elements he defines as “MUSTS.”

There are many factors why sales professionals and entrepreneurs often find themselves in a position where it’s difficult to land new sales. While the economy and competitive conditions is a factor, more often than not, the real reason is that the sales professional has become disconnected from the winning tactics that lead to success. Over time, sales professionals can become complacent and neglect the approaches necessary to succeed. Your sales team will learn:

• Why having a clear sales target is so important, how to set and maintain focus on your target.
• How to craft a value-rich message using words, proven effective in selling situations.
• The power of being proactive and how to stay motivated, so you stay in forward motion.
• Keys to mastering client interaction, winning clients over, and keeping the people factor in mind.
• How to be systematic in your sales planning and in the sequence of your sales activities.
• How to avoid distraction and maintain focus on your most profitable opportunities.
• How to turn “NO” into a progressive next step that moves the sale along.

Expand: Outgrow Your Limits. Unlock Your Potential.

In this talk, André Taylor brings together more than 30 years of study and work on the subject of maximizing human potential. Your audience will be challenged to look beyond their ideas about what they can be and do, and will be reminded that they have the freedom and responsibility to decide their future. They’ll learn how to get off the treadmill of mediocre performance, and mundane expectations. They’ll become empowered to expand in whatever areas of life they’ve found themselves locked into position and rise to higher levels of personal and professional fulfillment.

André makes the point that surprisingly, many people have not fully considered their potential. They “turn off” the idea, often in their youth, choosing instead to allow their functional potential to be defined and limited by societal norms. To support this thesis, André describes distinct differences in the way Millenials, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y perceive their innate and career potential. Underscoring this point is the fact that more than 100 million Americans are not as aspirational as their parents. He explains how you can avoid falling in the trap of low expectations and how when you challenge yourself and develop a taste of your potential, you’ll not only feel more alive but will be determined to grow.

During this session your people will learn proven strategies to ensure they’re the decider of their lives, keep their attention focused while overcoming typical fears and doubts, and recognize “choke points” that limit their potential.  They’ll learn how to stop confusing current challenges for permanent challenges and see themselves more and more creating a new picture for themselves and turning that picture into reality.

You Are Your Habits: The 4 Habits Winners Master

Aristotle said: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” In this talk, André discusses how your habits make you and explains how you can lead, win, and flourish by redefining you habits. Whether your group includes managers, salespeople, or staff members, they’ll be thoroughly engaged as André explores this topic by focusing on four categories:

• The Get Going Habit
• The Keep Going Habit
• The Get Ahead Habit
• The Stay Ahead Habit

During this session, André makes the point that applying success ideas is far more difficult than understanding them. And being able to see where you really are is enormously difficult for a large number of people. There’s a gap between what we want and the behavior we engage in. Sadly, we don’t see it.

What we do and what happens to us is a reflection of the habits we’ve formed – even when we think it’s all about the other person’s behavior. André explains habits not as something you do, but something you are which attracts certain responses in others. He challenges you to achieve more and by becoming more. How creative could we be? How much more effective could we be? How can we overcome the same problems with people and process that continually crop up? This talk will help your group reshape their results and experiences as they break free of habits that do not help them.
