🧠 “It’s not a pitch; it’s a conversation.” 🎯 This week, we had some sales training, and Stuart Pearce (not the England Legend himself!) shared some gold with us in the 1% Club. Not a single penalty joke in sight, but he did drop some serious wisdom about the sales process. Here are Stuart’s 5 key tips: 1️⃣ It’s about them, not you. 2️⃣ Show value and urgency – if you don’t, someone else will! 3️⃣ It’s not a sales pitch; it’s a conversation. 4️⃣ Follow the process – skip steps and you’ll regret it. 5️⃣ Don’t panic – keep your cool; sales is a marathon, not a sprint. It really got me thinking... Sales isn’t about pushing your product down someone’s throat. It’s about solving their problem and building trust. 💡 So, here’s my question to you: What’s your best tip for selling without ‘selling’? #SalesTips #BusinessGrowth #TrustTheProcess #PropertyJourney #KnowLikeTrust

Good Morning Never EVER take NO for an answer. For all we know it JUST could be smoke screen to wade away pesky sales people! For those who know fortune lines very deep so are key accounts! Knowing whether to say and going prepared with alternate rebuttals is the key to sustained success! Hearing NO is what makes sales so very special. Every NO takes one closer to sale closure. It’s purely one’s approach and attitude which determines altitude of success. #sales #salesfulfilment #Salesenabling #Salessuccess Maxires Consulting Maxires Training & Consulting

As a former defense captain, Who led my football team to a regional championship (yes, I’m still bragging ha), I uncovered 3 golden nuggets about people that could give your business the winning edge it’s been craving: 𝟭. 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗼 (𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆). No one likes to guess their way through decisions. Lay out a clear, step-by-step path for your customers, and they’ll follow you like a goose trailing after its mother. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 (𝗢𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱). If you’re not positioning yourself as the expert, why should anyone pay attention? Stand tall in what you know, and watch how quickly people start coming to you for advice. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝘆). Jumping straight to the sale without building trust is like proposing on the first date—awkward and likely to be rejected. Invest in relationships, and you’ll find that the sales start to flow naturally, without any hard selling. Alright, that’s a wrap for me—time to go polish my (oops, 𝘰𝘶𝘳) trophy and crank out some emails. Catch you soon!

Big deals don't happen without a little scheming with your champion (a little story from way back in 2016) Setting: Some random pub near Waterloo 🍻 One of my our deals' champions was in town for an event This was our swing deal for the quarter - and year It was going to catapult my rep to be amongst the top in EMEA Fortunately for us, he agreed to meet me for a drink between sessions (Wasn't a hard ask - he was my champion at his previous employer) It was one of the most pivotal champion meetings I can recall We talked about: ✅ How our deal was trending ✅ Which execs were in favour - and why ✅ Which execs were skeptical - and why ✅ What we still needed to overcome ✅ How we can build a more credible business case ✅ Where internal urgency could be found - and aligned with While he was a champion of ours from previous ↳He was a champion here because he knew we could help If all went according to plan, the outcomes would be a big career boost for him In other words - there was a big something in it for him From this one meeting, we had co-authored a plan to win. From this one meeting, we knew exactly what work was left to do. From this one meeting, we had a mutual timeline to do that work. The deal happened according to plan. 💥 Our champion came through for him and us In all the meetings where we weren't invited He fought the battles we could never fight The battles we did our best to prepare him for. It made the quarter and year for my rep - and our team Which wouldn't have happened without a tested champion Nor would it have happened without a little scheming It's not enough to find a champion Nor enough to develop them to fight for you Not even enough to test them to ensure they're ready Oftentimes - a little scheming is needed to co-author that plan to win Happy selling.   🏔

Our team had the opportunity to enhance their skills at the Advanced Selling Strategies Workshop hosted by Think Grow Lead TGL. Held at the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the workshop covered impactful topics and practical skills. The in-person setting created a high-energy atmosphere, which provided great opportunities to connect with fellow sales professionals by exchanging insights and discovering impactful book recommendations. Key Takeaways from our Team: • Winning Sales Mindset Remembering our ‘Why’- the motivation that pushes us through challenges and helps us strive for excellence, inspired by the Mamba principle from Kobe Bryant. • Practical Selling Skills We learned that how we sell often reflects how we buy. By anticipating objections and being persuasive, we can close deals more effectively. • Creating Value Our team gained valuable techniques for sparking interest in our solutions and converting that interest into conversations by demonstrating tangible, dollar-value benefits. #BelconTrinidad #SalesTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment #AdvancedSelling #TeamGrowth #ThinkGrowLead #SalesExcellence

Five steps to consistent sales performance. #salesperformance #salestips #salesprocess

Success in sales is built not only on skill but on resilience. Every 'no' you hear is one step closer to that winning 'yes.' It's not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you stand back up and push forward. Remember, every call, every pitch, and every follow-up is progress. Motivation for today: Keep going, even when it's tough. The greatest sales stories come from those who kept pushing when others stopped. #bunmijembola #salesrubyacademy #success #sales #explore #fyp #motivationalmonday #monday #keeppushing
