Soaring Sales Success - How To Achieve Greatness

Welcome to the beginning of a new year! This is not only a new year for our sales team, but it could be a new year in our thoughts about sales and our thoughts about our successes.

So what's the "blog" thing about? Well to put it quite simply, it's a way to move us out of the dark ages of communication and to create a sales community that is interactive - a sales team that moves far beyond what we think we can do and takes us, through our collective effort, to a new level of personal and professional performance.

On a regular basis (daily in most cases), you will see postings from either myself as moderator or our Area Sales Execs...Doug, Scott or Andy. Together we will keep you informed, keep you on track and share in our overall successes. But this isn't about us...no...it's really about you - our professional team and the outstanding accomplishments that you bring to our customers, our company and share from yourselves.

From time to time we'll share video posts, much like the ones that you see to your right of this post. In this case, I selected some of the posts that were recently posted on "YouTube" from the Chamber of Commerce meeting that Laurel Land Fort Worth participated in. Most of the best ideas that become part of this meeting place will come from our best sources - YOU!

Likewise, to the right on this page you'll see places where you can participate in sales related polls. You're the ones out in the field selling...so if we need information, you'll be our best source. Feel free to vote. We will appreciate your input!

Each week we'll have a Sales Thougth for you to consider...to start with I've posted a thought from Anthony Parinello. Where will the thoughts come from? Sales leaders in our industry and around the country will be featured in this area. These should be thought provoking. Cause here's a reality check - if you want to be a top performer and achieve sales greatness - you have to think and act great...so what better way for us to help than to provide great SALES THOUGHTS!

Lastly, this is a forum. We want your comments. If you feel that you have something to add, by all means do so. There are some rules however: (1) don't post the name of customers or clients (any such posts will not be approved); (2) keep your comments to the topic at hand. One of the greatest benefits to a medium such as this is the ability to share ideas (especially those that you find work for you); and (3) respect the privacy of our company. We will not discuss issues that violate our company's Code of Business Conduct.

This forum is a general sales forum and as such will become a useful tool for us to grow as sales professionals. The best way for us to achieve Soaring Sales Success if to do what must be done, when it must be done - everyday!

Share your thoughts... We look forward to your input!
