Actions speak louder than words
This is a cliche, yes, but one worth revisiting in the day of social media and self publishing. As an example - I volunteered to interview a potential sales candidate for a business I am consulting with and my only objective was to tease out the truth and the...
Be a business person, not a salesperson…
ADVICE & INSIGHTS Be A Business Person, Not A Salesperson... Jonathan Brickman 21 April 2018 I am a life long student of business and sales so let me share a real story to drive home a point, the subject of this post... It's not often a prospect gives you a complement...
Bring me more buyers!
We all love to talk about the "Buyer's Journey" and for good reason, because as much as we want to control and influence the sales process, the buyer really is in control so let us not forget that truth, and let that dictate our "Sales Process". Think about all the...
What’s your commit?
There are many catch phrases we use to try to understand how much business we are going to book for the month, the quarter, the year... whatever the time period is...and we obsess about this target until the window closes. It's a funny game we play and we do all sorts...
Being Social…really does work
A couple months ago I posted a blog about the power of social selling, but also about the need to be on your game when it comes to being social...and what do you know, it was picked up by a fellow digital marketer at straightnorth.com and I was asked to share their...

Challenge your buyers!
I took a sales call yesterday and, I have to admit, I was really, really impressed with the salesperson on the other end of the line. Â He was educational, but mostly was effective because he challenged me. The funny thing is, I don't think this person knew...
The basics still carry the day
I have been busy and, admittedly, on a bit of a blog respite as I am back at it again helping to build and energize a sales and client service organization...they call this a start-up! Anyway, I think it can be intimidating for someone to start the building process...
Hiring is scientific
I was reminded this week about the importance of getting it right when moving through the hiring process and how fortunate we are today now that we have some really great tools to help us cut through the noise of interviews. Yes, hiring people is more than just...
Get outside of yourself
My father once said to me "get outside of yourself" and now I know what he meant by that. As an adult, I can now appreciate and understand that living a productive life is much more than about "me". Approaching life with a broader perspective is what it's all about....
Corporate culture yes, but…
