Growth Dynamics Get Down

Hey everybody. Charlie Hauck, the guy from Growth Dynamics—you know who I am, what I do, and maybe you do, maybe you don't. If you're new, thanks for stopping into Fast Tip Friday.

Symptoms:

Kathy is frustrated after a recent sales call. She believes if she was brave enough to ask about certain things, the call would have gone her way. It seems like she is constantly on defense and that the client is intentionally "pushing her buttons". Despite her training, it felt like she was always reacting to every little thing that was said rather than thinking about what was really going on. How can she find a way to consistently act like a professional on the call?

Hey everybody, Charlie, Growth Dynamics, you know the drill. Fast Tip Friday, here for a quick but valuable lesson.

Symptoms:

Sadie was pumped to have a meeting with the right decision makers on her new product. They quickly agreed to her lunch and learn invitation and even let her know how excited they were about her products. They used a competitor’s products, and this was her chance to get the sale. She gathered the standard slide deck, added a few slides comparing her product to the others in the marketplace and even went as far to include delivery information. She knew this was the lunch and learn to end all lunch and learns and it would be an easy close.

Hey everybody, Charlie Hauck here—Founder of Growth Dynamics, Lead Trainer, Creative Consultant, Executive Coach, Content Creator, Cheerleader… and one more thing I want to share that’s a bit personal: I’m a grandparent.

Symptoms:

“The weather is changing; flowers and trees are popping out and I am exactly the same” thought Sam. Sam has been in sales for her entire career. She knows she does well enough as she has climbed the ranks through various companies, but she tends to plateau with medium accounts. Sam has yet to earn some of the major accounts and or territories that make salespeople’s careers.

Hey everybody. How are you? It's Charlie, your President and lead trainer at Growth Dynamics, doing the Fast Tip Friday thing again for you here today.

Symptoms:

Sondra worked relentlessly to hit her numbers and keep her territory on top of the rankings.  Never shy about asking for business, if a sales report showed a dip in the numbers, Sondra would beat the bushes for the orders that might help push her over the goal for that quarter.

Hey everybody. Sarah Waple here, and I am not here with a mid-week motivation. I am doing a Fast Tip Friday, and this is my tip for this Friday: You need to engage your child-like ego state and do some role-playing before you make that big sales call we talk about all the time—calling and getting your coaching, discussing all the things that can go wrong, going over your discovery card.

Symptoms:

Matt is looking at his calendar and doing some planning, knowing that many things he does look too much like random acts of mindless behavior. Looking back on past months, he feels like he was scrambling and playing catch up all the time instead of having that feeling that he had some deliberate control of his actions. He wants to get back that feeling of being on a roll, where it's like running downhill instead of uphill all the time.
