Growth Dynamics Get Down

Hey everybody, Charlie Hauck here—Lead Trainer and Founder of Growth Dynamics—back for another Fast Tip Friday.

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.

Symptoms:

Brian just made a proposal to a buyer and received the same response he has heard so many times recently. "Thanks for the proposal. Appreciate you coming in. We'll give it some consideration and let you know."

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:

As a newly hired sales manager for a medical equipment company, Devin inherited a large and under performing sales team. The team included the usual cast of characters: a diva who never took the blame for her results, a home run hitter who really struck out more than he connected, a Steady Eddie who was unspectacular but reliable, four or five people that seemed to confuse activity with productivity and a couple of truly high performers who annoyed everyone else with their consistency.

Symptoms:

Recently, nothing stung Darren more than when his wife pointed out that he failed yet again at his promised to be home for dinner. And, tonight he knew that he wouldn't make it to dinner again. His two kids were at the ages where they always seemed to be headed from one practice or another, and his wife Jessica was feeling often deserted when she asked Darren for help with all the driving around town. “Work/life balance” meant nothing more than disappointment to Darren as his boss just kept the pressure on by asking for more sales every month.

Hey, how is everybody today? It's Fast Tip Friday time, Charlie Hauck growth dynamics. I've got one. It might be a little bit long, but some of you—I hope you'll laugh at it, not be offended by any of it—but it's something, It's one of those cycles that I keep running into when I'm out at a client site, talking to their sales teams.

Hey everybody. How are you today? Fast Tip Friday from Charlie Hauck, President, lead trainer at growth dynamics.

Symptoms:
After a long sales process finally appeared to be coming to a successful conclusion, Paul was breathing a sigh of relief until his client decided he wanted to extract some sweat from Paul for the win. Just when he thought it was over and done, the regional vice president chimed in with one last contract change that he claimed was a deal breaker if it wasn't accommodated.

All right, everybody. Charlie Hauck. Good morning, good afternoon. Whenever you're listening to it, it's fine by me, it's Fast Tip Friday time again.
