Hey everybody, Sarah Wapel here, partner at Growth Dynamics, and I’m back with another Fast Tip Friday.
Podcast: Hit Your Prospecting Goal In Target Time
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:
Matt hung up the phone after the bad news and couldn't believe that he had been beaten again because of his price. Knowing that he was not the lowest price on the block, he had given the prospect his best consulting expertise up front in an attempt to build his "value proposition", and then tried to save the money discussion for the end so as not to scare them away too early. He even voluntarily offered a 10% discount and some favorable terms in an attempt to win them over. After-all, it did seem like a lot of money they would be spending.
Fast Tip Friday: How Vulnerability Transforms Sales
Hey everybody. Charlie Hauk, president, lead trainer, founder of Growth Dynamics. It's another one of those Fast Tip Fridays for you.

They're not memorize these things.
Fast Tip Friday: A Lousy Prospect Rarely Equals a Good Client
Hey everybody, Charlie Hauck, Fast Tip Friday time. Hey, look, this is a topic that I think a lot of people in the consulting business don't want to talk about, because it sounds like we're disparaging human being. And I want to make sure that's not what we're trying to do.
Fast Tip Friday: Protect Your Value in Business Development
Hey, I want to talk a little bit tactical here today. I've been sharing some stuff on sort of process and personal management, but I want to dip back into the into the tactics pool here for you today, one of the things that we see happening far too often with our clients in the business development realm is that they are not willing to plant their feet on getting something if they give something.
Hiring: Resume Faker or Revenue Maker
Resumes have changed over the years and now with the help of AI, it may be hard for the untrained eye to know when the resume is full of fluff or if the shared information is as good as it seems.
Are you hiring or thinking about hiring?
Hiring. It is an important part of any business. Yet, not everyone feels they know the best way to go about it or know what made them successful, or maybe not so successful, in past hires. Even more, hiring is expensive business and not just the pay and benefits to the new hire, but the cost to get to that final outcome.
