Growth Dynamics Get Down

Hey everybody. This is Sarah Waple, partner at Growth Dynamics, and I am here with a Fast Tip Friday.

Symptoms:

Roger could not believe what he just heard. The conversation with one of his most challenging prospects ground to a halt after Roger had asked if the deal just did not make sense. Despite the fact that this was one opportunity that could significantly impact his bonus, Roger just could not think of one more thing to say. So, he just stood there and contemplated how he swung and missed again. “I guess I have to accept your program, so let’s write this up and get that first order in here next week.” What just happened, did someone else walk into the office or did a dream just pop into his subconscious mind? The deal just closed, and Roger was not talking when it happened.

Symptoms:

Diane returned from the product demo certain that the features and benefits she shared with her prospect had wowed them. The buyer nodded when Diane asked if the product fit into the product categories they offered to their customer base, and everyone else that sat in on the meeting told her how much they liked what she had presented. She felt as good about this call as she had in a long time, but now six weeks later there was still no purchase order and the prospect had gone radio silent. How did their excitement turn into Diane's frustration?

Symptoms:
The silence was deafening. Both Valerie and her prospect sat there looking at each other waiting for the other person to speak first. Valerie had finished her presentation of the new products' features and benefits and was expecting the Director of Operations to give her some indication of how well she had done.

Hey everybody. Charlie Hauk, president, lead trainer, founder of Growth Dynamics. It's another one of those Fast Tip Fridays for you. You know, one of the things I've really enjoyed about being in this business for as long as I have 36 to be 37 years in October, the ideas and the concepts that we share with our clients, they're not scripted. They're not memorize these things.

Hey, I've got a real easy one today. It's got no real content, but I just thought, along with everybody else in the world, I'd do a list as well. So what I put together for this Fast Tip Friday is a list of 10 movies that may be great watches on a rainy, possibly miserable Memorial Day weekend. So I thought I'd give you a list. I have watched parts or all of all of these movies. Some of them, I want to tell you—particularly the first one on my list—do not watch it with small children and deeply religious people in the room, as the language and the behavior are rather challenging for a lot of people. So here's my list.

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.
