10 Kurlan Sales Competencies That Are Keys to Building a Sales Culture

  
  
  
  

Dave Kurlan is a top-rated speaker, best-selling author, sales thought leader and highly regarded sales development expert.

These aren't the 10 sales competencies you read about and listen to all the time. No way!  These 10 are hardly ever discussed, seldom, if ever written about, and the most difficult to learn.  Ready?

  1. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.
  2. THE ENEMY IS RESISTANCE.
  3. YOU CAN TALK - IT'S YOUR MIND THAT HAS TO SHUT UP.
  4. GET AND USE A SALES GPS.
  5. SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP.
  6. PREVENT HAPPY EARS.
  7. PRESENT NO OPTIONS.
  8. IT'S ONLY A NUMBERS GAME IF YOU USE THE RIGHT NUMBERS.
  9. PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT.
  10. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTION.

If your salespeople can learn the fine art of these 10, they will outsell everyone they come up against. Forward the link to this post to anyone you think will enjoy the 10 articles.

Dave, you are spot on with these 10 competencies. The "soft" side of a sales organization's people development is rarely considered, but in today's Internet-based world (where information is just a click away), it is critical to a sales person's and company's success! Managers who read this should start by asking themselves "Where is my head at with these ten competencies?"
