Make Sales the Culture of Your Entire Company

Posted by Dave Kurlan on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 @ 11:07 AM

Make Sales the Culture of your entire company.  That's the advice suggested by Jim Stephens, my guest on this week's episode of Meet the Sales Experts. Listen in for his explanation!

Jim had three tips for being more effective in this economy:

  1. Turn off the TV and stop feeding your brain with bad news
  2. We create the future we envision so think about what you want, not what you have
  3. Act like a Warrior

Jim shared many entertaining, insightful personal stories of success and failure, including the lessons he took away and how he continues to apply them today.  One of my favorite stories was about the day he decided to raise his prices and was convinced that his potential customer would never pay $350,000, for a project he would have sold at $199,000 just one week earlier.  Listen to hear how that story turned out!

Jim is also an industry expert in building and remodeling.  He related a fabulous story that you can adapt to your business where he helped his client turn handymen into profit centers! Listen here.
