I received the following email from a previous coaching client of mine (Rino Racanelli). His email boils down my sales philosophy, and it shows how much success you can have if you follow just a couple of proven principles. I’m reprinting it below—word for word. The subject line was: “I took your advice”: Hi Mike, […]
If you manage an inside sales team, or if you’re an individual producer, then I’m sure you’d love to learn of an easy way to double your sales this year. Think about what that would mean for your company! You’d be able to expand and grow and hire a larger team that would allow you […]
Congrats to those companies & individuals who sent in their prospecting scripts for review. I received many scripts and went ahead and reviewed ten (instead of just the three). One error I kept seeing was reps’ mishandling asking for the right person when they didn’t know the right contact’s name. Usually, they asked it this […]
By now, I hope you have all been incorporating your prospect’s name in your email subject lines.

Success in sales is easy—if you’re using the right messaging. Unfortunately, many companies and reps still insist on winging it—and that makes your day-to-day jobs harder, and it leads to hit and miss success.

Several companies have already taken advantage of my award winning On-Demand Inside Sales Training program, and to help other companies (and individuals) take advantage of this comprehensive training, I’m extending the 50% off sale through the end of January! If you are ready to help your team succeed and finally make your new revenue numbers, […]
A couple of weeks ago, I suggested to my readers that you write down an income number you’re going to achieve in 2022. Some people have told me it’s hard to get themselves to believe in such a big number, and they just tune out of the whole exercise as a result. Here’s a tip: […]
Has your mind moved toward January yet? It should have. 2022 will be here before you finish that last piece of pumpkin pie over the holidays… If you haven’t done so yet, you should do this immediately: Decide on the exact amount of money you’re going to make next year. Write it down on three […]
