		<description><![CDATA[In my first sales job, I visited over 100 potential customers a week.  Every time I walked into a company and asked to see the person who could make a decision to buy the kind of product I was selling, I did so with trepidation.  Each time, it became harder and more nerve wracking.

		<description><![CDATA[I got my first college degree in 1955, with a major in Industrial Sales.  They were calling it Scientific Selling back then, which is just another form of needs based selling.  The &#8220;science&#8221; was from a real scientific study of how most people make buying decisions.  The result of that study was a simple buying <a href='http://highprobabilityselling.com/2012/03/06/how-scientific-is-scientific-selling/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The belief that &#8220;all buyers are liars&#8221; is a trap.  It sets up the salesperson for failure. &#8220;All buyers are liars&#8221; is also a self-perpetuating belief that makes itself true, once you’ve fallen for it.  The belief makes you do things that sabotage trust.  Salespeople who exaggerate the benefits and ignore the negatives can’t be <a href='http://highprobabilityselling.com/2012/02/20/the-all-buyers-are-liars-trap/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On an evening in 1980, I was standing at the bar talking with Jo Anne Astrow, one of the owners of the Improv Comedy Club in West Hollywood.  As usual, the club was packed with a large spirited crowd, including several well-known entertainers.  Robin Williams came up and said “Hey, Jo” and gave her a hug.  Jo Anne said, “Meet my cousin Jacques.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, I answered the phone and a man said “I hate cold-calling.” I said, “I’ve heard that from hundreds of salespeople. What about warm-calling?” “Warm-calling, what’s that?” he asked. I asked, “What’s your name and what do you sell?” Ten minutes later, I knew Robert was calling lab managers, at myriad different types <a href='http://highprobabilityselling.com/2011/12/28/what%e2%80%99s-right-with-warm-calling/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Top sales producers (the top 2%) are typically ambitious, highly intelligent and pragmatic.  Most will use any available technology that enables them to sell more and better.  Top producers seldom use CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems because their own sales processes are different from the sales process that is installed in the SFA (Sales Force Automation) part of the system.  ]]></description>
