Most salespeople today are intuitive and have never learned the steps of selling or see the importance in using them. Because of this, most are dealing with three problems… 1st problem – A rep with little to no awareness of the steps of a sales call will likely do all the talking. 2nd problem – Reps doing all the talking means they’re also not asking enough buyer questions to discover needs and available opportunities. 3rd problem - If a rep doesn’t understand the steps of a sales call, does ...

Most reps are good at selling to someone just like them…with the same likes and dislikes. Are your team members equally skilled at selling to buyers with completely opposite personalities? A goal of sales training today is to help salespeople understand the personality differences that exist in buyers and how they compare (or contrast) to the salesperson. One of the great structures we can use to define the differences between people is to ask, which side of the fence are you on? Are yo...

Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking the results show the importance of the guardrails they implemented – having a single inflation-busting mandate and the change to voting to

Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell says most private sector forecasts were similar to the RBNZ's incorrect predictions. He says that doesn't entirely absolve the bank. "The difference, of course, is that the private sector forecasters weren't

A tax expert believes Labour's changed stance on interest deductibility makes complete sense. Labour's confirmed it won't change the current Government's rules allowing landlords to deduct 100% of interest in tax returns. It had previously criticised the policy as a tax cut for landlords, but Chris Hipkins believes their proposed Capital Gains Tax will address the issue. Deloitte Tax Partner Robin Walker told Ryan Bridge changing the rules would just be deferring when interest deductions get made
