The Coronavirus Obligatory Shameless Plug

Are you in sales and having a hard time working due to the lockdown? Have you stumbled through your first Zoom meeting? Are you bored yet? Well, I don't have a panacea but I can make a small suggestion.

As a sales professional who is also trying to wrap my head around this whole new way of marketing, I've discovered that it's quite the learning process and the learning curve is a long one. Hell, there are sales people throwing their hands into the air and either giving up or waiting on the sidelines for the virus to pass. But I'm not going out that easy and I'll take advantage of the down time to learn, market and get my pipeline full.

One of ways you can make your time useful is to get a copy of my book, "You're Going To Be Great At This!" It's a sarcastic and humorous look at sales with a few valuable sales lessons sprinkled in.


Isn't it a coincidence that the book and this blog have the same name? Actually, the book was the inspiration for the blog. I actually had several people ask me when the next book was coming out and I that this blog would help me develop new material if there was going to be a "next book".

Something else happened as a result of the book. A friend of mine, who shall remain anonymous, suggested I give a talk based off of the book to a local group of new realtors. I invested a few hours into a training session that could be "generic" for a general sales organization, or be tailored for a specific company or industry. Those years of Toastmasters finally paid off!


If you are reading this blog but haven't read my book, please check it out. And you may even learn something new about sales between all of the fits of laughter.

Changing My Scheduling Calendar For 2025

This blog usually has actionable sales tips and advice to help you succeed in your business. This time, I wanted to take a look at another part of your business, which is scheduling appointments or sales calls or whatever you need to schedule.  Having a scheduling calendar that your prospects can make your job so much easier. Instead of calling back and forth to pin a time to meet down, you can let your prospect/client pick their own time. According to FinancesOnline.com, online scheduling can lead to 26% more customers, so sharing your calendar is a real no-brainer. I have a Google calendar that I use to book appointments, but I have also been using Calendly and sharing it on my website and social media. The two calendars are supposed to sync up to avoid double bookings, but recently I discovered an issue.  I had blocked out a couple of days on my Google calendar for a business conference, but Calendly was still showing those days as available. After trying to find a way to f...

Introducing the "You're Going To Be Great At This!" Podcast

I was pretty surprised when I saw that my last blog post was several months ago. Time really does fly when you're having fun, or in my case, just having a busy workload. In the last few months I've been on the road for an approximate total of 9 weeks. Needless to say I get less than motivated to work in a hotel room after selling insurance for 8 hours, so blogging isn't on my "to do" list. While driving in my car during these trips I try to make my time productive my listening to podcasts on business and marketing. I'm not sure if someone was trying to tell me something but over the course of a week or so, I heard 4 episodes on how starting a podcast can help boost your business. After mulling this over and considering my options, I decided to take the plunge and start one myself. I've had a YouTube channel for a while which is fine, but I wanted to do something a little different. So I decided to start the "You're Going To Be Great At This!"...

Paying The Mentor Forward

Many of us who have been in sales and marketing for a while have been fortunate to have someone mentor us early on in our careers. The best mentors help us negotiate the potential roadblocks that could keep us from sales success. We lean on them because if we can learn from their mistakes, we won't make as many of our own. As I have said in the past, a good mentor should have no financial connection to your business. I'm not saying they can't, but the best possible scenario is one in which their income doesn't depend on your production, like a manager. And although they may be a good mentor, it's not ideal. When I first got into  door-to-door  selling insurance I didn't know what a mentor was. But there was a kindly older man who felt bad for me and the rest of our sales crew. He'd always say something like, "You're doin' good! Hang in there!"  This guy had been with the company for decades and was actually successful, despite a horrible st...
