The Unexpected Business Strategy: DANCING... Lead to explosive growth. For the past five years, Stuart (a store associate at TAU) and I have turned our business relationship into something extraordinary. Stuart took over (and began managing) our account 3 years ago, Since then, every week, I personally hand-deliver his Mid-Day Squares order. But there's a twist— We always have a dance-off in the grocery aisles! This isn't just a quirky ritual; it's the cornerstone of our friendship. We decided to treat business as a friendship first and a transaction second. This approach has exploded our sales at Les Marches TAU. Customers know us as the "Dynamic Duo" or the "Great Duo," eagerly anticipating our weekly dance. The joy and camaraderie we share have made work energizing and engaging. We've realized that by focusing on building genuine relationships, we've not only had more fun but also seen a remarkable increase in sales. The moral of the story? When you invest in real friendships in business, the results are profound. You enjoy the journey, create lasting memories, and yes, you sell more products as a byproduct. Let's make business less about transactions and more about building meaningful connections. Because when you do, everyone wins. LFG!!! #retail #grocery #sales #chocolate #canada #smallbusiness #cpg

Co working spaces are evolving! I’ve tried a lot of them but always found the same experience. Coffee and snacks are great but there was no collaboration, networking, or fun conversations. People showed up but everyone just put on their headphones and sat quietly. I went from feeling isolated at home to feeling isolated in a public environment. Vince Beese reaching out and explaining how Sales HQ is different struck a cord immediately. “Imagine a Co Working space where people are learning, collaborating, and growing to be more productive, have better work results, and building your network with like minded individuals” In my first month, I’ve met other account executives, CEO’s, and CRO’s from different start ups. I’ve learned new and better ways to serve clients and my career. I've built a daily routine to keep me focused throughout the day and eliminate the distractions (getting out of the house was BIG for this). That feeling that you made the right choice that is validated daily is a powerful thing. Anyone in the Raleigh-Durham, RTP area that wants to see what Sales HQ is about. Come check it out for a free day. Yes we have free coffee and snacks here too! #sales #coworking #raleigh #durham #startups P.S. This isn't just for sales people, it's for anyone that works remote that wants to get out the bad habits from working at home and be part of a community!

💥 🔥 Sales HQ is hosting a free week for all Raleigh-Durham sales people 👀 👀 Most sales friends that I speak with tell me the same things, WFH is fun at times but they're missing out on the energy, collaboration, and just feeling burnt out being in the apt/house ALL DAY. I felt the same way and then some. Productivity was down, felt isolated being new to the Raleigh area, and my biggest fear of not growing by learning from people smarter than me was kicking in. Sales HQ changed all of that in the two months since i joined! CEOs of new startups, CROs & VP of Sales, AEs, and other customer facing people come in here every day to work, collaborate, and share knowledge. Highly recommend if any this resonates with you to come in this week and find out for yourself. Vince Beese is hosting a MasterClass lunch and learn tomorrow 5/21 at noon "Negotiating with backbone". Networking and Pizza might be hard to pass up. P.S. I don't work for Sales HQ, I just believe in Vince Beese's vision for a better way of co-working. The way I thought it should be.

Saw this today from Chris Williamson and it struck a chord. Over the last few months I have had several conversations with sales leaders regarding incentive structures & KPIs - why they do or do not work, what they might look like if relevant and how to implement. This reminds me of Flight Centre Travel Group's philosophy regarding incentives: "What get's rewarded, gets done". Sales leaders need to ensure that incentives are clearly aligned with behaviour and outcomes, otherwise it becomes a minefield that can break a business.

First of all happy new year. May 2024 be a great year giving you everything you work towards :) We were privileged to be on Sydney Harbour watching the fireworks right opposite the Sydney Opera House - courtesy of a good friend who has a yacht :) Fulfilled one of Barbara's dreams :) Quite spectacular! So on to this year's mantra. Do a job, get a job! It’s a great mantra shared by a colleague, Lauren Jones. Put simply, every time you deliver a piece of work for a client think about what else you could do for them. If there’s nothing obvious, could they refer you on? And the converse is true. Could you refer someone to them? When working with clients who have delivery teams we stress the importance of just keeping your eyes open. Having conversations. Putting 2 and 2 together to see if there are opportunities. There are often far more than you think. You just need keep your eyes and ears open and when you spot something, mention it. Ask the question. Is this something that’s important to fix. And if so, make a recommendation. Realise that it takes 7 to 10 times more money, time and effort to get a new client than to keep selling to them. Ongoing sales is where the real profit is. If you’d like to figure out the average lifetime value of a client we have a handy calculator. Plug in your numbers and you’ll be frankly amazed at what a client could be worth if you kept adding value. The calculator is here.https://https://lnkd.in/g2a46mg #businessgrowth #sales

'm at one of those destination locations so out of the way to get to, you know, ski lodge. I'm sitting there thinking, how do they make their cash because I'm on vacation and thinking about business. I know how they make their cash, annual ski memberships. I don't have an annual this year but I'm here and I'm enjoying it right now. It's lovely. What would be a better time to sell a season pass than when you've got a captured audience when you sit down at a restaurant? It struck me, airlines will have flight attendants sell credit card transactions and yet ski slopes never ever once hit up the people when they're at the peak of their excitement to do the most profitable thing which is just sign up for their annual ski pass. Missed opportunities everywhere. Love this place. Interesting update. I went to look at the booth. That's where they have salespeople to sell tickets. I was just kind of curious since they weren’t selling them at the restaurant. So I went over there and I said, “Hey, I'm really enjoying my time today. I think I'm gonna hit this up tomorrow”. She goes, “Oh, no, we can't sell you tomorrow's ticket. You have to go online.” So it went from a missed opportunity to an anti sales department. Do you have the anti sales department working for you? You might want to get on top of that. #sales #antisales #business #businessconsulting #profitable
