Back to School

It is September and the kids are all heading back to school. One of my old bosses who has been retired for many years is heading back to University for a law degree (It is his second degree since retiring).

In my travels working with sales teams it is always interesting to me the number of times a sales leader tells me that one of their top reps is not interested in learning anything new.… Read More

Taking Stock

There is a lot of “stuff” going on in the world this summer. If you took all that “stuff” seriously you would become anxious and agitated – and many people are. I have come to learn that it is important on a regular basis to take stock of what is going on in your personal life and in your business life.

Time to THINK!

When was the last time you took some time to just THINK?

I mean taking time to reflect, contemplate and “noodle” issues and ideas you have. Some people go for a walk, some sit quietly and others will stand at a window and look out to the distance.

What drives you to “Success” each day

I have noticed in the past year that a lot of people I speak with in corporate jobs are not having a lot of fun. Too many pressures and endless deadlines. Too many hours or wasted time on what appear to be useless activities.… Read More

What is the reason for this call?

When you are going on a sales call, when you are making a phone call, when you are sending an e-mail – I always ask sales people: Why are you going on that sales call? Why are you phoning? Why are you sending that e-mail?… Read More

How Do You Brand Your Self?

The sales game today is played much differently than it has been in the past. One of the big changes is the technology and how it affects your business. One of the questions I ask sales people is – How does a prospect find you online and when they do find you what do they discover?… Read More

Return on your Investment

What do you invest in…

We all invest our time, money, emotion and intellect each day. My challenge and yours each day is: Where are you going to invest today.

As sales people we invest our time in clients and prospects.… Read More

Gratitude …………………….

It is Christmas and the Holiday season. This is the time of year we seem to look back and reflect on the year past and plan and ponder the year ahead. I believe that we all need to take time now, and all year long, and when you are looking at the week or month you have just had – to be grateful for all that has happened and for all that you have.… Read More

The relationships you have ……………..

Next Friday I am going to be at the 36th Annual Christmas luncheon with the guys I went to University with. We have stayed in touch for all that time and we have all attended this event year after year. We behave like 19 year olds when we get together.… Read More

Lead by Example

You get what you lead by ……………….

Over the years I have had the chance to work for some wonderful leaders and sadly, more often than not, have worked for some terrible leaders. You get the results you get based on your leadership style.… Read More

Perfect timing!?I was thinking of you lately. I believe I've put some of your methods to good use in my business. I feel much more organized and attribute some of that to you! It's that funnel and forecast information that works for me. I always need to know who I'll be helping (selling) to in the next few months!

Bill Sayers brings to the table a seasoned sales leadership skill honed over many years of "in the trenches" sales experience. He can walk the talk. He is able to communicate, to both new sales professionals and those with years of experience, exactly what they need to be focusing on today.

What most impressed me about Bill Sayers was his ability to adapt to everyone’s unique sales experience. His coaching techniques offered comments and suggestions that were pertinent to each individual.

Personally, this program kept me focused and the session on sales forecast and funnel was a real eye opener.

I look forward to building a successful business and keeping it that way. Thanks Bill!"

Bill’s presentation was excellent. Its content was quite appropriate, and interesting to everyone who attended. Although many of those who attended have a fair amount of experience in making presentations, everyone came away from the event with something Bill said that had struck them as useful, that they would incorporate in future presentations. Bill’s speaking style is professional and engaging, he has lots of energy, and he made a great connection with his audience. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Bill is a great sales leader, his knowledge is powerful and his enthusiasm is contagious. I respect his straightforwardness, but most of all his desire to please customers.

Bill has a great ability to motivate and lead his staff, and encourage his colleagues. He deals with issues openly, and aims for positive outcomes. Bill ensures that actions are well documented and, most important, are followed-up. His dynamic personality also ensures that the work environment is both productive and fun!

I had the chance to participate in a Sales seminar organized by Bill in February 2003. Bill is a very dynamic leader, especially during brain storming sessions. Following the brain storming sessions, Bill demonstrated an uncanny ability at organizing into meaningful information the raw data he had collected from participants.

C.P.

An excellent understanding of business practices. Understanding sales cycles, account management with focus on client relationships. Broad range of experience, knowledge of sales, management and negotiations skills of win-win scenarios. Superior knowledge in supporting and team building. Leadership is one of his strong qualities.

Whether you are a newbie to sales, or a seasoned veteran who has seen and done it all, the Bill Sayers' Sales Coaching program is one you’ll want to take. The interactive method, with participants from a diverse cross-section of industries, presents a rich learning opportunity for every sales professional who is truly interested in learning new skills or re-honing skills once used but perhaps now ignored. After 16 years in sales and sales management, Bill’s refreshing direct and to the point style, allowed me to re-focus myself on the things we all need to be doing to be at our peak performance in the sales game.
