So, this logic may not make sense to anyone else but me, but here goes...
So, the Stones led me to think about this upcoming Summer. The connection as a result of my normal convoluted thinking was to remember the big hit summer song, "Dancing in the Streets" by Martha & the Vandellas, since its release date matched the first time that I saw the Stones in concert.
No complaints from me about any of this especially since I and everyone in Sales should be approaching all of these networking events, both business and social, as sales opportunities. Opportunities to not only have a bit of fun, but also be able to "work the room" in a manner that's comfortable to you and matches your own personal style of networking.
Which is exactly why we created this 15 minute presentation last June on Jack's 10 Rules of Networking. I just listened to it again, and other than my normal criticism of myself in that maybe I could talk quicker and make the presentation shorter, I'm pretty convinced that if you were to follow most of these rules, you would end the summer with a lot more new sales opportunities.
Hope you're having a good week. Now let's get out there and sell some stuff!
During our upcoming 2013 Sales Management Boot Camp, we'll talk about networking, but, most importantly, we will drive down into the details of Sales Enablement along with other strategies, tools such as Value Propositions and a wide variety of other tactics.
