Marcus Cauchi - Click Here To Read Marcus's Articles - Marcus Cauchi is London's first licensed
Sandler sales trainer. 19 years in direct
sales, he's sold physical products,
services and intangibles with varied
success. Over 16 years he left behind over
£56 million in deals he could have won,
but did because he didn't know any
better. He thought you had to qualify for
needs, present the benefits of your
solution, trial close, follow up with a
proposal or further information and the
close. He learned the hard way that when
you "pitch" a prospect lies to protect
himself. When you present and answer his
questions, he'll steal your ideas. When
you close, he'll mislead you or defer to
a higher authority (boss, wife, CFO) and
then when he's got you to document in
writing (proposals) and give away your
confidential pricing, he'll shop that
around your competitors to get the best
deal. When you follow up for a decision,
he'll give you unlimited access to his
voicemail and hide. Marcus teaches
counter intuitive selling. Average clients
increase revenues by 100-1100% in a year.
He's probably not for you though as it's
difficult and expensive.

marketing experience mainly in Canada and

successful national sales team. He's lead
two training departments with large sales
organizations. Clayton operated two small

the demands placed on salespeople today.
Clayton is passionate about performance
excellence, and big on sales and service
delivery, that’s what it’s all about.
Without these two elements companies don’t
make money. Perhaps his biggest ah ha in

Rene Zamora - Click Here To Read Rene's Articles - My name is Rene Zamora and I am the
President of Sales Manager Now. The
concept of bringing professional sales
management services to small businesses
evolved through my own professional
experience. Twenty seven years of sales
and sales management experience combined
with a training and consulting
practice(www.renezamora.net) birthed Sales
Manager Now.
The vision was two fold. First, make it
possible for professional sales managers
like myself to work with small business
and escape the corporate environment.
Secondly, bring high level sales
management to progressive small businesses
at an affordable fee. When I say sales
management, that is what I mean, I become
the company sales manager or advisor.
The most significant reason I work with
small businesses is I enjoy being part of
the team. I enjoy rolling up my sleeves
and being part of a business struggles and
successes. I work on the Jerry McGuire
philosophy, less clients with more
personal attention.
I wish you the best,
Rene Zamora

uk in
2008 following a successful
and fulfilling career of 26 years
in IT Sales and Sales
Management.
As a former Executive
Sales and Marketing Director of an
SME IT services company, I
have extensive experience in
business, sales team and
personnel development and understand
the challenges faced
by sales professionals
and management in today's demanding
market.
Having had
responsibility for sales budgets in
excess of £4.5m gross margin,
strategic planning,training and
development of sales teams I fully
understand the stresses and
strains experienced by Sales
Executives and Managers.
I have total empathy with
Sales Executives striving to achieve
targets, Sales Managers struggling to
deliver consistent performance and Chief
Executives frustrated by
lacklustre growth.
I believe that the new paradigm of
managing is not telling or directing
employees, but guiding and enabling
answers from individuals.
Managers who wish to free
themselves from the time consuming aspect
of day-to-day management of process and
performance can adopt a
coaching style to help
their people to access their own
inner resources, to increase their
confidence and achieve their tasks
and targets.

Here is a recent testimonial:
Hi Bob!
Hope you're well, and had a good journey
home from Wakefield yesterday.
Thank you for a most enjoyable day. After
spending 11 years with TNT and attending
hundreds, yes hundreds of Sales Seminars,
training courses, conferences etc. I
really didn't believe you when you said at
the beginning of the day that we would be
learning something different.
So I was pleasantly pleased when I did
learn something different, how to approach
a situation differently and the day did
fly by.
Thought you might be interested to know
that I have put the techniques into
practise today, whilst I have been in the
office. I have had a most successful day
gaining 2 accounts and generating 14
appointments for my diary next week, which
I am really chuffed about.
If at all possible would you please email
me the telephone script you mentioned
during the day, I would be most interested
to put it to the test.
Thank you
Paula Millson
That pretty much says all there is to say,
doesn't it!

I've appeared on numerous radio shows and
am a regular teleseminar guest speaker. My
articles are published regularly on
countless sites on the Web as well as in
offline magazines such as Sales & Service
Excellence and Choice Magazine.
I got my first sales job was via the
Yellow Pages! I was working in South
Africa for a computer company. I wanted to
move into sales and my company said no. So
I got out the Yellow Pages, looked up
computer companies, and started ringing
them and asking to speak to the CEOs.
When I got to the S's I actually got
through to a CEO. He hired me within 30
minutes of being interviewed.
I have 20+ years of successful experience
in selling. The sales I have made have
ranged from a few hundred dollars to over
US$10 million. The biggest compliment I
receive is that I do not act like or seem
like a salesperson. Selling is not about
selling. It is about being a facilitator
and helping people solve their problems.

James Gracey (Premium Author) - Click Here To Read James's Articles - I started my selling career as a sales
assistant in my fathers' toy shop at the
age of 15. It was there that I was first
exposed to the relationship between
emotion, buying and selling. In my 25 year
sales career it has always struck me as
strange that the profession of selling had
no best practice process that governed
selling activity. All other professions
have disciplines and codes of conduct that
qualify individuals to practice that
profession. The daily activities of
salespeople though, tend to be
unstructured and opportunistic. In the
1990’s I started researching the
relationship between professional sales
activity and the emotional interaction
between buyer and seller. I then applied
the IT process control experience I have.
The result is a framework (PPSS
methodology) that brings together:
> A sales process (industry and product
agnostic) that manages the progress of
sales opportunities.
> Mapped to the process – Professional
sales behavior and activities.
> Models that will align selling skills of
the corporate sales force to business
process and corporate strategy.
I have also developed workshops and
training courses: Refer to

Scott Smeester - Click Here To Read Scott's Articles - I rejoice when I have the opportunity to
work with a professional consultant who
asks me tons of good questions to
understand my needs, who refrains from
telling me about THEIR company or THEIR
product or service, who patiently arrives
at a solution and makes me feel good about
buying what they have. I'm talking about
the consultant who is only looking for
somebody they can truly help - NOT the
person who has the "gift of gab" or the
one who can "sell anything".
I've been in professional sales and
marketing organizations specializing in
emerging Internet based products and
technologies since 1995. My mission is to
help small and start-up companies create
stable cash flow streams by solving sales
and business development related problems.

Michael Luckman - Click Here To Read Michael's Articles - Michael has been involved in sales,
marketing and sales training for over 39
years, with companies such as Milton
Bradley, Playskool, Gund and for many
years his own award winning sales and
marketing firm, Michael Luckman and
Associates. His experience runs the gamut
from consumer product sales to national
retail chains, on up to seven-figure
management consulting projects to the
Global 1000. In 1975, as Director of
Marketing for National Semiconductor, he
brought to market the first electronic
toy, the “Quiz Kid,” creating not only
that years #1 toy, but an entirely new
industry.
Early in his career Michael was a senior
buyer for Toys R Us. It was in this
capacity that he realized that not all
sales people were created equal. The truly
professional had a system that they
followed to control the selling process.
The majority though, had no system, and
soon defaulted to the buyers, and dropping
the price was always a part of that
system. When he went back into sales he
vowed to be a professional, but it wasn’t
until he discovered the Sandler Sales
Institute and its non-traditional sales
methodologies, that he realized what a
truly professional sales system looked
like.

Mary Brand - Click Here To Read Mary's Articles - Although some people may not think of
teaching school as a sales position, I
felt that for fourteen years I was selling
myself to the parents and administrators
and doing a great job of it. As with any
job, you are constantly selling yourself
in order to get the best results from your
efforts. It is that realization that
inspired me to go directly into the field
of sales to see if I was correct that my
previous experiences would facilitate
sales success. Since moving into the
field over 6 years ago, I feel that I have
indeed used many of my teaching/er
experiences to close sales and have also
honed many new skills so that I am not
only an asset to our company, but an
integral link in the chain that holds our
business together. I feel fortunate to
be able to share some of my expertise with
our forum and hope to get to know our

Dave Peck - Click Here To Read Dave's Articles - My name is Dave Peck. I have been training
people how to sell for nearly 20 years.
From securities to sectionals, fine art to
fine dining and many more services and
products to name, I was told early on to
sell everything you need. And although
this sounds like liquidation, it actually
made sense to me right away. What better
way to learn about products and services I
am going to need than to sell them. Not to
mention the discounts that often came with
being employed in certain industries.
ThisIsSelling.com provides anyone in sales
an opportunity to become educated and
motivated. We offer PowerPoint modules to
teach sales people that the process
revolves around them. Not the customer,
the company, the commission or the sale.
Any one in sales can find information that
will help them better serve their
customers, increase their profitability
and most importantly feel they are making
a difference in people lives no matter
what they sell.

Par Hansson - Click Here To Read Par's Articles - For exactly 17 years ago I wrote on the
Internet about how I felt about sales and
marketing. ( Swedish is my language ) It
was new and the site was very popular and
the visitors appreciated
what
I wrote. I was a young salesman who worked
for a certain type of goals. Today 17
years later Im working as a CEO and can
look back and se that many have been
achieved. The starting point was actually
when a member of our family lost his
job,and i started picking up material to
try to encourage him.
To my
surprise, absolutely nothing has change
from 1991 and 2008. Downturn and financial
crisis is something that affects us big.
Banks learned nothing, but we as people
have come to learn and hopefully we can
handle things better this time. There are
ways to get out of this as a winner, once
again
But we have a
responsibility to tell that to the younger
generation and i intend to do my part Hope
it can do any good.

Michael Luckman - Click Here To Read Michael's Articles - Michael has been involved in sales,
marketing and training for over 39 years,
with companies such as Milton Bradley,
Playskool, Gund and for many years his own
award winning sales and marketing firm,
Michael Luckman and Associates. His
experience runs the gamut from consumer
product sales to national retail chains,
on up to seven-figure management
consulting projects to the Global 1000. In
1975, as Director of Marketing for
National Semiconductor, he brought to
market the first electronic toy, the “Quiz
Kid,” creating not only that years #1 toy,
but an entirely new industry.
Early in his career Michael was one of
five senior buyers for Toys R Us. It was
in this capacity that he realized that not
all sales people were created equal. The
truly professional had a system that they
followed to control the selling process.
The majority though, had no system, and
soon defaulted to the buyers, and dropping
the price was always a part of that
system. When he went back into sales he
vowed to be a professional, but it wasn’t
until he discovered the Sandler Sales
Institute and its non-traditional sales
methodologies, that he realized what a
truly professional sales system looked
like.

training and his sales management
experience together to build measurable,
consistent sales processes for his
clients. As CEO of web based contact
management company, SalesNexus.com, Craig
works with small startups and Fortune

mis-allocated sales time.
Craig has developed lead acquisition and
