The Power of The Mastermind

Have you ever really participated in a mastermind session? If not, you should.

I’ve been blessed to be involved in several with some brilliant minds and had the opportunity last week to be in one with Mark Victor Hansen, his lovely wife Crystal and about 16 other people. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sit around in an intimate setting and talk to a man who has sold a a half-billion books and is generally regarded as one of the greatest philantropists and speakers our time.

What Social Selling Is NOT!

One of the biggest buzz words/phrases to hit professional sales in years is social selling. While many believe they know what it means, I find many to be a bit confused.

Instead of defining what social selling is, why don’t we take a moment and see what is is not:

Social selling is not autopilot: It is not designed for you to put all your sales efforts on auto and move along with your marketing efforts. Inbound marketing, social selling—all of those things still require you to interact with, understand and solve a need or want for your customer.

Social selling is not a salesperson: I had a sales manager many years ago call it b2b: belly-to-belly. While you may not meet every customer face-to-face, social selling will not replace the interaction of a professional salesperson.
