By ronkarr.Admin | January 12, 2017 |

As a sales and leadership expert, I have worked with sales executives that want to outsell their competition, but if you are still focusing on transactional conversations, you will never achieve this goal. It’s not about competing its about creating a better outcome. The only way to achieve this is to have an enterprise conversation versus a transactional conversation. Watch this video to learn how YOU can outsell your competition.

Getting Workers Off of Cell Phones

By ronkarr.Admin | January 10, 2017 |

As a sales and leadership expert, I often find that leaders and managers are focused on the symptoms, not the underlying condition. They obsess over common workplace problems, but underneath those problems is the issue of a lack of motivation.

VIDEO: Using Enterprise Conversations To Lessen The Impact Of Price

By ronkarr.Admin | January 5, 2017 |

As a sales and leadership expert, I have worked with sales executives on having  enterprise conversations with their customers.  Enterprise conversations go way beyond price.  The enterprise conversation is about how much money and time one will  save over the lifetime of a product.   It is about gaining better utilization, efficiency and overall results.  If you have the right enterprise conversation, the price of your product/service will often be the last thing you talk about.  Watch this video to see how to have an effective enterprise conversation.

How You CAN Easily Change People’s Reactions!

By ronkarr.Admin | January 3, 2017 |

As a sales and leadership expert, I have discovered that people often feel powerless over people’s reactions—and that is simply not the case! When we find ourselves stuck in the same place in our conversations, getting the same results, our first reaction is often to blame outside circumstances—the things beyond our control, which is usually the people we’re talking to. To turn the tables and IMPACT others who are critical to our success, we need to understand how to change the conversation to achieve better results. We need to embrace our ability to IMPACT the outcome.
