Pain Is Temporary - Lance Armstrong

_____



"Pain is temporary.
Quitting lasts forever."

Lance Armstrong (1971 - )
U.S. cyclist, 7-time winner
of the Tour de France
cancer survivor


sales moral:
be tenacious

sales lesson:
Losing a deal to a low-cost provider can sometimes be more valuable in the long run.

When the lowest-priced product or service doesn't meet the expectations of a customer, a deeper appreciation of the price/ value relationship is developed. This can create a new sales opportunity from what was initially lost - an opportunity for a much stronger business relationship than otherwise may have existed.

sales check:
are you giving your team something to believe in?
what about your customers?

sales challenges:
Over the next four weeks, invest some time (outside the money hours) in creating a deliberate plan to help your team (consistently) embrace the purpose and vision of your organization, and understand how they are the key drivers to its success. If you do not lead the team by title, suggest the idea to your manager (or lead by example).

Once that plan is in place, invest some time in considering how you might do the same with your customers. What plan could you put in place that would create a consistent and true level of enthusiasm about your company and its products/ services?

Think "how you can" before raising the challenges.

"Failure is only an opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

Henry Ford (1863-1947)
American industrialist, inventor


sales check:
when did you last risk failure?


sales thought:
Always seeking certainty before taking action can severely limit productivity. In fact, in many cases, the evaluation and search for certainty is more costly than a potential failure due to action. Worst-case scenario for a wrong move is generally nothing more than an education.

sales quiz:
how fast are iTunes selling?

sales answer:
Around 2a.m. EST on February 23, 2006, more than 1 million iTunes were sold in just seconds as the site's download counter neared the 1 billion mark. One lucky iTunes fan in Detroit scored the 1 billionth tune (Coldplay's "Speed of Sound"), along with an iMac, 10 iPods, and a $10,000 iTunes gift card -- plus, Apple established a 4-year scholarship to The Julliard School of Music in his name.

On iTunes one-year anniversary on April 28, 2004, Apple reported more than 70 million songs downloaded at a rate of 2.7 million songs per week. By late January 2005, iTunes had hit a quarter of a billion downloads. Then less than six months later, Apple announced that customers had downloaded more than 500 million songs.

In its first week, iTunes sold one million songs. Half of those songs were purchased as albums, and more than half of the 200,000 songs available were purchased at least once.
