Better Relationships, Communication, Rapport & Loyalty = Better Sales - with Frank Somma
My guest today focuses on why some salespeople do it better than others - why some languish, while others seem to outperform everyone else, naturally. When he began to sell professionally and eventually manage salespeople, he became obsessed with learning the answer to this. His lifelong pursuit of understanding "The Sales Gene" was born. His sales chops were developed in his first B2B sales job at Western Union Telegraph where he made President's club in his very first year. His sales leadership expertise was developed during his long tenure as VP of sales for CBS, an office automation company in New York. He holds a degree in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and he has been speaking professionally for over 15 years, winning accolades from such notable companies as DLL Bank, GE, Xerox, and K Hovnanian.

Objective Based Selling - with Tibor Shanto
My guest today started in B2B sales in the 1980's, around the same time fax machines were the height of communications. He started off on the phone, and has held almost every possible role in sales over the years. He works with companies of all sizes, helping them improve and achieve their revenue goals. People have labeled him "a brilliant sales tactician", which is fine by him, as he truly believes that success in sales is all about Execution! Everything else is just talk; and "apparently" there is no shortage of "talk" according to him in sales. :-) This is why his work is focused on helping sales teams and organizations better execute their sales process. With a laser focus on metrics and process, he helps clients improve critical aspects of their sales cycle, including: aligning the buyer process, removing redundancies to shorten their cycles, increasing close ratios, and creating double digit growth through the execution of strategy and through tactical execution. He also helps improve adoption, and by extension, the behavioral change required for ongoing improvement in execution and results.
