Burnt orange, yellow and red fill the canvas as the man creates a new landscape scene similar to those of the famous painter, Thomas Kinkade. Secluded in the corner of his office, the man works lively and with near-professional skill. As the painter’s brush cascades the woven fabric, a scene of a sunrise with a lonely cottage fills the frame. This man, whose many paintings have been sold at the nearest crafts store, gathered by friends and family, and displayed in his home, would not cross anyone’s mind when asked who the artist of the painting was. This man was my grandfather.

Back in 2005, my little red Celica gave up the ghost. I loved that car, but after 178,000 miles in four years, it was time to get a new vehicle. Since it had been such a great car, I decided to simply get a new one. I walked into the Toyota dealership ready to buy. It was then that my nightmare began. Here’s what I learned:
1) Poor greetings anger the customer. I walked straight into the dealership, dressed nicely, with checkbook in hand. No one greeted me. Several salesmen avoided eye contact. I finally went to the sales manager’s desk (positioned to overlook the whole showroom like a prison guard) and he told me to wait, that someone would be with me in a minute and returned to his phone call. Hello! Show some enthusiasm, salespeople! I’m about to make a major purchase and you don’t seem to give a damn! Was it because I was a woman with no man to help poor little ‘ol me buy a car? Or was it because they didn’t know how to greet anyone? We’ll never know.

Finding the right training provider can be a daunting task, one that takes time and energy, one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Of course there are some easy options, such as “just go with the one you know”, or pick someone whose ad you saw recently, but in this day and age when you may actually have to account for your training dollars and prove your ROI, it’s probably worth your time making sure you get the best for the job.
So how do you start? Well, let’s say you know that the guys at the sales department need to freshen up on their skills, the numbers are not as pretty as last year, and the sales manager wants something done quick. So is your next step typing in “sales training” on Google? Hardly.
Many entrepreneurs view the task of selling their ideas, products and services as an undesirable necessity. Some are fearful at the prospect of calling and visiting others in the hopes of growing their business. The Web is full of articles and stories documenting their disdain for selling. Sales is neither a job that they typically enjoy nor one for which they are particularly skilled and well-prepared for. What is to be done? Who is going to do the selling?
Who Is Steve Clark and Why Should You Listen To Him
Steve, of Sales Training in Pensacola, is a scrapper and an over comer. Early in his sales career he struggled financially, was dead broke, had his water cut off for lack of payment, was almost bankrupt and has been sued by a competitor who tried to put him out of business.
