I used to wonder why I could sell. I could never understand why what was somewhat easy for me, was difficult for other people. As I moved into management and became responsible for not only my success, but their success as well, it all came to a head. How in the world could I—who had no idea what made me a good salesman—mentor and manage others on how to achieve success? That is where Lushin fits our business. They provided the template that everyone could work off of. We all speak the same sales language. We all understand the ingredients that are needed to make ourselves and each other successful.

Common Sales Sense

Have you ever finished a sales call and thought to yourself why did I forget to say that? OR If only I would have… If you have been in sales for any length of time I’m sure you have plenty of times. I know I have! The worst feeling though is when you finish a sales call and you know what you should have said or did but you didn’t because you simply wimped out NOT because you just forgot. (more…)
