I recently spoke at the Whale Hunting Women Summit (www.thewhalehunters.com) in Indianapolis. The idea behind Whale Hunting is that of conquering big deals, big clients, big ideas.

I have some extraordinary clients. I would like to think that I do a good job of expressing my gratitude to them—not only in words, but in how I work with them. My Mom used to always say to me, “Actions speak louder than words,” “Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk.” I assume [...]

With all this talk about the country being in a recession, it has brought back memories of my own “personal recession.” The funny thing is I look back on it with fondness, not scarcity or fear.

I watched with amazement as the reports came back on the Big 3 Automakers and their meeting with Congress. Let’s not forget, the purpose of the meeting was to ask for BILLIONS of dollars—again.

The 3-day event started with an expert summit. The presenters and a few invited guests were given time to present on a subject where they have [...]

How many times has a prospect called and said, “Hey, I need somebody to call me back with a price on (fill in the blank)”? And how many times have you been the “somebody” that has to call them back? If you’re like most sales professionals, you already know that the conversation might be over [...]

I was working with a client yesterday on knowing “what next?” with their prospects and clients. It’s a huge part of controlling the sales process.
What we discovered is that my client is clear about what they THINK is going to happen, but they haven’t shared it with their customer!
How do you know if you’re all [...]

I am very excited to be participating in a conference in September geared toward professional saleswomen. I decided to accept the invitation from “Sales SheBang” because I feel that women have a lot to say and so much more to teach other women.
I am going to be facilitating a breakout session “Personal Value…This Little Light [...]
