In this session, I  respond to these two questions:  1.  Q.  Dave, I’m a sales manager, and I’m increasingly losing my patience with salespeople who constantly whine and complain.  Any thoughts on how to handle the chronic whiners?  2.  How do you deal with potential sales people who think they are ‘entitled’?

Welcome to the information age.  You are not unique.  This problem of information inundation is a relatively new but almost universal threat to your livelihood.  Four or five years ago, sales professionals were not too concerned with it.  Today, it can make or break your career.  Let’s unpack this together.

I call it FIP.  Fine in the Past.  It refers to all the sales and marketing efforts, ideas, policies, principles, techniques, and strategies that worked well in the past, but are no longer effective.  The past is everything that’s pre-2018.

I still recall a poignant moment with an attendee at one of my seminars.  During the break he came up to me and said this: “I’ve been in business for seventeen years.  And we’ve done well.  But now, it seems like everything is changing, and I don’t know what to do.” Let’s dig into this.

The pace of change has increased, the growth in complexity has multiplied, and information has proliferated at an unprecedented pace.  We are in extraordinary times.  We often find ourselves overwhelmed, distracted and insecure.  And unprecedented times call for unique and disciplined approaches if we are to survive and thrive.

The only sure way to deal with this pace of change is to nurture the skill of changing ourselves as rapidly as the world is changing around us.  And that makes learning the ultimate success skill for our generation.
