Comment on Familiarity Breeds Complacency

Tim, what a great insight, I really like your style of writing.

It's so true, so many advertising reps these days are friends with their clients, it sometimes makes it very difficult to ask the tough question as to why business is going elsewhere, or at the very least asked half heardtedly, so as not to upset the balance of a friendship.

I like the guidelines you outlined above, it's often these kind of things that can get overlooked by sales managers.

Dear Tim,
One of the things about your writing I have found very compelling, is that while you title your blog as, 'SalesLoudmouth', what I actually find is that you observe very insightful, critical elements of the Sales process, by example. And you do so in an almost understated, implied way sometimes. It may just be me, but the contrasting effect is profound...and makes its point [with me, anyway.] Love the writing/thought leadership you offer. KenN

The job of every manager is to reinforce the training and defend against the affects of the environment. Obviously, too few do their jobs.

Tim,

Great job, enjoyed the story. Dick Harlow was a client on mine. We brought all of his managers to Tuxedo Park here in NY and I always thought he had one of the more progressive, innovative organizations we worked with.

In this case, the scene setting is appropriate. And funny. In this case.

Too funny, I know a sales manager who has a cabinet full of acronyms. For what? Salespeople are not children. By the way, I read your more recent entry too about effective sales meetings. Great information and great reminders, and enjoy your story-telling style... kept my interest the whole way through and I thought, "Is this a business blog, or a pleasure one?" Good work, I'll subscribe :)
