How to Sell in the New Economy

I recently interviewed Eric Lofholm who is a Master Sales Trainer who has trained tens of thousands of sales professionals nationwide. As a top-producing sales representative for 3 different sales organizations his consistent track record of regularly outperforming his fellow sales reps earned a reputation of success that follows him to this day. Eric has been trained by the top trainers of his time including: Anthony Robbins and Dr. Donald Moine Ph. D. as well as countless others.Many of America's top companies hire Eric regularly to train, motivate, and inspire their sales teams.

I asked Eric to share with you his top ideas and strategies for your success in today's selling environment. He offers a treasury of advice and resources to compete and dominate in this new economy.

Making a Case for Blogging and Social Media

I cannot sleep this morning and sooooo. I suppose it is in my morning slumber I gather these moments of clarity. Sometimes you have to just remind oneself of why you do what you do. It is in this moment of reflection that reminds us of our original intent but also re-energizes us with new distinctions. And when virtually the same words still seem new,then perhaps you really have something of value.

So this early AM I ask myself, "why blog"? If you notice I have not been very active of late. I need that juice. SO I ask, "why blog"? And then....

"Why have a website"? "Why Tweet or participate in FaceBook?"

Authority through thought leadership.I guess the more things change the more they stay  the same.
