Where do good ideas come from? The best way to answer this questions is to watch this video.
I hope you were able to watch the entire video because he explains it so well. To put this information into context of selling… As salespeople we are tasked with creating good ideas. People in your company and in management may disagree with me on this statement, but if you desire to become a creative and innovative salesperson you will buy into the idea that you are only as good as your ideas.
Ideas
When I write about idea creation you might think “product”. However, product is important, but as an entrepreneurial salesperson you will need to have ideas around:
- Where to prospect
- How to prospect
- Creative ways to demonstrate value
- Creative ways to prove value
- Introduce the business
- Selling the entire offering
I am somewhat tired of the term “out of the box”. There is only one box… that’s the one you put yourself in. I suggest you stay out of one.
