Inspire Section Title Slides Like Media Talkshop

[http://www.theguardian.com/media-network/series/changing-media-summit-2014] This image caught my eye. It’s an ad pumped through a particular sidebar of a site I was recently viewing. You won’t be surprised to learn the event it promotes has its own blog [http://www.theguardian.com/global/2014/jan/

At Least The Bad Guys From Wolf Of Wall St Love Their Scoreboards

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2014/01/wolfofwallst-whiteboard1-400x192.jpg] Oscar nominated The Wolf Of Wall Street. Not only is it at least 45 minutes too long (which could easily be cut from the movie with sensible editing) but it is also shamefully light on the “cautionary” and “redemption” angles

Warning: Do Not Use Wolf Of Wall St Call Script

> Sound Fair Enough? That was one potential title for this blog. It’s from the Leonardo DiCaprio starring, Martin Scorsese directed, movie, The Wolf Of Wall Street. It follows a whitecollar criminal, imprisoned for his stockbroking illegalities. And this phrase appears his preferred closing line. Twenty minutes in, we

The One Single Wolf Of Wall Street Sales Tactic You Can Safely Use

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2014/01/wolfofwallst-sell-me-this-pen-nzl.jpg] The first of a trio of posts triggered by this film, up for gongs at this weekend’s Oscars.

I’ve touched on this latter thorn twice

What Sales Job Interviews Can Take From Google's Talent Choices

So a few days ago on Bloomberg TV, I saw a snippet on Zappos. Usually worth a listen, shoe disrupter Tony Hsieh described how his firm has become so sought after to work at. They have dumped judging people on performance. They only assess against the ten core values [http:

Another Cheeky Too Expensive Objection Handle

The latest VW car ad out of London. Filmed in what looks uncannily like Cape Town’s delightful Hout Bay. Whilst strangely at odds with its recent messaging – that their cars are not as pricey as you’d think – this is a terrific ad for anyone struggling against cheaper competition.

Shine In Sales Ops With Footie Heat Maps

Relax, this isn’t an old school Activity = Sales blog. This may be a post more for the self-labelled sales ops geek, yet its central idea is widely applicable. I’ve been fairly pleased to see the analysis of football matches develop these past couple of seasons. Following on from

When A Cargument Can Be Good For A Prospect

I do like my pop culture. If there is a conversation piece water coolers lap up, it is the latest new word. Neologisms. As the grammar police would term them. (I’ve blogged [http://salespodder.com/?s=neologism] on these marvels a few times over the years). They’re often

Skynews WhatsApp Graphic Fail

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2014/02/whatsappusage70pcskynewsgraphic.jpg] Ooops. With the airwaves and cyberspace pulsing with the ridiculous $19 Billion Facebook purchase of (the delightful) WhatsApp, here’s one of the key graphics from the report on London’s rolling news channel, Sky News. They use the commonplace
