Issue 8, August 11, 2020

Theme of the Week

What is the cost of poor sales on-boarding, and what to do about it?

Welcome back for Issue 8!

Thank you for those who responded to our survey requests. Based on the initial response to the survey, we will produce two issues per month as opposed to one issue per week. I will also attempt to shorten my introductions. For those who have not responded to the survey, please click here and let us know what you think.

As for this week’s issue, we focus on helping you protect your new revenue investment (i.e., your new hire) with successful onboarding.

Also, please check out my friend David Garza’s contribution from a Fellow Trusted Advisor, The Cycle of Entrepreneurial Leadership.

The moment you feel the need to tightly manage someone, you’ve made a hiring mistake. The best people don’t need to be managed. Guided, taught, led–yes. But not tightly managed.

The Overzealous Salesman

A door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman manages to bull his way into a woman’s home in a rural area. “This machine is the best ever,” he exclaims, while pouring a bag of dirt over the living room carpet.

The woman says she’s really worried it may not all come out, so the salesman says, ” If this machine doesn’t remove all the dust completely, I’ll lick it myself.”

“Do you want ketchup on it?” she says. “The electricity is out and won’t be fixed for a couple of days.”
