S2 E416: Encore Episode – The six steps to respect

All of us desire to be respected — and, it just makes sense to show our colleagues and customers respect in our dealings with them. Why, then, do we often see examples of pushy salespersons, disinterested employees, or haughty customers? In part, because they haven’t learned and applied the topic of today’s PROJECT DISTINCT: the six steps to respect.

S2 E415: Encore Episode – An example of why hard selling doesn’t work today

There’s a $55 million house involved — a real estate agent — and a prospect who won’t buy ANYTHING because of a pushy approach. That’s today’s PROJECT DISTINCT, where Scott McKain discusses how one salesperson’s choice not to listen might have spoiled a potential sale. Is that a mistake you’ve ever made? Probably, we ALL have — and today’s episode shows us what to do about it…and why aggressive sales tactics are like an unexamined drug.

S2 E414: Encore Episode – Don’t be a “sales bada**!”

Based on his recent blog post that stirred controversy, Scott McKain explodes the myth that being a “sales badass” is what will help you close deals and convert customers. Today’s PROJECT DISTINCT provides the three points that you must know if you are going to serve customers and grow sales.

S2 E413: Encore Episode – It’s challenging to be differentiated!

If differentiation was easy — let’s face it, more organizations (and professionals) would be standing out and moving up! On today’s PROJECT DISTINCT, Scott McKain identifies four specific areas where you might encounter difficulty — and explains WHY it’s so critical to separate ourselves from the competition.

S2 E411: Encore Episode – Is the way you’re thinking causing your business problems?

According to a new study from Accenture Consulting, many of the problems experienced by businesses are not because of changes in the market, competition, or technology.  It’s the way that leaders THINK. What if the way that you’ve been educated — or trained yourself — to think about business isn’t valid in today’s world of change? It’s one of the most important topics we could cover on PROJECT DISTINCT, and Scott McKain will challenge YOUR thinking today!

S2 E410: Encore Episode – Is your service survey the worst part of your customer’s experience?

Today, Scott McKain relates the time that the worst portion of his customer experience was the hassle about completing the survey to grade the experience. Could that be happening to your customers? Could your sincere desire to evaluate and improve be viewed as a hassle by the very people/companies you seek to serve? On this episode of PROJECT DISTINCT, learn how to create more engaging surveys — and customers.
