How to Reach the Top 1% in Just 15 Minutes a Day
If you spent merely fifteen extra minutes each day gaining one new sales idea or sharpening a sales skill, within a few years you would become an industry leader. Did you know that?
That’s the premise behind “Relationship Selling.” Sales excellence is acquired one skill at a time. As you grow your knowledge base, you will gain self-mastery.
Relationship Selling is defined as professional behavior, applied to the cultivation of relationships which generate profitability for you, your company and profitability for the person who decided to do business with you.
The original Relationship Selling, written by the author of The Acorn Principle: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, has been published in Japanese, Chinese and Finnish and is currently taught by businesses and universities around the world.
The Relationship Selling Philosophy is: Business should be practiced as an act of friendship, rather than merely as a process of negotiation. It is about connecting with people profitably, not merely persuading them to buy.
Jim Cathcart, Author of “Relationship Selling” and “The Acorn Principle: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself”
The eight competencies of Relationship Selling are:
- Prepare to sell: Build and sustain sales readiness.
- Target the right prospects: Identify who, how and when to make contact.
- Connect with the person: Establish truthful communication and build trust.
- Assess the needs: Understand the needs of the person and their situation.
- Solve the main problem: Cause the person to experience the value you bring.
- Assure satisfaction: See that the customer remains satisfied with their decision.
- Manage your sales potential: Lead, motivate and grow yourself.

Years ago I randomly purchased a CD set on sales training and one of the speakers in the set was Zig Ziglar. I still remember how I felt listening to Zig's message for the first time. Needless to say I was hooked, and self development has been a very important part of my life ever since. Investing time in yourself and what you want to accomplish in life is the best thing you can ever do!

Thank you, Scott. Zig Ziglar was one of the very best! We had the opportunity to meet with him at his office in Dallas approx 10 years ago. He had a "wall of gratitude" mounted in his lobby, with 8 X 10 pictures of great people who influenced him throughout his lifetime. We will post an upcoming article with video from Zig on his training as it pertains to the auto industry.
