You Can't Handle the Truth - A Sales Meeting w/ Grant

Not my type of training. I've become successful by building my sales people as individuals and promoting the success that they have the natural building blocks for. Not cutting them down so that they are open receptive to listen to a new set of rules...

Though he does seem sharp.. Maybe he's got a good book.
 
Hagen, thanks for commenting. I agree it's very in your face. I think Grant was trying to make a point.

I agree with you. Work with your team, listen, educate, and then sell your managers and staff on the benefits of playing on the same team.

Of course if they continue to not play to expectation, sit them on the bench and find someone that will.
 
I watched this a second time with an assumption that he was talking to the dealer instead of the salesperson. In this case, I think he was right on target IMO..

There is too much old thinking that needs to evaporate..
 
I don't like anything that is negative towards anyone's family situation that is supposed to motivate. As well, a Grant Cardone quote about sales meetings seems to take another tack: "Focus on the 'wins not the losses! Take a few minutes at every meeting to congratulate salespeople for any and all completed goals, closed deals, and successes. Praise reinforces positive behavior and encourages everyone to do well. Keep the discussion relevant and don't allow people to present problems unless they also have potential solutions."
 
I think that if we as humans could listen past the style of the delivery and instead ask if any of this applies to us in any way, there is a growth oppurtunity. If an oppurtunity is discovered, we have a chance for growth. Watching from that vantage point had me not hear the tone, just the possibilities.
