2 MINUTE LEADERSHIP TUNE-UP:  FORMAL AND INFOMAL LEADERSHIP

ADRP 6-22 Paragraph 1-22. “Informal leadership exists throughout organizations, must support legitimate authority, and plays an important role in mission accomplishment. Informal leadership is not based on rank or position in the organizational hierarchy. It can arise from knowledge, experience, or technical expertise and may require initiative on the part of the individual to assume responsibility. When leading without designated authority, informal leaders need to appreciate potential impacts and contribute to the team’s success. As the final decision maker, the formal leader is ultimately responsible for legitimizing an informal leader’s advice.”

We all carry a two buckets with us.  A bucket of fuel and a bucket of water.  We decide in every situation which buck we will bring to the situation.  In doing this we exert influence either for the positive or negative.

“BUNDLE” i.e. “DUMP TRUCK”

Salespeople tend to focus most of their attention on closing the sale, but hardly ever celebrate the sales process itself. What happens when we go right to the close? We vault. In skipping critical pieces of the sales process you jeopardize the sale. Veteran Sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale share the reasons why salespeople vault and ideas for enhancing your own sales process. Being too attached to the sale or receiving mixed messages from your manager can have a big impact on your success. In this episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan will equip you with the ideas and approaches you need to win through every step of the sale.

REMEMBER: KEYS TO SUCCESS

  1. ATTITUDE
  2. MOTIVATION
  3. EFFORT – unplanned labor is chaos
  4. URGENCY

 King Solomon:  If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed. (Ecclesiastes 10:10 ESV)
