Show Notes

Derek is an Australian BDM who talks a hundred miles an hour and I think he does that that’s because he is a busy guy.

Derek shares some great insights about how he keeps new business meetings coming his way and he is a great example of someone who is making sales fun.

Dereks prospecting takes all types of formats

He sends things in the mail.
Customised Bottles of wine

Cards with a QR code on them


Of course, he also does the usual
Makes cold calls.

In addition to all that., Some of the topics we cover are  
Why you need to think like a Venture Capitalist when you’re evaluating your next sales role and what to consider.

How for a bunch of sellers the ability to actually make your target is, as he calls it, a suicide mission.

We talk about Commission structures. Why they need to change.

And has sales lost it fun?

What happened to the long lunches the flights and golf games?
