22ND CENTURY
SELLING SKILLS
Huh? Is Mike insane?
Where are…
 Prospecting?
 Qualifying?
 Presentation Skills?
 Closing?
 Resolving Objections?
Why These Skills?
Mike Kunkle 4Session SU118, May 4, 2014
Totes McGotes, I’m cray-cray! But I also have a logical reason.`
So…
… am I focused (mostly) on “Non-Sales” stuff?
Knowledge & Skill Gaps
Because, after…
 Over 20 years doing sales
performance work
 A dozen Performance Lever
analyses
 Studying over 17,000 sales
people
– Differentiating practices of top
producers
 Delivering over $1B in top-line
lift (level 4 results)…
These are the gaps I see

 A published paper or peer-reviewed article
 Data that was statistically crunched using:
– Multivariate regression analysis
– Pearson correlation coefficient
– ANOVA
– Or other such fun statistical tests.

This is:
 A mash-up: Data from 12+ projects
 Observations over time, comparing the top 4% to the rest of
the top 20% and mid-producers
 PLUS Some new things, based on our evolving marketplace
 Consistent for B2B & B2C (various sales nuances)
 Used in effective learning systems and advanced sales
curricula in several companies (with strong ROI)
 PLUS how I’ve helped employers/clients hire for sales more
effectively.
Disclaimers

Final Word on the
Approach Today
 Not a sales pitch
 More “Value-add” than “Slick Presentation”
 WAY too much to absorb here
– Deeper on some topics; skim others
 Slides are a follow-up resource
– Plenty of links
– Posted on SlideShare (downloadable)
 Willing to discuss today, this week, this year,
whenever.

The potential impact of Social Selling varies greatly by industry.
Social Selling will be highly disruptive to some industries. Not so much to others.
If you are in an industry where social selling has high applicability, peddle faster.
If you are in an industry where social selling has low applicability, ignore it.

– Weave these skills in, appropriately, where you can
– Create Effective Learning Systems
– Make an impact and deliver ROI.
