Podcast #18: Hour One-A Better Way to Tackle Your To Do List

by

As you begin another busy week, I thought you’d appreciate my latest podcast where I share a process for getting more done in less time.


I rarely start each week without it because it is that helpful! So of course, I wanted to share it with you.

I used to begin every Monday feeling a heavy drudgery as I stared at my calendar.  The thoughts of everything that needed to get done made me want to crawl back under the covers and hide!

Today, I actually look forward to this planning process I call Hour One. Dale Carnegie was spot on when he said, “One hour of planning saves 10 hours of doing.”

I’ve found Hour One actually takes less than 60 minutes and delivers hours and hours of increased personal productivity. And, as a HUGE added bonus, I can throw my ToDo list away!

by

A ‘no-contact’ business model has worked well for many industries…but not so much for dentistry.

My firm recently completed a survey of seasoned dental manufacturer reps throughout North America. The results revealed, reaching dentists while respecting social distancing practices is the #1 challenge, suppressing sales today.

By now you’ve noticed that getting back to ‘normal’ is taking a lot longer than most of us ever imagined. Yet, our lives and time march on.

I am excited to share a tool to better align daily actions with our personal and professional goals.

PODCAST #15: The Annual Results Review A Look Back to Leap Forward into a New Year

by

Research of more than 800 million Strava app users found the day most people give up on their New Year’s Resolution is January 19. (Strava calls it “Quitter’s Day.”)

Even if, two weeks into January, you too are second guessing your resolutions, I know you aren’t a quitter! You’ve accomplished too much to believe that!

Or maybe, in all the New Year action and activity, you haven’t slowed down to make a plan or create a resolution for 2021.

Human beings are teleologic…we are naturally wired to seek goal achievement…aspiration is in our DNA. And, when we fail to plan…yes, we plan to fail.




So, check out today’s podcast, it is first in a two-part mini training on creating a personal Growth Plan. It’s really good and will be easy to stick with because…it’s all about you doing YOU!

Listen in as I walk you through the exact process I personally use every year. The Annual Results Review is powerful and a valuable way to set your mind and your intention to create something bigger and better.

Next week, in Part 2, I’ll share a fantastic process for building a powerful personal Growth Plan.

Complete your Annual Results Review, so together we can create our best year, ever!

#012 Caught in the Friends Without Benefits Zone

by

People do business with people they know like and trust. And, dentists are no different. But, when customer relationships get stuck in the friends only zone, things feel awkward and sales slow.

As a sales rep, you approach every dental office leading with your style, charisma and expertise. All of this this good…really good. Yet, problems occur when receptionists, ordering assistants and office managers see you as a “friend” and not as a valued business advisor. They have other reps for that.



Knowing how to work your way out of the “friends without benefits zone” can be tricky. So, this podcast episode provides a practical approach on how to establish a friendly yet professional and productive relationship with the people and practices you support, serve and ultimately sell to.

#11: How to Turn Up the Volume on Customer Value

by

As a representative you have many opportunities to deliver value to dentists and their team by the level of support you provide. Doctors remain happy and loyal to a product, company and representatives they believe support their practice, patient and procedure goals. So, one of the best ways for you to reach your numbers and continue to grow your territory is to create new customers and keep the ones you have.

Given the pressure to reach sales targets, it’s easy to lead sales calls with product promotions, focus on sales and miss opportunities to serve and support. Yet, the most effective way to build credibility, trust and fierce customer loyalty is by becoming a trusted advisor. This podcast provides practical steps to help you do just that.
