Solution-Sell is a Myth!


Who among us is not already up to here with the omni-smarts who wax poetic the benefits of "Solution Selling." Now it may seem strange for me, the author of the book "Up Your Income! Solution Selling for Profitability" to cast aspersions on the merits of this approach.

Hate Follow-Up Phone Calls To Hot Prospects Who Won't Call You Back? Stop Calling!


We all learned in Sales 101 we must follow up with our prospects until they buy. Unfortunately, while we're busy trying to make all these follow-ups, some very fine prospects who are ready to buy now are flying under our radar.

Do You Have Enough Prospects To Make Your Numbers?
