Charlie Kirk – In Case You Missed It

by Dave Kahle

I’ve seen a lot in my lifetime. I remember the moment when I heard that JFK was assassinated. Sitting in a high school class, the announcement came over the PA System.

           I watched the Viet Nam war and all the protests, including the Kent State shooting of four students. I was witness to the Watergate mess, the trips to the moon, and Woodstock.        

           I’ve watched the political machinations on both sides and watched as the Republican’s and Democrat’s hold on power ebbs and flows.      

           But, on Sunday, I saw something that I had never seen before. At the end of the event, I said to my wife, “This is one of the most significant events in our lifetime.”

           It was the memorial for Charlie Kirk.       

            I confessed, in an earlier post, that a few weeks ago I did not know who Charlie Kirk was. 

What one thing would grow your confidence, enhance your results, and make you more valuable in the eyes of your bosses? 

        Gaining mastery of the hardest thing for a B2B salesperson to do – make a  live, in-person visit on someone who doesn’t know you or your company. 

        Most B2B salespeople have never been trained in the ways to do it well. And so they avoid it.  They find other things to do and make up reasons for why they were unable to do it.  Salespeople become disheartened and sales managers grow frustrated

        I can fix that.  On February 13, at 12:00 noon (Eastern) I’ll present a one-hour webinar on the best way to prepare and execute a first call on a prospect.   

        I’ll take you through the mindset you need to be successful, the one key objective for every first call, and how to overcome distorted expectations.

        Then, I’ll identify the three key pieces of a well-executed first call, and show you how to prepare for each. You’ll be ready to go.  Confident and prepared.

In this 60 – minute session, you’ll

• Identify the key objective for a first call
• See why a first call seems so overwhelming.
• Gain an understanding of the three key components to a first call.
• Become equipped to thoroughly prepare for each of the three key components.

        This may be the only opportunity in your life to gain mastery of something that causes most salespeople to stumble.  Separate yourself from your competition. You’ll use the concepts and processes shared in this webinar for the rest of your career.

You owe it yourself to participate.

           And on Sunday, I was more interested in watching the football game than a memorial service. 
 

           But my wife wanted to watch it, at least a little bit of it, and so I sat down with her and watched. We were both glued to the TV for the next five and a half hours.

           First, there were the people in the audience.  Somewhere between 70,000 and 200,000 at this venue and the arena next door. One man came from Ireland to be there, and I suspect there were others from around the world.

           At first, as the eulogies and testimonials from his friends and co-workers unwound, I was impressed with the people. They were almost all young, intelligent, attractive and passionate.  

            A little perspective.  I have been a consultant for over 30 years.  In that time, I’ve worked with over 500 organizations.  I’ve never seen a group of people like this in any of those organizations.

           They talked about this being a turning point in the American story and vowed to continue the work Charlie begun.... CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE
