In this week's I wanted to speak with you about the challenge many people face when your potential client wants you to follow their process for making a purchasing decision. It may be that your client wants you to follow a process that you know won't result in success for either of you.

So how do you gain control from the beginning? And if things start to go off track, how can you turn it around?

Let me introduce you to a roadmap that will follow a buying process that ensures success, not a crazy one that leaves you and your client destined for failure.

Lisa Earle McLeod is an expert in motivating and leading organizations. She helps organizations accelerate revenue growth, increase competitive differentiation and ignite emotional engagement with a customer-driven methodology called Noble Purpose. She's the author of several books, my favorite being Selling With Noble Purpose and also Leading With Noble Purpose.

Research shows that organizations with a noble purpose bigger than money outperformed the market by over 350%. In fact, salespeople who sell with a noble purpose, whose intention is to improve the lives of their customers, outsell target focus salespeople.

On this episode, Lisa shares the steps you can take to start selling with noble purpose when coming out of a crisis. Lisa and I share so many views in common. I think you'll really enjoy this discussion

In this episode, I want to talk about time and materials billing versus fixed price billing.

Over the last dozen years, I've had the pleasure of working with many companies who sell services to their clients. Most of them have historically priced their services by the hour. I want to suggest why that might not be a great idea for you or your clients.

This concept may make you feel a little uncomfortable, but take a listen and you'll see how a change in approach could make all the difference to you AND your clients
