Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. I think most people underestimate how much creativity is required in sales. In yesterday\u2019s tip, Liz Tolin talked about picking up the phone and getting to the no and the real reason and issues that are in the way. That\u2019s just one place where this creativity clicks in. Whether it\u2019s a challenge you run across in the middle of your sales process or just a challenge in your life that\u2019s getting in the way. If you get creative you can find another way. The trick is to stay open-minded and to quote Alex Shootman again: \u201cto see things for what they are, but not worse than they are.\u201d Meaning you can\u2019t get paralyzed by obstacles. Instead, you\u2019ve got to look at them objectively and then start looking for ways around them. Can you remove the obstacle? Do you need to go through it, around it, under it? There\u2019s almost always a way to get to the other side. Stay calm. Evaluate the situation objectively, get creative and find another way. It\u2019s a long story, but that\u2019s the only reason why you\u2019ve been able to listen to new sales tips everyday for the last 4 days.<\/p>\n

Be sure you\u2019re subscribed to the podcast and come back tomorrow for another great sales tip.<\/p>\n

Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
