Profile Information

What is your Interest?
Corporate Responsibility
Represent:
Company, Individual, Organization
Name of Company / Organization:
Morgen Facilitations, Inc.
What would you most like to get out of this network?
I would love to work with companies interested in my collaborative decision-making model that ensures sales efforts are in alignment with other CSR efforts. I also would have interest in partnering with others doing corporate training and seek to build a practice of tools to serve businesses.
What knowledge, skills and experience do you have that you would be happy for people to contact you over?
Training, consulting, executive coaching re setting up sales departments to work with socially responsible skills, marketing materials, etc.
I have developed a Servant Leader collaborative decision making model that helps buyers navigate their internal decisions and can be used for sales, negotiating, consulting, customer service, OD, change management, and project management.
What else would you like to say about yourself?
Since the 80s, I have been working in corporations to bring ethical practices into their ROI. Initially - from 1988 - 1994 - I did dozens of keynotes in the Wisdom at Work conferences, but was often rejected because my focus was on 'sales'. I believe it might be time now for folks to realize the importance of having a solid foundation to other CSR practices - without sales shifting, other practices are sitting on a weak foundation.

Customers Don't Know How To Buy - Or Do They?

A friend recently returned from the recent Sales 2.0 conference and told me of a complaint she heard several times from attendees: “Customers don’t know how to buy.”

This, said by sellers blaming buyers for not behaving as sellers would prefer. Or not responding appropriately to seller’s selling patterns.

Let me reverse the issue: Sellers do not respond appropriately to buyer’s buying patterns! Indeed, have they helped their customers:

* manage the range of internal decisions they need to mak… Continue

How do you know you're listening to your clients in the most effective way?

Listening is circular, and ends with the originating speaker receiving a message they need to respond to. There is a speaker and a listener, a message maker and a message receiver. And without a Sender and a Receiver, there is no message. Indeed, the definition of a communication includes having a sender and a receiver. In my humble opinion, listening is the most important part of a communication, because if we don’t hear what is being said, there are no grounds for communication.

How do you kn… Continue

Selling in a Gloomy Economy

What is the difference between selling in a robust economy and selling in a failing economy? A lot. But not what you think.

* Your product is the same
* Your pitch/presentation is the same
* The buyer’s need is the same

What’s different is the decision making process the buyers need to go through. Do they have a problem that needs to be resolved now, and the economy has mitigated the types of solutions they seek? Do they have a problem that can be fixed with a partial, cheaper solution, or wit… Continue

Would You Rather Sell? Or Have Someone Buy?

This will be my last essay. I have been writing these newsletters monthly newsletter/essays for the past 8 years. During that time I have spent upwards of 25 hours writing each one. I hope that you have enjoyed them and learned a bit about the differences between selling and the psychology of buy-in.

As my final essay, I’d like to get back to basics. It continues to surprise me that some of you have a hard time understanding how to ‘apply’ the basic beliefs and skills underlying Buying Facilita… Continue

We are attempting to set up a CSR strategy for ourselves and our partner companies to subscribe to if they wish.

Have you any links, documents or advice?
