Your people will learn that the goal is for everybody to do the right thing simply because it’s the right thing to do – not because it’s expected by leadership, but because it is demanded of ourselves!
- Shut Up And Dance!
The Perfect General Session Kick Off and Supplemental Program to Your Current Training Program where Dan uses the metaphor of dance to demonstrate the distinct sides of sales: the Process, the Presentation, Expertise and Emotion. In Dance and in Sales, technical perfection is insufficient. It is an orphan without the true soul of the dancer. In Dance and in Sales, it's not what you do but who you do it with. Dancing is not about talking. It’s about showing and doing together. In dance you must first learn the dance steps, and then go with the flow, move to the beat and understand the unspoken words your partner is sharing as he/she leads you where they want to go on the floor. Although the rhythms of a fast song and a slow song are different, and they last the same length of time, it is in the slow songs where we ask questions and listen and get closer quicker. Only when the dance is over do you talk (make your presentation) to take it to the next level
