Tim Connor, world-renowned speaker for the past 44 years and author of over 80 books, shares his tactics for standing out, selling corporate executives, and earning their repeat business for decades.
Key Takeaways: “What I’ve learned in sales and in business is that if you don’t get under people’s skin, if you don’t create some discomfort, they’re not going to change anything.”
“If people aren’t engaged in anything…if they’re not engaged in the process, they are really not there mentally and they’re not there emotionally, so they might as well not be there physically either.”
“When did you change something in your life? … I will guarantee it was because you saw something, heard something, somebody said something to you that made you feel uncomfortable about the status quo.”
“I’d rather not make the sale because I was honest than to make the sale because I wasn’t honest and to live with those consequences long term.”
“People are replacing wisdom with information. They think that information will solve their problems.”
“You have to find creative ways to stand above or beyond the people who are doing the same thing you’re doing in your marketplace.”
“They could not have honest, face to face confrontations, and that relationship ended. What’s more important, political correctness, or surviving in your business.”
“You’re not on this journey alone. As long as you think you can do it by yourself, you’re making a serious mistake.”
About The Guest: Tim Connor has been a full-time speaker and trainer since 1973. He’s the author of over 80 books, including bestsellers like Soft Sell, 91 Mistakes Smart Sells People Make, Your First Year In Sales, and Life Is Short.

Listen to yourself. Don’t listen to the dream killers. Take chances, do what drives you.
Find something you think is cool and try to make it extraordinary.
Every great brand needs a great community behind it.
First impression can be your last impression.
What can you do today to not be forgotten?
Everything you do that’s worth doing, you invest in it and you do it consistently.
Keep consistently marketing your business. You have to feed your business.
Quit thinking about so many things, just dive in. Go against the grain.
