Routine is the silent killer of creativity. No, really, it is. Following the same process again and again, over an extended period of time, can seriously burn motivation. Sure, sales techniques have <\/span>changed over the years<\/span><\/a>, but what has stayed pretty consistent is the seven-step process of gaining new customers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prospecting<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Preparing<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Approaching<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Presenting<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Handling objections<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Closing<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Following up<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To break up this established routine, we\u2019re challenging you to take a step back and look at these seven steps through a new lens. How?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    By learning from some of the best (not necessarily sales-related) quotes from modern movies. After all, isn\u2019t that what creativity is? A <\/span>unique blending of two seemingly unrelated ideas?<\/span><\/p>\n

    We\u2019re not going to just focus on famous sales movies (like <\/span>Glengarry Glen Ross<\/span><\/i>) or movie quotes about \u201csuccess\u201d either. Rather, we\u2019ll show you what sales has in common with an investigator\u2019s day to day, fear of contact with an unknown alien or monster, and heading into a battle to the death. Intrigued? Read on to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n
