    S3 E38 : Your Humanity Is Your Most Important Sales Tool with Jordana Zeldin

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 8, 2021 28:03


    Today's topic is humanity in sales. At this time of automation and technology, how human is your sales process? How do you connect with humans and genuinely care about solving their problems? Effective selling starts with understanding human needs, acknowledging their circumstances, not just our needs, and our scripts. And if we can meet those very human needs, at every point in the sales conversation, we are going to be forming better prospect relationships, and ultimately having better sales outcomes. Give your prospects the autonomy at every stage of the conversation, make them feel that they're free to say no, they're free to say they're not interested. If someone is not psychologically or emotionally in a place where they're ready to buy, we as sellers, it's our job to prime them. Connect with Us! Mary Grothe Jordana Zeldin

    S3 E37 : From Sales Rep to Sales Leader

    In this episode, let's talk through the journey from sales rep to sales leader. Often the top sales rep gets put into a management role and the expectation is they should just be able to turn every other performer into a top rep in the newsflash. One of the missteps is understanding how to put ourselves in other people's shoes. Invest in the salesperson as a person, you will notice that they will do far above what is expected of them. That shift from sales rep to sales leader takes time. Anytime you're stepping into that sales leadership role, there's the empathetic approach of identifying who your salespeople are, slow down, empower your people to sell at the highest level, help them identify their blind spots and areas of opportunity.

    As a salesperson, how do you avoid discounting? How do you close a sale without offering discounts? Having the right sales strategy is critical in closing a deal. Make sure that your prospect understands the value that you provide, convince them to make an investment on getting your product or service because it meets their needs and fixes their problems. Stop sounding like you are discountable. Salespeople lack the PCE: Passion, Conviction, Enthusiasm. Price is only an issue in the absence of value. Connect with Us! House of Revenue™ Mary Grothe

    In today's episode, let's talk through how a high-performing salesperson can leverage a focus on client experience to fill their pipeline. What is client experience and why is it important? So many organizations fail to implement the tech stack that's needed to create streamlined and efficient communication between team members that support the same client visibility into data metrics that are important. Client experience is the experience you create for them from the very first touchpoint with your brand. It starts with your website, your social, the type of marketing and advertising that you do. After the sales, be a part of the implementation. Sit there on implementation calls, meet with your implementation, client success, or customer service teams. Don't just tell them about the parameters for the project while they're coming off of ABC technology. Be different than your peers. Genuinely care about the people that are involved and it's amazing what will happen after that. You have the power to do so much more than just sell a client. Connect with Us!

    Client relationships are everything. They can be the lifeblood of your business. What would you do when the client relationship goes awry? How do you prevent client blowouts? Today, we wanted to bring on an expert who is going to help talk us through how to repair your client relationship when things go wrong. We have today Lynn Whitbeck, Petite2Queen and Future Forward Sales. When client relationships go south, normally that starts with a trigger event - client expectation is missed, didn't make a delivery on time of critical components, or any other trigger events. From your customer's perspective, their trust has been betrayed because they didn't get what they expected, which is going to cause a challenge. Assess what went wrong, communicate with your client and focus on aligning with them emotionally. Create an opportunity for them to be heard and rebuild the trust. Connect with Us!

    Typically, top sales performers have a bit of ego from their success, and accepting feedback can be difficult. People would lump anything other than positive praise and recognition into their criticism feedback bucket. Today, let's talk about accepting feedback gracefully. Well, it's not too late to start listening to advice from coaches. You'll be surprised with how much better you can get if you take ounces and bits of wisdom from others that have walked a path before you. Shift your attitude from a know-it-all to a growth mindset? It is a conscious journey to start being okay with people giving feedback. Learn to bite your tongue and not react, chose to digest the information, and work through it. Your world will open up to all new possibilities when you allow other people's imperfect perspective to come into your life. Start accepting, start embracing, and start seeking feedback.

They expect their reps to build their own database, market, prospect, close the deal, and continue the journey with the client through account management and customer success.
