How to Buyers to Close Themselves #523 Do you struggle to close deals? Next to getting a sales appointment, closing is the second most difficult task when selling. Some think closing a deal and getting the prospect to put their name on the dotted line is a monumental task. You commonly hear that it takes an assertive winner-takes-all attitude to be successful in sales. But that's not how it works with a Taoist perspective. I must confess, there is a certain truth to the idea of ABC, Always Be Closing. Because if you start off on the right foot,  with the intention to help your prospects, you'll advance the sale by patiently with every answer to every question the buyer asks. Eventually, buyers close themselves. This is Wu-wei in action. That's the topic for today. Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours. See https://salesbabble.com I've interviewed 100s of sales experts and discuss all things sales: prospecting, qualifying, value propositions, presentations, demos, closing, generating referrals, earning references, upselling, marketing, lead generation, copywriting, and most important the right selling mindset. Stop fearing sales and embrace it. This is a production of Habanero Media https://habaneromedia.net

Joe,I apologize for posting this letter publicly. I know you're a private guy. But I don't have your new address. Today marks two years since you left us and I have a lot of updates to share. But dude, I gotta confess, I was pretty angry at you for leaving the way you did. It kinda fucked me up. Losing you sent me into a depression that was difficult to overcome. Hell, I still can't listen to Jimmy Eat World songs without getting overwhelmed with emotion. You've kinda ruined that band for me. And now, whenever I visit Detroit or Chicago, the experience feels somewhat lackluster. It's as if I'm perpetually on the outside, missing the rich, hidden layers of the city—those secret gems you once unveiled with your vast, encyclopedic knowledge of American urban greatness and history.Two months ago I sold my stake in our chain of restaurants and that meant I had to dig through and archive decades of emails. I must have read 400+ emails between us going back 20+ years. I was reminded of how your wit and charm always shined through even when writing emails. You were one of the best storytellers I've ever known. Sometimes I wish you were here to give me feedback on this silly newsletter I write. I often wonder: “What would Shores think of this? How would he tell this story?”Remember when we tried for 2 years to open a bar in Detroit? You kept telling me: “Detroit is gonna come back. It is. We are getting in early.” I was skeptical. But, Boy o boy, were you right. Detroit is booming. It's hard to get a hotel room or a reservation on some weekends. You nailed that! But I'm not writing to complain about how you left us or reminisce about the amazing memories we had together. I'm writing you to say Thank You, Joe. No. That's not right. Thanks Shores! Or maybe even better, “Thank you, Shorsey Pop Pop!” I'm not sure why I started calling you “Joe” only after you died. Grief does strange things to people. But seriously, Thank You Shores. Your passing marked a turning point in my life, a moment when the fragility of human existence became painfully clear. Yet, in the wake of sorrow, I discovered an unexpected gift: the capacity for change within myself. To shake my grief I embarked on my “Year Of The Opposite.” - Kinda like Costanza. I know you'll get the reference. Basically, all the things that I did before, I tried to do the opposite. Remember how you used to urge me to travel more with you? Well, you were right. I've visited 50+ cities in the past 2 years. Remember my “SPORTS!” t-shirt that I wore mockingly. Now I Golf, Run, Pickleball, workout, and am willing to play any sport I'm invited to. You were right about sports too. Along the way, I even lost 60+ LBS! It was about time! I had really let myself go. I made a bunch of crazy changes: ran 7 miles backwards, a marathon, swam across a lake, beat the BW3's blazin wing challenge, flew a plane briefly, did a ride along with the police, school board member, cold plunge addict, and a bunch of other crazy things. You should subscribe to my newsletter so I can keep you updated. (Hey, you know I'm a marketing guy! Always Be Closing!) But the biggest change you inspired in me was giving up alcohol. I always wondered why the booze didn't get it's hooks into me like it did you, I think I was just lucky. I've only had 35 occasions for celebratory drinks in the past 2 years. And honestly, the 35 times weren't worth it. I may give it up for good. When I look back, I'm embarrassed to admit how many of our amazing nights together revolved around alcohol. I felt really guilty that the substance that brought us together was the same substance that extinguished your bright flame. I'm sorry buddy. Shores, you've shown me the interconnectedness of loss, growth, and gratitude in ways I never imagined. Your impact stretches far beyond the life you lived, shaping my path in both big and small ways. With each change I've embraced, each new habit I've formed, and each moment of reflection I've experienced, I've drawn closer to the person your memory inspired me to be. What initially felt like an insurmountable challenge has become a source of strength and motivation, pushing me to live a life filled with purpose, health, and happiness.I want to engage with life in ways that honor your memory and the lessons that your loss has taught me. So, thank you, Shores. Thank you for the laughter and the lessons, for the moments shared and the impact made. Your legacy lives on, not just in memory but in the very fabric of my daily life and in the deepening of my connections with Wahl, Laur, Cookie, Paulie B, Paulie C, Cottone, Matty V, Benny V, Wiggs and all the Stoddard boys. I wish I could have sent this message directly to you - but since it has to be public, maybe this homage will remind others of their own capacity for change. Maybe this can give one person hope that their lowest moments can reveal the best of their character. Because in my darkest times, you've helped me seek out the light, and for that, I am eternally grateful.With deep appreciation and lasting gratitude,- Travy-pop.Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

In episode 374 of the BE SMART podcast, Jared demystifies the key to deal negotiation for a home and why, as a buyer, you should be making a series of negative comments to your realtor to bring the price of a house down. Everything in real estate is negotiable, and it's a bit like playing cards—meaning it's helpful to know which cards a seller is holding. You don't want to be a “people pleaser” when negotiating for a house. It never hurts to ask for something you want included, whether it be the drapes or a piece of furniture.

There's no worse regret than "I didn't know you did that." "I didn't know I could hire you for that." You have to tell people what you do for your job and profession, how you get paid, how you create value for others and how you help people with your professional services or products if it's something you genuinely believe in. This is not a sales pitch or a conversion process. This is not ABC "Always Be Closing". This is a value conversation, which is much better. Be brave enough to advocate for yourself, your business or brand. If you don't do it for yourself, no one else will. Talk about what you do or what you're working on casually, in an informational way. Be bold and talk about your business or side hustle. Talk about your goals. Talk about your band, art or social media account you're trying to build. Talk about a new degree you're working on because you want to change your career. Talk about things you want to do, get people involved, get people invested. Create relationships and then go from there with a potential for success. You know me, I'm Kyle Golding. I'm not just the guy behind the Saturday Morning Hustle. I'm also the CEO and Chief Strategic Idealist for The Golding Group, an award-winning think tank of strategic planning, business process management, integrated marketing and public relations consultants. We work with your leadership team to develop strategy, determine the most effective action plans, then execute and measure. We create processes, systems and protocols that can be measured, adjusted and repeated by incorporating data analysis, market trends and audience feedback in a two-way conversation. Tell people what it is you do. Tell people how it's different than other options. Tell them the value that you create. Tell them the audience you're looking for. Tell them who gets the best value out of your product or service, how you want to serve them, how you want to create for them, connect with them, build business relationships, etc... Explain these things to people, but not in a sales pitch. Don't try to sell it directly to them. Just tell friends, tell family, tell casual acquaintances. When you're networking or at a holiday event, when you meet someone and they ask, "What did you do for a living?" don't just say you're in accounting, legal, medical, business, consulting, etc... Tell them "I own a business; this is what we do. This is whom we serve." If the person listening finds value in that, you might have an opportunity, but they also might know someone or refer someone to your business. If you're going to be in business, if you're going to be a self-brand, if you're going to be a hustler, grinder or an entrepreneur, you got to be comfortable telling people who you are, what you do, the value you create, what's distinct about your business, what's good about doing business with you, why people should pay attention, why they should trust you. You have to be comfortable talking about it, not promotionally, not trying to make money, but being confident in what you do by connecting with people. Try to build relationships that eventually could lead to a business transaction. Put things in the correct order. Be confident. Be willing to do it for yourself, your business and your future success. Let's talk about it on the SMH podcast today! It's Saturday. I'm in the office. This is the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast.

Matthew Kimberley is the CEO of Book Yourself Solid Worldwide, author of Get A F*cking Grip, and creator of Delightful Emails, The School for Selling, The Single Malt Mastermind and more. Today, Matthew joins the show to discuss the nuances of negotiating and selling, how to exercise your ‘Sales Muscle,' and the power of speaking things (or asking them) into existence.Key Takeaways01:04 – Tom introduces today's guest, Matthew Kimberley, who joins the show to discuss his background in recruitment and how he got involved in real estate investing 07:24 – The Sales Muscle 19:43 – Overcoming the fear of selling and building confidence 32:05 – The power of speaking things into existence 34:53 – The difference between Negotiation and Sales 38:12 – Play the Game and have fun doing so 39:32 – Tom thanks Matthew for joining the show and lets listeners know where to connect with himTweetable Quotes“I help people who haven't been trained in selling, but they have got some other technical skill. And I help them marry their desire to make a decent living from their technical skill with the ability to actually make a decent living. So, they have the desire, and I show them the processes, the skills and the knowledge that they need to have in place. And I try to keep things as simple as possible.” (06:34) (Matthew) “There is absolutely no question that there's a direct correlation between meaningful sales activity - asking people, ‘Would you be interested in buying my thing? Would you be interested in sitting down and talking about this opportunity? Are you in the market for? - and how many sales you make. The old adage from Glengarry Glen Ross that we should ‘Always Be Closing' is nonsense. We should always be opening. We should always be creating opportunity. And creating opportunity is as easy as asking, ‘Are you interested?'” (09:55) (Matthew) “Nobody ever gets offended, ever, when you say, ‘Would you be interested in buying my thing?' People get offended when you don't listen to their answer.” (16:14) (Matthew) “The temptation for many people - especially at the beginning of their sales journey - is to invest a lot of opportunity in anybody who expresses interest.” (21:52) (Matthew) “We can all improve the quality of our lives by recognizing that if we ask for something, there is a much higher possibility of us receiving it. And, you can apply this to your actions as a buyer as well as your actions as a seller.” (32:05) (Matthew) “Anybody who decides that they will learn selling can make a living. In any economy, there will always be supply and demand requirements. If you can sell, then you'll never go hungry. And if you can remember that, it can be an awful lot of fun.” (38:51) (Matthew)Guest ResourcesTom's LinkedInTom's WebsiteTom's Training programMatthew's LinkedInMatthew's WebsiteMatthew's Instagram

Post-pandemic, Gartner Research study found that only 17% of the time companies spend making B2B buying decisions involves sales. Further, 69 to 80% of all businesses surveyed prefer Digital Self-Service to in-person sales presentations. Traditional go-to sales strategies such as cold-calls, cold emails and in-person meetings are no longer as effective as they were back in the Glen Garry Glen Ross days of "Always Be Closing." New KPIs matter, such as Time to Emotional Connection. Prospect onboarding must be intelligently structured and consistently improved upon. In today's post-pandemic digital age, to achieve consistent double-digit growth we must let go of our "Always Be Closing" strategies in favor of "Always Be Re-Imagining." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dointhething/message

Eric started his first business in 2010 in a small bedroom in Chicago, IL and scaled it to gross $30MM at its peak with over 150 employees all under one roof. He almost sold this business back in 2018. Unfortunately, some lawsuits ended up ruining the deal. In 2021 Eric disrupted the wholesaling space, entering as a rookie, yet grossing over 2.6 million dollars in business in year one, at a 60% profit margin. Today, Eric helped people build the life they dream of, through sales training and mentorship.  The journey here hasn't been easy. Eric battled a crippling addiction to drugs and alcohol for over 12 years, went through a major lawsuit that turned one of his businesses and my personal life upside down leaving me feeling lost, and entered industries he knew no one or nothing about.  But Eric is a firm believer that where you are today, does not have to determine where you are tomorrow. Eric believes in the underdog because he once was the underdog. Second, third, and fourth chances are real and if you're the hardest worker in the room & utilize a bullet proof sales process for your team, you can build the life you have always dreamed of.     In this episode, Brad and Eric discuss Eric's former business, his lawsuit, and his new adventure helping others close their own deals and create their own success.    Watch the full video episode on Brad's Rumble here: https://rumble.com/c/c-2544182  Watch the full video episode on Brad's Youtube Here: https://bradlea.tv

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Shohei Ohtani's latest exploits and career-best WAR pace, the Angels' playoff hopes, Corbin Carroll's physique, and Mickey Moniak's fluky-but-fun hot streak, then (20:55) answer listener emails about how big a scandal it would be if Ohtani turned out to be two twins, when managers would choose to take […]

We don't have to convince you, a B2B marketer, that S.A.D. (Sales Are Dope). You live, breathe, and dream in analytics, KPI's, and conversion rates. You count impressions in your dreams instead of sheep. But you may actually be taking yourself too seriously. It's time to have some fun with your work and use satire in your marketing.  The irony, sarcasm, and parody of satire in your content, hits your target audience hard, and differentiates your content from the sea of corporate handshake stock photos and banality that B2B marketing materials usually consist of. On this episode of Remarkable, we're binge-watching Corporate Bro videos on YouTube. Listen in as we show you why a portion of your marketing budget should be used to make world class edu-tainment content. We also cover how you can take a multi-channel, multi-format approach, and partner with a well-known content creator. So you can A.B.C. (Always Be Closing.)About Corporate BroCorporate Bro is a sketch comedy character that satirizes corporate sales life. Ross Pomerantz is the mastermind behind the character. Ross is a content creator, corporate speaker and entrepreneur from Atlanta, Georgia. He writes, produces, and stars in the sketches. He started making 6-second videos on Vine in 2013 when he started his first tech sales job at Oracle. He has now performed for companies like Dropbox, Smartsheet and Salesforce. And his YouTube, which he started in 2016, has 25M subscribers. Ross holds an MBA from Stanford University, and his full-time day job is on the leadership team at Bravado (as of 2022).What B2B Companies Can Learn From Corporate Bro: Use a percentage of your marketing budget to make funny stuff. Comedy, edutainment, whatever you want to call it. Make something just to connect with your audience, and make them laugh. Because, Colin says, “You probably have some white papers, some webinars, et cetera, and that's fine. You should have all that. But there's also that angle of, ‘All right, let's put out some other content that's a little more entertaining and relatable and fun.'” Let's face it - not many B2B companies are making their audience laugh. But there are cheeky ways to get your audience to crack a smile! The sales engagement company Sopro made a campaign called “We Love Our Clients.” The video shows a slew of clients making difficult requests, and ends with the phrase, “Sopro makes finding clients easy. You just have to deal with them.” This kind of satire creates impact and makes your brand stand out.Use a multi-channel, multi-format approach. Distribute content across multiple social media channels. Go where your audience is — whether that's Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc. And do both short and long-form videos. A great example of a multi-channel, multi-format approach is how Scratch Pad created a podcast called Beyond Quota that they collaborate on with Corporate Bro, and share episodes both on podcast streaming platforms as well as on YouTube. So, no matter what platform your audience spends time on, they'll see your content there. Partner with a well-known content creator. No matter what industry you're in, there's a content creator for you. Find somebody whose messaging would resonate with your audience and create a campaign with them. Ian says, “There's a million examples of times where people just try to borrow a celebrity's audience and that doesn't work. It's not about that. It's about co-creating something with them that is unique and special.” A great example of content co-creation is when marketing automation company Klaviyo partnered with Eli Weiss, Senior Director of CX and Retention at Jones Road Beauty, on their Less Stalking, More Talking campaign. Weiss is not just a relevant and trusted name in e-commerce, but he also shares the same customer-first philosophy as Klaviyo, making him a perfect fit for the campaign. By working together, they're leveraging both of their audiences, spreading brand awareness, building trust, and creating memorable content. It's a win-win-win…win situation.Quotes*”What you can control as a marketer is [being] consistent and repeatable. That's what [Corporate Bro] has done for a decade and that is a pathway to winning.” - Ian Faison*”What makes Corporate Bro so good is it connects with you in a way [that reminds you] not to take yourself too seriously when perhaps your job is on the line if you don't close this deal or if you don't have a good quarter.” - Colin StampsTime Stamps[1:25] Tell me more about Corporate Bro[3:02] Why are we covering Corporate Bro?[6:09] What is satire?

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jill Rowley, “Before LinkedIn and other social networks, in the sales world, ABC stood for Always Be Closing. Now, ABC means Always Be Connecting because your connections lead to your next hire, your next job, your next lead, and your next close.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/G4HxHfJK5cQ   Check Out These Highlights:   When I was trained in financial sales 40 years ago, that motto of always be closing was said repeatedly.  Glengarry Glen Ross, a movie from 1992, made this phrase mainstream and appeared that this was the correct way to approach sales conversations.  All I can say about that is, “YUK!”   About Donna Serdula:   Donna is the founder and president of Vision Board Media, a professional branding company that helps individuals and companies tell their unique stories on LinkedIn and beyond. Bringing dynamic brand storytelling to the masses and empowering people to dream big – that's the ink in her pen.    It's her Website LinkedIn-Makeover.com where she and her team of over 20 writers and coaches help people collide with opportunity and transform their lives via future-forward career branding.    She has authored two editions of LinkedIn Profile Optimization FOR DUMMIES.

This townie turned Golden State golden boy is one of our nearest and dearest, oldest and bestest. He has made a life and a family on the west coast using his charm and knack for sales as a springboard into a new, booming venture with seemingly endless possibilities.  Listen as this guest explains how losing his sales job in an ailing company propelled him into the frenetic world of cannabis sales. Brian explains how the game of cat and mouse is a huge part of the appeal of the vast world of sales—from cold call to close. On this California-based interview I grill him on the differences between CA and IL. Will this born Midwesterner ever come back to the flatlands of IL? Or will the sunshine and warm temperatures be enough to help him forget the astronomical housing costs and rising unhoused population? This trip included unforeseen torrential rains which may have influenced my dreary outlook. However, getting to see Brian and all his blond babes just solidified that he's in the right place. Flexibility, a casual environment and smooth talking help Brian go from corporate cubicles to a warzone of calls and credit card closures.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, The Venue CU.

While on vacation? While in a wedding? While giving birth? No these aren't major life milestones. They are all the places we and our fellow REALTORS have conducted business in this wacky world of real estate. On this week's episode, Heather's family trip to the Grand Canyon inspired the hosts to discuss all the places they've had the pleasure of negotiating real estate transactions, the times they felt the juice was worth the squeeze and the times it just wasn't worth it. Although the age old saying of "Want to get more business? Just go on vacation" still holds true, Heather and Kalyn come to some realizations that it might be time to set some boundaries and learn how to r-e-l-a-x (someday). Although we can't provide any tips on how to separate your work from your vacation, Heather can provide some tips on what to do on the Great American Road Trip: pack the snacks, be impressed by the elk and skip the prickly pear chocolate bar.

Stacey Hall talks with Jason Barnard about how to make sales by staying in your comfort zone. Stacey Hall is the founder of Success with Stacey Hall and has made it to #1 on the bestseller list with 5 books in several countries. Her new book is Selling From Your Comfort Zone. She is known for her myth debunking social media marketing training program "Go for YES" which has helped thousands of people increase sales, satisfaction and success. She is an acclaimed speaker who received recognition for her TEDx talk. Her mission is to help salespeople reach and connect with their ideal audience, solve their audience's problems, and leave a legacy that will live on long after she is gone.  Going beyond your comfort zone can help you achieve in a variety of areas of life. But is the same requirement necessary for sales? Hmmm … What if you can be in a situation where people are attracted to what you sell whilst you stay in your comfort zone and maintain your principles, your talents, your confidence and your power zone? The wonderful Stacey Hall shares great insights from her book, Selling From Your Comfort Zone, in this brilliant episode with Jason Barnard. She covers the new ABC's of selling: Alignment, Belief and Consistency (a lot better than Always Be Closing), and also shares her own philosophies in selling - Stacey's Scale of Sale. Stacey puts a lot of emphasis on having a comfortable story to share with the audience. You have to make sure you know why you want to sell what you are selling and have an emotional connection to it to attract sales, satisfy customers and achieve your own success. As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Stacey cheerfully turns over the virtual baton to next week's rather incredible guest Shane Hodge.

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series For some reason, the ABCs of sales ("Always Be Closing") in the world of cybersecurity sales has translated into "Always Be Creepy." Eagerness to make just a connection, forget closing, has turned into extremely forward approaches that would make anyone feel uncomfortable. This week's episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and my guests will be Steve Tran, CSO, Democratic National Committee and Matt Crouse, CISO, Taco Bell. It was recorded in front of a live audience in Santa Monica as part of the ISSA-LA Information Security Summit XII. Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Ostrich Cyber-Risk Ostrich Cyber-Risk “Birdseye” is a unified qualitative and quantitative cyber risk management application that allows you to quickly assess, prioritize and quantify your organization's financial and operational risks in real-time, in one place. Benchmarked against industry-standards (NIST, CIS, ISO), Birdseye simulates risk scenarios, continuously tracks roadmap progress, and creates shareable reports. In this episode: What do security leaders do when they can't push through security initiatives they know should be done? Is this a real concern for CISOs, and if so, how does a CISO handle their staff when best efforts get thwarted? What's your advice for new CISOs when dealing with unsolicited sales emails from security vendors? Do they just ignore it all? Should they filter it out?

Work faster. Work smarter. Work harder. Work more. These things are no longer the answer. Work has fundamentally changed, especially for knowledge workers, and the answer lies in working differently. Collaboration in the workplace is key.  Are you the kind of person who needs some data? Employees working for companies with effective internal and external collaboration initiatives are about 22% more likely to believe that their employer cares about their morale, thus making collaborative employees more loyal to their organizations than their peers. And companies that promote collaborative working environments are 5x more likely to be high performers than companies with fewer employee collaboration initiatives. Data is power! Information is power!  Collaboration is the new competition. That's why it's the title of CEO and Little Bird Momma, Priscilla McKinney's forthcoming book. In this podcast episode, Priscilla chats with LBM Executive VP, Ashley Le Blanc, about elements of the collaboration process and what you can do to hone your collaboration skills. You may have heard a thousand and one mental health professionals, yoga teachers, spiritual gurus and gangsters alike harp on the benefits of gratitude. They're on to something, folks. It's not Koolaid.  The mindset shift of gratitude leads us toward offering shout-outs to the people who have helped us along the way. We all know that we didn't get to where we are today alone. Shoutouts sets the ball rolling in the collaboration process. Go from the ABC to the ABH. Turn that ABC of sales phrase, “Always Be Closing,” and morph it into ABH - Always Be Helping. Shifting your mindset from "what is best for the company" to "what is best for the client" or "what is best for the industry," shines a new light on the value of collaboration.  Ah, there's so much more to share! Collaboration in the workplace is our jam. Strawberry, blueberry, apricot, you name it. The collaboration process is what we're all about here at Little Bird Marketing. So flit on over to the podcast and spread the juicy jam of collaboration all over your warm buttered toast. Did we take that metaphor too far? Or just far enough?

This week we dive into the absolute classic "Always Be Closing" scene from the David Mamet masterpiece Glengarry Glen Ross.

Discovery calls are thought to be a challenging element for almost any salesperson. But what if we were to tell you there's a way to see more success with them? In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by the founder of 7th Level Jeremy Miner to discuss discovery call techniques that don't scare away your prospect (because we don't want that, trust me.) What makes a bad discovery? Sellers are taught the selling “ABC's - Always Be Closing. But with today's cautious buyers, this strategy doesn't always come across well. To be great at sales, skip the C and learn the ABD's of selling - Always Be Disarming. What triggers a prospect to buy or not to buy? Salespeople trigger behaviors by what they're asking (and, more importantly, what they aren't asking.) Salespeople frequently come across as too enthusiastic, talking about their solution too early in the conversation.  While you should be excited about what you sell, it shouldn't be the point that it comes across as fake. Keep the joy internal.  According to behavioral science, prospects subconsciously pick up on nonverbal cues in the first 7-12 seconds of conversation. If you come across as aggressive, needy, or attached and don't know the right questions, it triggers the brain to get rid of you. It's not them; it's you. Come across as neutral, unbiased, and calm. Ask the right questions at the right time to encourage a prospect to open up to you. Don't focus on making the sale. Instead, focus on determining if your solution can help. Jeremy's advice? Never start a conversation by asking someone how they're doing - it's a disingenuous greeting.  Instead, start the meeting and get to business. Spend the first meeting determining if their organization is even a company that fits what you're able to do. If you enter the conversation assuring them that you're going to solve their problem, you'll never find out if that's true. Stay unbiased. Learn the right questions that trigger people to be pulled in. When Jeremy first started sales, he struggled. It took practice and time learning to understand how to perform well. Most objections you get are triggered by you, the salesperson. When the conversation starts, you need to determine their current state and where they want to go. As a salesperson, you need to show prospects the gap between where they are and where they want to go and reveal that gap. Selling is all about change. But human beings don't like change (even though we say we do.)
