Telling your sales team what not to do is not the way to teach them how to do a better job. In this episode of INSIDE Inside Sales, Darryl welcomes Lee Salz, the brilliant sales strategist and accomplished author, to discuss what it means to sell different and why the word “not” is a big no-no. Contrary to expectations, the “different” part of the equation is actually something that should be the gospel of sales - for example, looking at each touchpoint and every interaction with your prospects, or finding a way to outsell, outperform, and outsmart the competition. Darryl and Lee offer actionable tips you can actually implement on how to ask for referrals, generate leads, sell virtually, handle discovery meetings, and increase conversion rates. https://info.vanillasoft.com/subscribe-to-the-inside-inside-sales-podcast (Subscribe now and hear what you should be doing (and not what you shouldn't) in order to improve your results.)
