In this episode, I’m going to be talking about that internal dialogue on why about three-quarters of our clients just don't connect with us, what it comes down to in our personality, and how we can reverse the sale to succeed.

In this episode, I’m going to dive into the awkward silence that we as salespeople sometimes find ourselves in with our prospects. The first thing that comes to mind for most of us is to fill that silence by answering on behalf of the prospect or providing them with more information. That is a complete no-no because it causes prospects to start questioning your integrity, which then leads to loss of sales. Tune in as I share the powerful tool that you can use to curb all that and get the commitments you’re looking for. Key Takeaways: Getting the silent treatment on a sales call (01:47) Filling dead air to try and make a sale (03:20) Coaching prospects is pushing it too far (06:09) Allowing the prospect to fill in the awkward silence (08:24) -- Additional Resources: The Legendary Closers Facebook Group Unlock the Secrets to Closing Your Prospects How to Master the Art of Selling By Tom Hopkins -- You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, I’m going to address the question of whether or not a salesperson’s dress code matters when it comes to closing sales. Back when I was selling primarily over the telephone, I just remember being in a suit and the most uncomfortable shoes that just put me in a bad state, and I wasn’t comfortable as a closer. All I wanted was to gain respect through my abilities, not what I looked like. The truth is, if you’re selling over the phone, it’s not necessarily true that a certain dress code will make you a better salesperson, help you show up in a different manner, or even make you worker harder. Listen in to learn how you should present yourself to your prospects. Key Takeaways: Can your prospects see you over the phone? (01:51) First impressions are more about professionalism (06:27) Closing over the phone is all about mindset (09:32) It’s all about the environment, what you look like to yourself and confidence (10:45) -- Additional Resources: The Legendary Closers Facebook Group Unlock the Secrets to Closing Your Prospects -- You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about responsibility in sales. Most salespeople believe that once they close a sale, they should forget them and let fulfillment do the rest, but the fact is, when a salesperson doesn't take on more responsibility, they lose big time. When I was just a few years in sales, the less responsibility I tried to take on, the less resources and less opportunity I saw. I started getting complaints from people who were joining our coachings, trainings, seminars, or events, and that got me in big trouble. Eventually I figured out a way to take on more responsibility and achieve much more without putting in more effort, and that’s what I wanna teach you here today, so listen and learn. Key Takeaways: Salespeople can take on more responsibility and freedom at the same time (01:11) Overperforming to quell the complaints (04:59) Setting the coach/client up for success (09:05) Responsibility is all about having a better ability to respond (11:26) Closing more sales efficiently (13:40) Fewer callbacks, less complaints and more testimonials is possible (15:35) -- Additional Resources: The Legendary Closers Facebook Group Unlock the Secrets to Closing Your Prospects -- You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

When I was younger in sales and making money, I didn't have a respect for it and I didn't understand the speed that money works at. I lived by a very misleading code taught to me by one of my greatest mentors where I totally believed that if I didn't have any money that I would work harder, but to really succeed in building my business, I had to put an end to that by changing my mindset.

Proper framing is necessary in ensuring that one can actually control the sales process and have an easier time producing a sale.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how salespeople can provide value to their prospects in order to win them over and close sales.

It all stems from a closer changing his front end pitch and offer, and I will explain what that does to the prospect and the whole sales process in general.
