If you want to elevate from tactical selling to true strategic impact, this episode delivers the roadmap.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:45] Focus beyond standard research—find personal executive insights to connect meaningfully.[00:01:15] Strategic sellers must bridge technical solutions to business outcomes.[00:02:00] Map value by stakeholder: technical director, VP, CIO—tailor it to each.[00:03:30] Selling to multi-divisional organizations requires managing multiple champions, needs, and value props.[00:04:15] Ecosystems are interdependent—solutions impact multiple departments.[00:05:00] Use the “M and W Effect” to navigate accounts vertically and horizontally.[00:06:00] Prevent single-threading—schedule multiple meetings at once and communicate openly.QUOTES[00:01:20] “Anyone can go read a 10-K, but go find personal tidbits that help you build a champion at every level.”[00:01:55] “You have to translate what you do into business issues—or you're not going to be a good strategic account rep.”[00:02:40] “If you think in a strategic sense, mapping value by stakeholder becomes second nature.”[00:04:00] “It's a skill to unify multiple divisions with multiple stakeholders into a single ROI conversation.”[00:05:10] “If you're not moving up and down in the org chart, you won't make it in strategic accounts.”[00:06:05] “Be transparent—reach high and wide without being sneaky.

Elay Cohen, who helped scale Salesforce from $300M to $3B as SVP of Sales Productivity, takes us behind the scenes of his journey founding SalesHood, an AI-driven sales enablement platform transforming how companies prepare their teams for success.The numbers are staggering - SalesHood customers are achieving 231% more enablement activities with 45% fewer staff, and seeing win rates jump from 57% to over 100% increases through AI-powered training. But this conversation goes deeper than metrics, revealing the fundamental shift happening in sales today.We explore the critical distinction between leading and lagging indicators in sales performance, why the first five minutes of a customer meeting determines success, and how the best strategic account managers are co-creating compelling events with their champions. Eli shares practical frameworks like MEDDICC for managing complex deals and explains why digital sales rooms are becoming essential for modern selling.Beyond the tactical insights, Eli takes us through his entrepreneurial journey - including the moment VCs told him "the sales tech market isn't big enough" (they were spectacularly wrong), and why trusting your gut sometimes trumps what the data tells you. His unexpected inspiration from both Steve Jobs and Taylor Swift reveals the perfect blend of minimalist precision and community-building that drives his approach to business.Whether you're in sales, marketing, enablement, or leadership, this conversation offers a masterclass in how AI is transforming go-to-market execution while making the fundamental human elements of selling more important than ever.

Real-life examples underscore the vital role of strategic communication in fostering successful sales outcomes!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Tone and Energy are Crucial: Establishing the right tone and energy at the start of a call can significantly influence the customer's responsiveness. ✅ Word Choice Matters: Phrases such as "tell me" and "I'm just wondering" can inspire empathy and facilitate open dialogue with customers. ✅ Listening for Genuine Interest: Picking up on subtle cues in a customer's questions can reveal their level of interest and intent to purchase. ✅ Leveraging Storytelling: Effective storytelling can bridge communication gaps, making the sales process more relatable and engaging. ✅ Handling Objections with Empathy: Questions control conversation; using them strategically can navigate and manage challenging interactions.     About LA ‘The Blind Master' WilliamsL.A.

Understanding buyer psychology and leveraging storytelling can overcome common objections and build trust. Consistent learning and adaptation are vital for overcoming skepticism and improving skills over time.   Enhancing Phone Sales Through Tone and Inflection In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, mastering phone communication isn't just a skill—it's an art form. LA Williams, VP of Dealer Synergy, highlights a common pitfall: the lack of energy and enthusiasm when taking inbound calls. He humorously points out, "Our energy is not right. We'd be like Synergy Motors." Injecting energy into your voice is crucial for setting the right tone and capturing the caller's attention from the get-go. Williams emphasizes paying attention to not only what customers say, but also how they say it. The subtleties in tone, choice of words, and even pauses can reveal much about a caller's intent. As Williams advises, “You gotta hear,” meaning that a salesperson must attune their ears to these nuances. By asking thoughtful questions and engaging in a way that reflects the customer's language, you can build immediate rapport. "I'm just curious," or "Tell me more," are phrases that both engage the customer and provide deeper insights into their needs and desires. Such nuances extend beyond intro calls. Consider how energy and tone contribute when transitioning a skeptical caller to a quality lead. LA shares an all-too-common scenario: converting callers who've had negative automotive experiences into enthusiastic potential buyers. This transformation relies on infusing conversations with genuine warmth and curiosity, ensuring prospects feel heard and valued.   Storytelling as a Sales Tool In a world where buyers often distrust salespeople, storytelling stands out as a powerful tactic to establish credibility and build rapport. Williams delves into the art of sharing relevant narratives to sway hesitant buyers, emphasizing, “It's so interesting that you say that.” This technique helps to validate a customer's feelings while seamlessly pivoting the conversation towards a positive outcome. Consider the tale of the couple skeptical about getting a good trade-in value. By recounting a past customer's success story, Williams not only builds trust but illustrates dealership expertise and personal investment in customer satisfaction. These anecdotes aren't fabricated but strategically structured to highlight real customer experiences, as Williams illustrates: "If we could do something like that for him, just imagine what we could do for you." This approach illuminates how integrating relatable stories into phone sales can dismantle buyer apprehensions. By connecting emotionally through shared experiences, salespeople can gently guide conversations, allaying fears and deepening engagement. The authenticity of sharing and genuine curiosity about the customer's own journey can transform skeptics into committed, enthusiastic participants in the buying process.   Cultivating Trust in Short Timeframes One of the most intriguing discussions in the podcast revolves around establishing trust quickly over the phone. In phone sales, time is a luxury often absent, making initial impressions paramount. According to Williams, it's vital to repeat the customer's name, entering into what he calls "rapport mode." "Outside of someone's own voice," he explains, "their sweetest sound is their name." Repetition and the correct use of vocabulary also play significant roles in fostering trust. Simple phrases like "That's a great question" can elevate a standard interaction into a personalized experience. These words, paired with targeted storytelling and empathetic response strategies, can captivate and convert callers into loyal customers within minutes. Such approaches extend into broader strategic considerations, such as handling objections and turning skeptics into believers. LA poignantly shares a revelation: often, a sales representative's aversion to phone sales stems from misaligned expectations or an incomplete understanding of call dynamics. By revealing underlying metrics and demonstrating real success cases, Williams consistently shifts perceptions, opening the minds of even the most skeptical callers to what's genuinely possible. Ultimately, the beauty of phone sales lies in blending personal empathy with sharp, strategic communication. The podcast illustrates that with attention, adaptability, and authentic connection, sales professionals can break through barriers. As LA Williams shows, the journey to mastering phone sales is as much about growth in personal effectiveness as it is about understanding buyer psychology. As he closes the episode, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” inviting us to elevate our game and transform every call into an opportunity for lasting impact.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.
