If tiny word choices can have big effects on crisis negotiations, can how we talk have an impact on sales conversations as well?  Please note that during this talk Professor Stokoe played clips from real conversations, including those with people in distress. Although they were anonymised we have taken the extra step of completely distorting them to protect the people in question's privacy.

In ‘The Network Effect' Phil was joined by Introhive's Dr Ryan O'Sullivan and NTT's Julia Munn to discuss how account managers can leverage their networks to generate more value.  The conversation focuses on three types of network: your network of contacts within your client's organisation, the people you know from other departments in your own company, and everyone else you know externally. When nurtured and deployed correctly all these networks can help to massively grow your accounts.   Highlights include:  [13:26] – Identifying the relationships you need to build is as important as nurturing existing ones [20:23] – Mapping people in your client's business to people in your own [43:58] – Look to connect with Analysts who know about your client  You can find a recording of Ryan's talk from Global Sales Transformation XIX, which was mentioned during the webinar, on our YouTube channel.

#sandler #sandlerworldwide Are you looking to up your sales game?  In this episode, Collin Mitchell, VP of Sales at Lithium and host of the Sales Transformation Podcast, joins the show to talk about the power of selling to the person and not the persona.   In today's tech-driven world, it's easy to get lost in a sea of AI and tech tools. But Colin reminds us that the key to success is tailoring the sales process to the individual customer based on their personality and what they care about. He shares valuable insights on how to build a connection with customers, from prospecting to negotiating and closing.   So if you're ready to take your sales game to the next level, make sure to join this episode!   Timestamps:  0:00:18 - Selling to the Person and Not the Persona with Colin Mitchell 0:02:23 - The Power of Human Selling in the Age of AI 0:04:14 - Exploring the Benefits of AI for Sales Teams 0:08:02 - Exploring the Benefits of Technology in the Sales Process 0:13:57 - Leveraging AI and Human Instincts 0:20:56 - Selling to the Person, Not the Persona 0:22:44 - Applying Sales Methodology Differently to Every Call 0:24:46 - Succeeding at Selling to the Person, Not the Persona   Key Highlights:  Human salespeople are most valuable in tailoring the sales process to the individual customer, not just a general persona.

This can include early prospecting, marketing automation, conversational intelligence, and follow-up and closing tactics. Use technology to enhance the sales process, not replace it entirely. AI can be used to read scripts, but human judgment is still valuable in sales. =========================================   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@SandlerWorldwide/videos  Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment!   =========================================   Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/  Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr   =========================================  

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE…If you got people who are out, and people who are on the edge, which one do you hit first? Are you going to take the same approach to win them back?

People who have that reason, are your at-risk customers, hit them up first, and then after you do that, use that knowledge to strengthen retention protocols.”Connect with DanDan Pfister | Winback Labs | WinbackLabs.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

STOP BLAMING THE TOOL, AND START GETTING YOUR SH*T TOGETHERMany sellers or even sales leaders have the tendency to blame their failure on the tool they're using, then go out buying another tool, and the downward spiral goes on. So Collin says STOP, and figure out where YOU failed and start working on it, not the tool. Listen up today as Collin also talks about the shiny object syndrome and how you can avoid it, all these, only here in the latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals? Start selling the way your buyers want to buy with Humantic AI! Stop sending boring sales e-mails and start sending personalized GIFs and Memes with VIDU.io!TRANSFORMING MOMENTSCOLLIN: Stop blaming the tool and start getting your sh*t together“You can't just keep blaming things on the tool and then buying a new tool, especially if you're a sales leader, your leadership is only gonna buy that story once, maybe twice, but eventually, they're gonna realize it's you that don't have your sh*t together, and it's not the tool that's broken.”COLLIN: Think of the must-haves than the nice-to-haves“Tools are going to be strong, they're going to have strengths in whatever their core competency is, and if they can bolt some other things on there to make it easier so you don't have to have multiple tools, whatever that additional feature set is, it's probably not going to be their strongest. So it really just depends on, what the most important things like must-haves are versus nice-to-haves.”Connect with LaxmanLaxman Papineni | Outplay | OutplayHQ.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

IF IT'S NOT EASY TO USE, THEN IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD CHOOSEImagine going to a sneaker store with 50 pairs, all the same design, only they are in different color combinations. That is how the market for tools looks like today. So how would you choose one? Laxman talks about an interesting 80-20 rule that everyone should hear about, plus why it is still better to pick the one that's easy to use, and you can learn all of these in this latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals? Start selling the way your buyers want to buy with Humantic AI! Stop sending boring sales e-mails and start sending personalized GIFs and Memes with VIDU.io!TRANSFORMING MOMENTSLAXMAN: Tools have very little difference from each other“Every tool is the same, almost like so everyone has almost similar features. Probably one or two extra features, as you said those are and I'm calling them bells and whistles and you've said shiny objects, but otherwise, everyone is trying to solve the same problem with the almost similar feature set.”LAXMAN: If it's not easy to use, don't buy it“Salespeople are fed up with all these different tools and all these different processes. So they don't feel all this technology in our world is making their life easy. In fact, it's the opposite way. So every buyer will start focusing on what are those tools that will help my sales rep sell easily and get that numbers.”Connect with LaxmanLaxman Papineni | Outplay | OutplayHQ.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok
