Paul had the pleasure of interviewing Anthony Iannarino about his new book, The Negativity Fast, and is excited to share Anthony's practical advice to salespeople facing tough times. Show Notes “…get rid of the negative part by doing something positive. …find somebody to help and see if you can lift them up. I promise you you'll feel a whole lot better.” Anthony Iannarino “…it's the trajectory and the gratitude that you have for your life that changes who you are, and now everything is so different because you've had the trauma.” Anthony Iannarino “When you lose a deal, you should not be negative about that at all because there's two things that can happen: you either decide that you have a loss, or you have a lesson… Focus on the lesson... What would you do different?” Anthony Iannarino “If you understand they were rejecting an offer and not you—much easier for you to process that.” Anthony Iannarino To learn more about Anthony Iannarino, go to TheSalesBlog.com.

Anthony Iannarino is the author or multiple best-selling sales books and one of the best sales thinkers I know. Check him out at TheSalesBlog.com. In today's episode, Anthony and I talk about what the Next Normal for sellers will look like and how to prepare for it.  Join us to dive into what it means to sell with a purpose. And why that is so relevant today. As a BONUS, we talk about radical steps we can take to dramatically improve sales manager performance

      "If you don't like change you are going like irrelevance even less" - Eric Shinsake #AnthonyIannarino is the author of 3 best selling books #TheOnlySalesGuideYoullEverNeed #TheLostArtOfClosing and #EatTheirLunch. He is also author of TheSalesBlog. Anthony speaks a world of uncommon sense. We discuss the many and significant shortcomings of many modern sellers who are well intentioned but misdirected. At 25, Anthony experienced a serious illness that prevented him from driving for over 2 years which gave him time to study everything he could about selling and sales. His book "Eat Their Lunch" is a masterpiece for every salesperson who occupies a place in a crowded, competitive, commoditised market and wants to displace incumbent competitors.  Anthony discusses the importance of uncovering what your customer values and shows you how to elevate your selling significantly so you engage  with them where they are. His message pares away the distractions salespeople create to have conversations with prospects about the implications of not changing. The prospecting cadence he describes is elegantly simple and effective to help you break into accounts so you can displace incumbents. He describes the signs which make accounts ripe for displacement: Complacency Entitlement Apathy Lack of communication Systematic misunderstanding Unaddressed systemic challenges We talk about how you earn the position of a genuine trusted advisor. You build trust and you offer good, relevant advice. You have to be interesting, think deeply, well-read and capable of being a trusted advisor. He discusses how to help the individual salesperson perform better in front of the customer, when it really matters. This is a genuinely important conversation with a master of what works sustainably in the real world of competitive selling. Lack of accountability and consequences are at the root cause of non-performance of individuals and businesses. Take personal responsibility for your own learning. As managers you must be willing to enforce learning and study as part of every salesperson's role or you deserve what you tolerate. Use the resources available to you to help your team improve. Build a culture of learning, of accountability, of personal responsibility, eliminate excuses and stop tolerating low standards of personal performance. Impose your will on the outcome that is needed. "Stop focusing on measuring lagging indicators. They are an autopsy" - Anthony Iannarino Focus behaviour on what matters. Measure that. Do your research. Make sure your salespeople do their research. Be better informed than your competition. Be better informed than your prospects so that you can help them understand why and how they need to change. Ensure your salespeople are planning, well organised, rigorous in their productive behaviours making more time available for selling, disciplined about prospecting because they only have 2 functions - create opportunities or advance opportunities towards a decision.

  I was honored to talk with Anthony Iannarino in this episode called, Outbound Lives: Take Control of your Pipeline and Beat Your Competitors to Market. Anthony is at TheSalesBlog.com. He's an author of numerous books including the most recent book, Eat Their Lunch: Winning Customers Away From Your Competition. He is one of the co-founders of the OutBound Conference, which we discuss but I started out by asking, "Anthony, we've got to get the elephant in the room. We got to cover it first. Why, Anthony Iannarino, do you hate social selling?" Anthony's give us his answer:  Here's a taste... listen in for his whole response and a lot more! I don't know if you know this or not, but social selling is dead, and I would challenge you to go find anybody that's really talking about it even on LinkedIn anymore. It all went away and was replaced by account-based marketing and now what is being called the digital transformation of sales, which so far nobody can explain to me. __________________________________ Sales Pipeline Radio is sponsored and produced by Heinz Marketing on the Funnel Radio Channel.  Each week at 11:30 am Pacific time (plus 8 hours UTC Time) Matt Heinz interviews the best and brightest minds in sales and Marketing.  If you would like to be a guest on Sales Pipeline Radio send an email to: sheena@Heinzmarketing.com
