Andy Paul nearly didn't make it past the sales training class in his first job after college because he was seen as too introverted and analytical. Yet, over the past three decades, he's excelled as an author, sales leader, speaker, and consultant by embracing his distinctive style and approach. He has helped improve the performance of sales teams handling products ranging from multi-million-dollar communications networks to sports memorabilia, working with startups and Fortune 1000 companies. With experience across global markets and various sales channels, Andy now shares his insights to help businesses build successful teams and reach their goals.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy interview Andy Paul, renowned sales expert and author of ‘Sell Without Selling Out'. They discuss how the sales landscape is evolving in the current "post-trust" world. Andy advocates for an approach that prioritizes understanding customer needs and offering genuine value rather than leading with a hard-sell pitch. This conversation explores how sellers can redefine their roles to help clients clarify their goals and solve challenges through human-centered connections. Together, they emphasize that sales professionals who act as trusted advisors will not only achieve their quotas but also transform the perception of the sales profession itself.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity Over Tactics: Buyers value genuine connections and are tired of sales tactics that don't address their needs.Helping vs. Selling: True sales success lies in understanding the client's goals and providing valuable insights that guide their decision-making.Reinventing the Sales Process: Sales stages must align more closely with the buyer's journey, focusing on solutions rather than pitching products.Weak Ties & Strong Ties: A salesperson can provide new perspectives and insights by acting as a weak tie in the customer's network.Slow Down to Sell Faster: Building relationships and deeply understanding the buyer's needs might require multiple conversations, but it's essential for building trust and winning business.QUOTES"Selling is not helping. Selling is selling. Helping is helping. Both are required, but we need to get them in the right order.""If buyers are talking to you, it's because they need to. So you need to figure out what they need from you.""Sales professionals who see themselves as trusted advisors will transform how their clients see the sales profession."Learn more about Andy Paul: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realandypaul/Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrellamy/Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylevine1992/Website: https://www.sellingfromtheheart.net/Get the New Book That Will Help You Sell More...

They prefer to start with a demo or a presentation, and they don't get that the very fact that they want to pitch something creates distrust.""If you want to lead your sales team in runs batted in and be known as the heavy hitter, walk from first base to second base.
