Show Notes

Episode highlights…

True foundations of trust-based selling
Sales are lost at the beginning, not the end
Understanding how to unlock the game – shifting your mindset, letting go of the end goal of the sale, focus only on being present with people, and build deep trust so that people will always tell you the truth
Debunking these sales myths: 1. Sales is a numbers game; 2. Sales are lost at the end of the process; 3. Rejection is part of the sales game
Ways you trigger rejection with sales opportunities
Understanding the words and language that triggers rejection
Instead of moving people towards the sale, let people decide which direction things go
Goal is to get to the truth, not the outcome you want
Using language that reduces pressure (never use the phrase “follow up” again – instead use “do you have any feedback on what’s already happened)
Learn the words and phrases to never use again in sales
Trust building and relationship building are mutually exclusive (focus on trust at the beginning and save the relationship building until later)
You can’t offer your solution until someone tells you their problem and asks you for help
Goal is not a sale – it’s to get the truth
Beware being addicted to the “drug” hopium
Potential clients ask one question: “Do I trust them?”
Fall out of love with your solution and in love with their problem
You must slow down the process including the pace of your speaking
You must care about the person and their problems until they say, “How can you help me?”
Be a truth teller in sales – You must tell people what their real problem and impact is
Differentiate based upon your approach (not your solution)
