What Will You Do When You Encounter Resistance?

On this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill gives you some simple ways to battle any resistance you encounter in the sales process.

You battle resistance by:

a) knowing what it is

b) strategizing on how to minimize it upfront, and c) creating a process that does that.

Know where your customer is on the journey. If you don’t where they are, they might resist than for no other reason than they don’t know “how to buy.”

When Deals Drag On, You Must Change The Game

I had a call today from a client who was struggling to keep a deal moving.

That’s not unusual if you’ve been in sales for longer than…say…3 hours, is it?

What was unusual is the prospect always agreed to see James when he called, BUT nothing moved.

Lots of social visits – but no movement. Been there?

He had to keep telling his manager that the deal was still alive. But his manager was growing skeptical, as he should have been.

What He Did

How Often Do We Buy into False Assumptions?

It’s ridiculous how many assumptions we buy into throughout our life.

Assumptions are healthy. They allow us to navigate the world while not thinking about each and every decision. HOWEVER, the curse of that is that we assume things to be true that just aren’t. On this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill gives you some deeper things to think about when it comes to our judgment and beliefs. You’ll begin to realize where you buy into old thinking.

He’ll also detail a handful of these assumptions that you must alter if you are to 2X your income this year.

Episode #495: The Dreaded Commodity Dungeon

On this episode of Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan take a listener call from Paula who poses the question of, “how we extract ourselves from the commodity dungeon with our pricing and our offer.”

The guys tackle Paula’s question head on and acknowledge that it happens to virtually every company, and maybe even in every sales process.

The customer sees the same things from other vendors, but doesn’t see the uniqueness and differences, and it’s up to you to decide how to portray them.

The guys give several tips and exercises on things you can do to help get in touch with your true value, and then some ideas on how to communicate it.
