5 Foundational Philosophies of Selling

/in , , , , /by

Coaching is defined as, “releasing a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping people learn, not teaching.”

On this week’s 2X Podcast, Sales Trainer and Host Bill Caskey discusses a recent client coaching opportunity. This was a brand new client who hadn’t had much in the way of professional development coaching. His first questions to this client were:

What is your Philosophy in selling?

What are your Principles?

On this episode, Bill will give you 5 Foundational Sales Philosophies that you must adopt if you want to 2X your business.

Is it Time For a Cool Change?

/in , , , , , , /by

Probably shouldn’t make any 70’s yacht rock references (“Cool Change” by Little River Band), but this episode is all about change. And the main question is: Given what’s occurring in the world around you, do you need to change?

Bill gives 5 insights on how to look at yourself and rate where the change should happen.

Good episode if you’re in the “planning phase” for 2018.

Episode #473: Artificially Deflating Yourself Is Worse Than Inflation

/in , , , , /by

In this episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address part two of their Inflation/Deflation series.

Today’s episode is how we often deflate our own power in the sales process. Most of the time it happens in negotiation, the sales process itself or when we need to find other decision-makers to go call on.

Bill and Bryan give you some ideas on how to see yourself and your role to help you navigate through this tendency and temptation to self-deflate.

Episode #472: Arrogance, Self-Importance and Self-Awareness

/in , , , , /by

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, veteran sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale discuss a situation that came up for both of them in the past week with different clients. In both cases, the guys felt like there was a heightened sense of self-importance that was larger than reality.

In this first of a two part series, Bill and Bryan give you some ideas on how you can catch yourself if you start to slip into this “lack of self-awareness” around your role.

Part two, coming next week, is about how we often deflate our own self-importance, which is just as equally a problem.
