Episode #530: How Soon Should I Reach Out?

/in , , , , , , /by

You just made a new connection on LinkedIn that would be a great prospect, is it too soon to reach out?

On this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bryan Neale and Bill Caskey take on that very listener question from Jean-Pierre in the Netherlands. Too soon and you could ruin a connection, too late and you could miss an opportunity.

Bill and Bryan give some thoughts on this situation and they give some indicators they’ve noticed when it’s the right time to reach out and when it’s time to let it be.

Bill recently had a coaching client reach out to discuss an issue she was having. She has consistently been at the top of her sales team and just had her best year ever in 2018. The issue she is having is that she can’t seem to get back her motivation or energy to make 2019 even better.

After talking with her, Bill realized that there was a deeper level issue going on and he needed to uncover what was really going on.

Are You Journey Minded?

/in , , , , /by

On this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill gives some ideas on how you can become Journey Minded in the sales process. This is how you take your prospect from here (where they are) to there (where they want to be).

In a world where prospects are demanding more and different, it’s really easy to become obscure and irrelevant as a sales professional. That’s why it’s so important to constantly be adapting to change.

One of the biggest areas people struggle in is how they see themselves in the customer journey.

Selling System VS. Philosophy

/in , , , , , /by

On this episode of The 2X Podcast, I jump into having a selling system vs. having a sales philosophy. I discuss 5 Elements of a sales methodology and then give you a philosophic approach you can bring to that element.

Sandler, SPIN, Challenger, it doesn’t matter what selling methodology you go by, they all have their own flaws. While it’s great to have a system on how to usher your prospect through the sales process, I want to give you a substitute attitude and approach.

Episode #525: Can You Summon the Courage When You Need It?

/in , , , , /by

In this week’s episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address the notion of courage.

They play a clip of Brené Brown, who was interviewed by Michael Gervais, on the Finding Mastery Podcast. Brené talks about the number one attribute that people are looking to leaders for, but we think the same thing applies to sales professionals, you have to have courage.

Bill and Bryan give you six areas that they believe courage can come in.
