Episode #482: Should I Quote First or Last?

/in , , , , , /by

On this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey & Bryan Neale answer a listener question from John in Washington DC. He’s new in the SAaS space and has figured out where his problem is but not yet what to do about it. The issue is, “Should he be first or last to propose?”

As you might guess, Bill & Bryan take the question and bend it all sorts of ways to come up with some good suggestions for John. This is really less about the SAas space, and more about how to handle the ever-occurring stall of “not now.”

Are Questions The Answer?

/in , , , /by

We were taught early in our sales career (at least I was) to ask lots of questions. But is that really the right move early in the process?

If you follow the advice of some of the big training companies, then the answer is YES. Ask lots of questions? BUT, I’m not so sure.

The impetus of this episode was a question I was asked on one of my LinkedIn Groups that had to do with a listener’s frustration with not being able to get the prospect to open up and answer them. Listen to the advice I dish out and see if you agree.
