Finding The Compelling Reason For Change

/in , , , , /by

We so love to get to the features and benefits of what we sell, that we RARELY take the time to find out what’s really going on in the prospect’s life. But, how can you match your solution to their problem – if you don’t know their problem in the first place?

What’s The Big Idea?

/in , , , , /by

The process of creating and documenting ideas is elusive, isn’t it?

Do I keep it in a journal? Do I keep it on my phone? Do I write a quick article about it to keep it fresh?

And what about the BIG IDEAS? How do you “work them out”? Do you even get them?

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill addresses a BIG IDEA around your customer – and how to develop it so it’s usable.

Episode #461: Tenacious

/in , , , /by

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan answer a CoVideo Mailbag question about the difference between being tenacious and being persistent. We always seem to laud the sales person who doesn’t take no for an answer, and in so doing, can be annoying.

Nobody wants to be that person, however some of the training that we’ve gotten over the years encourages us to do that. But not so today!

Bill and Bryan go over some different ways to look at this whole tenacious and overbearing element, and give you some ideas on how to be effective without being somebody that you aren’t.
