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.

/in , , , , , /by

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan begin the planning process for 2019, but they start in a completely different way than you’re used to.

The first step in preparation of next year is to take inventory of the beliefs that we might have in sales that hold us back. Then the next step is to begin to release those beliefs and in their place, insert beliefs that are more conducive to higher achievement.

If you’re interested in bringing Bill or Bryan or both into your company for a year-end sales training, send us a note at [email protected] and we’ll get back with you to discuss your team!

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill deals with a problem that we ALL have, but most likely don’t know they have. The problem is the stories that run in our mind. 

As Bill seeks to help you 2X your business, it seems odd not to talk about the deadly roadblocks on the journey, namely, our beliefs about ourselves. Bill gives you a framework of how to come to grips with what those stories are and how they could hold us back.

Three Tips That Will Improve Your Mindset Right Now

/in , , , , , /by

I’ve heard many authors say that once they write a book, they never look at it again. That is definitely not me. I wrote Same Game New Rules over 12 years ago, but I still refer to it when I want to create content for a blog or to offer people useful advice.

I often find myself referring back to Chapter 20 in Same Games New Rules. This chapter is one of my favorites because I discuss the laws of money. It is vital that you understand the laws of money if you want to improve your work ethic and your mindset.

Law #1: The less you care about money, the more you’ll make.

When you become needy of money or business, you push away the very people who can help you. If you approach your client with more interest in solving problems than getting money, and the client is someone you can and want to help, you’ll automatically attract more business and money to you than you ever thought possible.

Law # 2: Push your clients too hard and their money will leave with them.

Your goal should be to create an environment in which your client pulls you along. The optimum strategy is to have your prospect selling you on why he needs you. On your first call, simply lay out your intent with a non-threatening, servant-like attitude.

During this time, resist the temptation to close the deal. Even when you know you can help, continue to explore options with your client, allowing him to pull you along. Never get more excited than your prospect.

Law #3 If you trap your clients, they’ll run.

When you pursue a sale in the traditional way, you, in essence, stand over your client, trapping them so that it is nowhere for them to go but out the door. Your goal should always be to leave your client an escape hatch.
