AND WE’RE BACK! – Scott “Professor Plum” Plum of the Minnesota Sales Institute & Bill Hellkamp of REACH Development Systems

Have you ever had a sales call where you felt desperate to close the deal? Where you REALLY needed to make this sale? Or one where you felt the buyer had all of the control? Did you make those deals? Were you able to maintain profit margin or did you end up giving it all away? How we view ourselves and our status in the marketplace can have a great effect on the outcome of a sales call.

On today’s show, Scott and I will discuss Sales Posture and Confidence and much more on episode 412 of the Get in the Door Podcast.

Imagine you the just held the best prospect meeting ever. They asked you all the right questions. You gave them all the right answers. There were no questions. It was a “drop the mic” moment.  Silence. Then they said. “Well, thank you for coming in. I can tell you really know your stuff. You taught me a lot. I can see why so many people pick you. I will think this over and get back to you.”  Now you want to pick up the mic and ask – “what happened?”

In this episode, Bill and I will investigate the “I need to think about it” objection and how you can deal with it, and much more.

Acquiring a new customer can cost 4 to 5 times as much as retaining a current customer. Meanwhile, the success rate of selling new product or services to an existing customer is over 50% whereas the success rate of getting a NEW customer may be as low as 5%. Obviously it is worth our time to concentrate on developing the accounts we already have.

On today’s show, Scott and I will discuss Major Account Strategy and a bunch of other information designed for the sales professional on episode 410.

What is your first reaction to your prospect’s objection?  How do you response in a way to build confidence – in you, your product, and the marketplace?  Once we label the objection and follow a process to seek the real reason, we can apply the response in a way to build value, reassurance, and credibility.

In this episode, Bill and I will investigate Overcoming Objection. how to address them, and much more on episode 409 of the Get in the Door Podcast

I can save you money!  Salespeople lead this statement which automatically turns your conversation into selling on price and not value.  You will never win the price battle. What will add the most value to the conversation?  What is most important to the prospect? How can you win more sales by offering value, delivering the best solution and maintaining your profit margin?

In today’s show, Bill and I will investigate Fighting Commoditization and much more on episode 407 of the Get in the Door Podcast
