Greetings,
Thank you for listening to the episode. Your commitment to developing your selling skills, mindset and techniques is our motivation.
This podcast is dedicated to the overall success in the sales channel. From the CEO to the front line salespeople, every role must be aligned, trained and committed, every day to achieve the desired outcome. This is not done without a commitment to ongoing career development in learning market-relevant techniques, overcoming conceptual barriers, applying proactive and productive behaviors and projecting a positive attitude.
What is the goal of the first meaningful conversation with a prospect? I often ask this question and the answer I hear the most is – I need to educate them on my products, my company and myself. Really? That’s the goal? I say there are other topics more important to discuss.
Stick around, take some notes and be open minded, as Bill and I investigate – Educate Them on What? and other delectable delicacies on episode 646 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.
