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.
Rats! I thought I was about to close a deal until my client said that he would have to submit the plan to procurement! What does that mean? A bidding war? A long and costly RFP process? Negotiations with a team of master negotiators who are bent on the cheapest product possible? Yes, the thought of dealing with procurement can strike fear into even the most seasoned sales professional.
If you want to learn how to turn the purchasing boogieman into cuddly little lamb keep listening as Scott and I discuss Building Relationships with Procurement and other challenging concepts on Episode 617 of the Winning at Selling podcast.
