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 goes through a salesperson’s mind when they deliver their quote? I’m way behind on my quota, I just have to make this sale. I know the competition is cheaper so… I’m authorized to drop the price as much as 10%, let’s go for it. What they fail to understand is that they seldom need to drop their price to close the deal.
So put away that discounted proposal as Scott and I chip away at Do You Really Need to Lower Your Price? And other remarkable revelations on Episode 623 of the Winning at Selling podcast.
