    Podcast

    If you want this system to work for you then you must learn how to be a problem solver.

    In most cases salespeople feel the need to make a sale and therefore each and every sale solves a problem of their own.

    The Easier Way to Sell system suggests that you place your focus on solving the problem of your prospect.

    If you solve the problem of your prospect and get compensated for it what happens to your problem? It disappears.

    In the second segment you'll be party to a conversation that suggests you can access that authentic way of being with a prospect by viewing that prospect through a filter of platonic love.

    That may sound off the wall... and after listening to this segment you may think otherwise .

    Finally, you'll hear a great conversation between fellow sales trainer and author, Allan Langer and myself.

    Lots of good tips and tools available in our conversation and I'll bet you find this segment worthwhile.

    Enjoy the episode.

    of the 

    Close the Deal
    Without Selling
    Podcast

    In this episode we are moving to the fourth of the Easier Way to Sell Guidelines.

    This guideline is called Think Like a Doctor 

    Why think like a doctor? Aren't we talking about sales?

    Think of it this way...

    • Doctors are Curious, Authentic, and Neutral.
    • Doctors diagnose before they prescribe.
    • Doctors get information... not give it.
    • Doctors ask diagnostic open-ended questions.

    Think Like a Doctor.

    The second segment deals with the inability to keep quiet when selling.

    Sure. You might be able to be quiet for a bit of time, but it's uncomfortable. After all, you've got things to say.

    Well. Instead of shutting up as way of being quiet we're going to take a look at shutting down your response mechanism.

    Don't Shut -Up. Shut Down.

    What part can Artificial Intelligence play in the realm of Sales Training?

    Wingman CEO, Shruti Kapoor, explains some of the advances in technology that allow for the use of Ai while you're actually on a sales call.

    What might it mean to you and your sales effectiveness if you had a "little voice in your ear" telling you in real time to talk less or ask a well-formed question?

    What might the impact on your quest for selling success be with an AI sales "wingman" by your side?

    Truly a fascinating conversation.

    Podcast

    In this episode we are moving to the third of the Easier Way to Sell Guidelines.

    This guideline, called Talk Less. Sell More, may sound like an easy solution to your sales problems. however, your current communications habits lead you to respond to stress and frustration in different ways. For sales people that way is usually talking too much.

    Learn how to talk less. You'll sell more.

    What does dog training have to do with sales training?

    Late in the episode you'll hear me talk about a well known trainer named, Zak George.

    To say the least, I was pleased and surprised to discover that Zak and I agree.  Communications between humans and communications between humans and dogs can be most effective using the right language, the right practice, and the right attitude.

    EPISODE 52

    What is one truth, or certainty that you were taught about sales and selling that you no longer adhere to, or believe?

    What caused you to change your mind?

    Here are a few “truths” that I talk about in episode.

    - Giving your presentation early in the appointment helps make the sale.

    - You must educate your prospects.

    - Objections come with the territory

    I believed all of these when I started in sales and sold that way. I didn’t like to sell that way.

    That’s why I created the Easier Way to Sell.

    Listen and discover options to each of the above truths.

    Plus, you’re in for a treat. and that treat is named Larry Long Jr.

    I’ve known Larry for a few months, and I have to tell you… in that short time Larry has moved me, touched me, and inspired me.

    Larry and I share a love of baseball and sticking with that theme I nominate Larry for the triple crown of motivation.

    This conversation is worth a listen.
