    263 (Sell) The Secret to Uncovering True Buyer Motivation in Seconds (Garrett Palmer, Pipedrive)

    ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Start with “Why Did You Take the Call?”: Kick off by understanding the prospect’s motivation. For inbound leads, ask directly, "What prompted you to reach out?" For outbound, ask, "What made you take this meeting with me?" This reveals their needs and priorities. Reserve Time for Next Steps: Set aside five minutes at the end to confirm logistics or plan a follow-up. If you need more time to dive into key topics, suggest scheduling another call. Demo Based on Pain Points: Order your demo around the most pressing pain points the prospect mentioned. Address their biggest challenges first to maintain their engagement and show value quickly. Recommend, Don’t Upsell: Avoid pushing the premium package. Focus on the solution that best meets their needs to prevent overwhelming them and risking the deal.

    ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect. Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options: Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing. Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal. Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion. Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

    Why Your Cold Call Value Prop Isn't Working | Sales Playbook

    This was a preview from our upcoming course, Cold Calls to President's Club: register for the waitlist here ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: No Value Propositions. Buzzwords make you sound like a telemarketer, and benefits fall flat without the context of a problem. Triggering Problem. Instead, lead with a problem so specific that it triggers your prospect and reminds them of a painful memory. One-Sentence Solution. If you get the problem right, all you need is one sentence to explain your solution (we do X so that the problem goes away). Interest-Based CTA. Validate their interest before you ask for the meeting, using softening language, no-based questions, and mini push-aways. RESOURCES DISCUSSED: Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

    261 (Lead) Why Most Sales Reps Fail As Managers (Mark & Armand)

    Mark & Armand link up live and in person to discuss the when, how, and who of promoting sales reps to sales managers ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Efficacy in Sales Management: A sales manager’s primary job is to ensure team efficacy while fostering a supportive environment. Effective managers don’t just oversee but actively build up their teams. Conscious Competence: It’s crucial for managers to understand the "why" behind their actions. Recognizing the reasons behind effective strategies allows managers to drive consistent, purposeful change. “Taste Test” Before Promotion: Before fully promoting someone to a managerial role, conduct a "taste test" over a quarter to assess fit. Evaluate if they enjoy the role, excel at it, and if their team gravitates toward them as a leader. Avoid Common Frictions: Avoiding favoritism, limiting who can apply, or promoting based on performance alone (i.e., “super reps”) can lead to friction. Open opportunities for all and emphasize leadership skills over individual sales metrics. RESOURCES DISCUSSED: Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal
