"Somewhere in the Range: The Art of Ballparking Without Killing the Deal" Description Most sales are lost long before the proposal is ever presented… Not because of price—but because price was handled poorly. In this episode, we break down the art and science of ballparking and trial closing—how to test a buyer's comfort with investment without triggering resistance, fear, or shutdown. You'll learn how to: Introduce price ranges naturally and professionally Tie investment to outcomes (not just numbers) Read and respond to buyer reactions in real time Use soft language that opens conversations—not closes them Qualify serious buyers early and avoid wasted proposals This is not about "closing harder"… It's about guiding better decisions.

    Stop Cold Calling Strangers—Start Closing Warm Opportunities

    🎧 Podcast Description What if your next 10 deals were already sitting in your database? Most salespeople spend their time chasing cold prospects—complete strangers with no relationship, no trust, and no context. Meanwhile… your old leads, past clients, and dormant contacts are sitting there—waiting. In this episode, we break down why working your existing database is not just easier… it's smarter, faster, and far more profitable than traditional cold calling. You'll discover: Why familiarity and past connection dramatically increase conversion rates The psychology of timing—why "no" often just meant "not now" How to re-open conversations without feeling awkward or pushy Simple frameworks to reconnect, re-engage, and re-sell How to turn your CRM into a consistent, high-quality pipeline The truth is: Cold calling is hard because you're starting from zero. Reconnecting is powerful because you're starting from history. If you're in sales, business development, or client growth—this episode will change how you see your pipeline forever. Don't hunt for new opportunities… Rediscover the ones you already earned. https://forms.gle/bGto8XswG5tw6Ftk9       CZ6 - PDC Sales and Business Growth Partner - Free Sales and Growth Audit Application Each year, we only work with a select number of businesses to ensure we deliver maximum impact — and to make sure your time is valued too.

    Face-to-Face vs Virtual: The Truth About Winning Deals using the Gemba Prospect Visit

    🎧 Podcast Description Should you jump on Zoom… or get in the car and go see the client? It's a question every salesperson faces—and most get wrong. In this episode, Leigh Farnell breaks down the real difference between virtual meetings and what he calls the Gemba prospect visit—being there, in the client's world, where the real work happens. You'll discover: When Zoom is efficient… and when it quietly kills your chances Why being physically present changes the quality of the conversation How Gemba visits uncover insights you'll never get on a screen The hidden cost of "saving time" and how it impacts your close rate A simple framework to decide: Go or Zoom? This isn't about old-school vs modern selling. It's about understanding where trust is built, where problems are revealed, and where decisions are actually made. Because sometimes the fastest way to win a deal… is to slow down, show up, and step into the client's world. www.leighfarnell.com  CZ6 - PDC Sales and Business Growth Partner Application Each year, we only work with a select number of businesses to ensure we deliver maximum impact — and to make sure your time is valued too.
