    Losing Deals to Your Competitor? How to Break the Status Quo (Ask Jeb)

    When every product in your market looks the same, the only way you win is for your competitor to lose. In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount takes a question from Jen, a 20-year sales veteran who moved from TV into digital advertising and has watched three deals in a row end with the prospect sticking with their current provider. Jeb’s advice starts with the sales process. The buyer’s emotional experience is the most consistent predictor of whether you win, so stop fixating on the close and look at how you run discovery, how many commitments you ask for, and whether you can drive a wedge between the prospect and the incumbent. Sometimes the right move is to walk away before you hand your competitor your proposal. If you sell in a crowded market and keep losing to the incumbent, this episode will help you lay the groundwork for competitive displacement. What You’ll Learn: Why prospects stick with the status quo and what to do when you keep losing deals to no decisionHow to compete in a commoditized market where every company and product looks the sameThe five decisions buyers make before they choose to work with youWhy past customers, including accounts other reps once handled, are the best place to start prospectingHow adding steps to your sales process builds buyer commitment through the investment effectWhy sending your detailed proposal too early can give the incumbent vendor everything they need to keep the accountHow to find out if a prospect is willing to changeHow to ask discovery questions that help prospects realize their current vendor is taking them for grantedWhen to walk away from a deal and focus your pipeline on high-probability opportunities- Submit your question: salesgravy.com/ask Purchase People Buy You by Jeb Blount: https://a.co/d/0eETyHhc Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference Follow Jeb Blount on LinkedIn Our Sponsors: * Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Jeb Blount’s Prospecting System: Why You Call Your A List First (Ask Jeb)

    If you can’t figure out who makes the buying decision, every cold call starts with a guess. In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount answers a question from David, a business development rep making a high volume of cold calls daily into a highly technical market. His challenge: how much research is enough before you dial, and how do you find the right contact when the decision maker could be an engineer, a project manager, or the CEO? Jeb’s answer starts with a mindset shift. Prospecting and research are separate jobs, so block time for each and never do both at once. He then walks David through an ABCD list system that moves every lead toward fully qualified, so your first call block goes to appointment-ready prospects and the rest of the day builds tomorrow’s list. What You’ll Learn: How to find the decision maker when job titles don’t tell you who buysHow to get the gatekeeper to give you the contact you need within the organizationWhy separating prospecting time from research time protects your call blocksHow to sort prospects into A, B, C, and D lists so every call has a clear goalHow to build qualifiers that tell you when a lead is ready for an appointmentWhy multithreading matters in complex salesHow to use AI tools to help you build a local prospecting list in minutesHow to build an ideal customer profile with your team to stop setting unqualified appointmentsWhy every new piece of information counts as a win for SDRs and BDRs- Submit your question: salesgravy.com/ask Purchase Jeb Blount's new book: 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference Follow Jeb Blount on LinkedIn Our Sponsors: * Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    If There’s No Next Step, There’s No Deal

    Your CRM says the quarter is safe. So why does the forecast keep slipping? Sales Gravy Master Trainer Jessica Stokes joins Jeb Blount Jr. to explain why so many pipelines look bigger than they are, and why deals without a confirmed meeting on the calendar are the first to stall.

Whether you carry a quota or coach the people who do, you’ll know exactly which deals are real after your next sales pipeline review. 👉 Download our Free 7 Step Guide to Building Effective Prospecting Sequences 📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's new book, 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills 💻 Enroll in Sales Gravy University Courses with Jessica Stokes 🔗 Watch the full episode on YouTube!

    The Cold Call Opener That Books More Appointments (Ask Jeb)

    What should you say on a cold call to book the appointment? In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount takes a question from Ryan, a real estate agent in Brooklyn, New York, who prospects expired listings and FSBOs and wants to know how to structure his because statement to land more meetings. Jeb’s advice is to get direct. An expired listing came off the market because it didn’t sell, so call it like it is, lead with the value you bring, and ask for the meeting with a specific time. When getting in front of the seller wins you the listing most of the time, the call has one job: book that meeting. What You’ll Learn: How to write a because statement that books appointments on cold callsWhy passive openers and permission-based questions invite objectionsHow to use the prospecting pyramid to organize your call listWhy FSBO prospecting is a relationship you nurture until the seller is readyWhy in-person meetings convert better than phone conversationsHow to ask for the appointment assumptively- Submit your question: salesgravy.com/ask Purchase Jeb Blount's new book: 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference Follow Jeb Blount on LinkedIn Our Sponsors: * Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
