The most important part of a sales call
I remember when I first got into sales in 2019 I had a very different idea of what I thought sales was. We grow up programmed that sales people are pushy and rude and just trying to make some quick money. For the majority of people in sales - that’s simply not true. Sales people are what makes the economy go around. When I started in sales, I thought everything was all about the close and being super assertive. I thought I had to know the exact perfect thing to say or else it wouldn’t work. What sucks about sales is so many gurus online have made it so complicated. Totality, NLP, identity reframes, framing this framing that, … Sales is simple. When you treat it like a normal human conversation, which it is, sales gets easier. People buy when you make them feel safe enough to open up to you. If they don’t feel safe or comfortable with you, they’re just gonna beat around the bush and not give you the real discovery. You have to get the truthful discovery and you get the truthful discovery by how you open the call and how you position yourself and your authority in the first few moments. Are you giving them your full undivided attention? Is your nervous system calm and regulated? Are you showing them through your questions and what you say that you actually give a sh*t about them and their life situation? You don’t need tonality tricks to level up in sales. They won’t work on conscious people anyway. You just need to be a grounded man with good communication skills and genuinely care about other people.
