What if everything you thought you knew about sales was just the tip of the iceberg? In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, guest Karl Becker argues that truly masterful selling requires going deeper to uncover powerful human truths most tactics never reach.


Host Brian Nichols and guest Karl Becker dive into the idea of "iceberg selling" - understanding the 90% that lies below the surface when connecting with potential customers. Becker shares his origin story of discovering sales as a survival tactic due to struggles with dyslexia, leading to a career coaching teams to "bring out the best in individuals."

The two discuss key mindsets for sales success, including focusing on lifetime value of client relationships rather than short-term transactions. Becker outlines his "5 best practices of iceberg selling", including doing research on prospects beforehand and guiding conversations by understanding "their world."

Nichols and Becker explore ideas around qualifying ideal customer profiles, avoiding aggressive selling tactics, building rapport through genuine curiosity, and framing sales as a "journey" rather than a "sprint to the finish line." Becker also shares suggestions for those new to sales on how to get started being an "effective communicator."

As takeaways, the two emphasize the power of the Golden Rule in sales - "treating others the way you want to be treated". Nichols concludes that understanding context and "why people buy" allows you to truly "meet them where they're at", which Becker agrees is the key to sales success.
