Our guest on this episode is Christophe Lafargue. Christophe is the Director of Business Development at Lucid Dream VR. Lucid Dream designs and builds custom virtual-reality experience for enterprise industries. Christophe and I start the conversation discussing how to sell a dream, an emotion, an experience. As you can image selling a product that has many different applications can be challenging so how do you help your customers prioritize their needs vs. their wants. It certainly helps to have a really cool demo experience. We’ll break this down during our discussion. Other topics Christophe and I explore are;
- The Concept Discovery Sprint
- The best referrals are warm intros
- Demos are the critical activity on the path to closing
- Selling when you have nothing to sell
P.S. the book Christophe references during the episode is called “Win without Pitching” by Blair Enns
