How To Move Indecisive Customers With The JOLT Effect

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Shadowing to remind yourself and your reps of the basics to spot opportunity areas

Setting a goal without a "how" is not a real goal, you have to understand how a rep is going to reach the goal while setting them

Always level with reps before you shadow a call to clarify the role they want you to play on the call & tell them what you hope

Use "Mr.Potato Head" personalization to ramp reps from generic persona based personalizaiton, to trigger based personalization, to full email personalization

218 (Lead) Shadowing Sales Calls The Right Way (Paul Canty, Pulley)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When responding to another parties asks in a negotiation, co-create the solution with them rather than going away and making a new offer to ensure they feel like it was a collaborative exercise

When prospects do things you like, label their actions positively to give them affirmations and encourage further positive actions

When aligning on a solution that works don't agree too quickly because the prospect will think they could've gotten a better deal, use a label like "Seems like that would be a good deal for you..." 

Use the "Late Night DJ" voice to draw lines without having to say "no" or confront your buyers

Hall of Fame: Miles Kane Ep. 103

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Ask your reps to think about the "first win" they can make with a large account

Look for "Alumni" who have recently left key accounts who might be able to make introductions or provide information for your reps to use

Have your reps record "Last Activity" and "Next Meeting" on their opportunities so you can quickly scan through your dashboard and see which deals are at risk and need more attention

If your team have opportunities with next steps far into the future ask "did the rep follow up and did they get a response?" if the answer is no more work is needed
