How to Keep the Humanity in Sales & Find the Right CRM w/Wes Schaeffer


Listen Later

When it comes to picking a CRM, a lot of people choose a tool before they are even clear on what they want to accomplish. How can you determine what works best for you? How do you start to consolidate everything into one system? What mistakes are often made in this process? On this episode Wes Schaeffer, The Sales Whisperer, shares on how to improve our ability to have the conversations that increase sales.

 

Great marketing makes sales easy, but great selling makes great marketing possible. -Wes Schaeffer

 

Takeaways + Tactics

  • In sales, our skill set is understanding human beings-- having empathy and the knowledge to go deep with them.
  • At the bottom of the funnel, you’ll still need to reach people on the phone, get them in person, and then close the deal. No amount of AI and chatbots will substitute that.
  • Before "plugging in" for the day, sit down with pen & paper and write down what you want to do. This will help you figure out the right CRM for you.

    At the start of the show, we talked about the importance of understanding your prospects and getting inside their head. We discussed the first step you need to take when you want to find the right CRM. We also discussed how to map out the sales process and where a tech tool would help.

    We also discussed:

    • The importance of controlling the pace of the conversation
    • How sales and marketing fit in together
    •  

      A lot of us approach CRMs the wrong way. We take any tool and try to make it fit our needs when we should figure out our needs first and then find the ideal tool. Detach from the tech, and start visualizing, and understand your process so that you know what you actually need. That way you will find something that actually works for you, not something that will just languish. Remember: you’re not going to magically sell more homes just because you have an amazing CRM.
