Engagement, humor, and excitement in learning environments can trigger better memory retention and make the learning process more effective.   Sometimes, a single impactful lesson or insight can be worth more than a comprehensive program.   Sales is ultimately a conversation between adults to uncover the truth. Honest and open communication is fundamental to successful sales.   Learning should focus on acquiring and applying skills, not just accumulating knowledge.   Maintaining an appropriate balance of energy in learning sessions is crucial.     =========================================   SUBSCRIBE:  https://podfollow.com/howtosucceed Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment!    =========================================   Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr    =========================================

In this week's episode, Brian Ahearn discussed the importance of adopting an other-focused mindset in influencing people and exploring practical applications of psychology in business. Brian shared insights on the importance of preparation in meeting opportunities, while Mike inquired about Brian's definition of success and biggest failure. Later, We discussed the challenges of balancing authenticity and influence in leadership, highlighting the importance of understanding psychological principles underlying effective sales strategies, such as being disarmingly honest and creating scarcity. Join us in this week's insightful conversation with Brain, where we delve into the art of influencing people for success in sales and beyond. Discover the principles of influence, such as liking, reciprocity, authority, social proof, commitment and consistency, and scarcity. Gain insight on building stronger relationships and achieving greater sales success. Timestamp: 0:12 Influencing people, focusing on liking and knowing the person. 4:23 Principles of influence, including liking, reciprocity, authority, and social proof. 9:45 How to establish authority and expertise in sales through storytelling and credibility-building strategies. 13:22 Building trust and credibility in business through likability, self-orientation, and reframing. 18:13 Sales psychology and principles with Brian Ahearn.   Key takeaways    Influence is a natural part of human interaction, and understanding how to effectively communicate can make a significant difference in getting others to say yes.   Building relationships and genuinely liking the people you are trying to influence is the foundation for successful persuasion.   Reciprocity is a powerful principle of influence, and giving back to others can create a sense of obligation and increase the likelihood of them saying yes.   Authority and social proof are important factors in influencing others. Demonstrating expertise and providing examples of others who have benefited from your solution can increase trust and credibility.   The principle of commitment and consistency highlights the importance of asking questions rather than telling people what to do. By getting others to commit to small actions, they are more likely to follow through and say yes to larger requests.   Scarcity can create a sense of urgency and increase the perceived value of what you are offering. Highlighting what someone might lose by not taking action can be more persuasive than focusing on what they might gain.   ========================================= SUBSCRIBE:  https://podfollow.com/howtosucceed Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment! ========================================= Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/  Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr =========================================

Scott unpacks the crucial concept of establishing equal business stature. Moreover, Scott underscores the significance of transparent discussions surrounding budget constraints and decision-making processes from the outset. By addressing these aspects early on, salespeople mitigate the risk of encountering sticker shock later in the negotiation phase while ensuring alignment between their offerings and the prospect's expectations.

Understand the prospect's decision-making process and who is involved.

Use questioning strategies, third-party stories, and the curiosity curve to engage prospects and build trust. Salespeople should focus on asking meaningful questions and sharing stories of how they have helped others in similar situations.   Embrace the Sandler rule of "no" as the second-best answer.

Starting ABM with existing customers can be a great way to prove the model and generate results.    The four key elements of ABM are data (identifying target accounts and reasons to reach out), distribution (choosing the right channels to engage prospects), destination (where to direct prospects), and direction (tracking engagement to determine if prospects are moving closer or further away).   ABM can be implemented in a scrappy and cost-effective manner, starting with one trigger, one channel, and one piece of content.   ========================================= SUBSCRIBE:  https://podfollow.com/howtosucceed Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment! ========================================= Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/  Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr =========================================
