Prospecting on Purpose® with Sara Murray

When most people hear the term icebreakers, they immediately default to cringey and mandatory team building games. It's ruined the term.

Put simply, icebreakers start a conversation.

In this episode, Sara unpacks the beauty and simplicity of an icebreaker when it comes to networking and prospecting.

She categorizes them as "temperature levels" for different icebreaker styles, so there's a fit regardless of your comfort level when it comes to networking and relationship building.

There are many icebreaker examples, some you haven't heard yet!

And finally, she recaps the results you'll find when you start to incorporate these into your professional and personal life. And, it ends with a challenge (double dog dare) to incorporate these into your daily outings.

In my experience I've come to realize that salespeople fall into one of two buckets.

The people who answer their phone, and the ones who don't. The people who say, "yes" verses the ones who default to, "no."

In this episode, we'll discuss the two types of salespeople; the rockstars.. and the cruisers. We all know people who fall into each bucket. And sometimes, we fall somewhere between the two. Join me this week to have an opportunity to self reflect to see where you're rockin' it, and where you may be slipping.

In addition to identifying good and bad habits, we'll discuss two baseline traits that is in the DNA of every great salesperson. We'll end with reviewing three habits to make sure you're sales practices are always leaning to ROCKSTAR!
