One-Degree Shift with Julie Gillespie

SALES basics are the SAME as RELATIONSHIP basics - Sharon Davies | Episode 6


Listen Later

Our purpose of this conversation was to show that being ‘salesy’ has got nothing to do with a sales conversation. In fact, building a relationship and connecting within your values is the very foundation of being both human and a sales person.

This flashback really talks to the heart of “What’s the alternative to talking AT someone?” We find in this conversation with Sharon Davies, that talking WITH someone is a conversation that builds trust.

This flashback is taken from episode 6. In this flashback you’ll hear:

  1. (00:23) - Sales was about Feature / Function / Benefit - but it’s solving problems.
  2. (00:50) - Understanding the challenges - what is it that your solution can do that can help your client
  3. (02:38) - Taking notes starts to show that you are listening and building value, it shows integrity and compassion - which builds trust
  4. (04:00) - These conversations are the same as having a conversation with someone who is having a tough time.
  5. This was such a great conversation with Sharon. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. We are fueled by the knowledge that these conversations help people feel more connected and comfortable with having important conversations that make a difference.
