How To Grow Confidence When Selling #532 Often these days I see a lack of mindfulness and confidence in the profession of sales. Despite possessing strengths, and skills, sellers often fail to acknowledge their weaknesses and gaps. Not all sellers. Take you, for instance! Here you are, actively listening to Sales Babble and committed to enhancing your sales skills. Contrast that with your peers, who dismiss the idea of continuous improvement. You stand out because you believe in your ability to become better. That kind of confidence is invaluable. Lao Tzu frequently speaks about acceptance and its empowering effects, making our discussion on confidence timely.”  Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours.

Why Be the Seller Who Cares #530 Several years ago, I saw Zig Ziglar at the United Center. Zig was a famous author, salesperson, and motivational speaker. Zig was one of many famous headline speakers that morning and he provided a very engaging speech with over 10K people attending. I remember him sharing one of his favorite lines, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care... about them!" Too often sellers forget this! Customers have choices. There is more competition than ever before. So how do you differentiate? Compassion! It's knowing what buyers truly desire, which is to have someone take away their problems. When prospects get the sense that you care about their problems and that you have their best interest in mind, they will trust that you have the solution. That's how to stand out. Caring for them, taking care of them, just being a good person, and showing some compassion. That’s our topic for today.   Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours.

Why Be the Seller Who Cares #530

Why You Should Never Assume When Selling #529 Not assuming a prospect’s desires is a strength, but knowing what’s good for them? That's a weakness. So too, is the act of taking for granted and presuming, because that instills weakness. Great sellers know the cure is to find solutions that match the prospect's needs. Great sellers know prospects are unique like snowflakes, each with struggles and frustrations. Assuming all prospects are alike is dangerous territory. Lao Tzu wrote, "True words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not true. Those who are good do not argue; those who argue are not good. Those who know are not learned; the learned do not know. The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself." (TTC #81) Stop assuming you know what’s best for your customers until you have an open conversation. It's not until they share will you know how to help. The more you help, the more you will help yourself. It's a paradox. I know! But it's also true.  Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours.
