Sell or Die with Jeffrey Gitomer

In episode 549 The Sell or Die Podcast, we’re talking about how to recover from mistakes in business. No matter how hard you work or how careful you are, it’s inevitable: things will go wrong. It’s not about avoiding mistakes; it’s about what to do when they happen. In the episode, we’ll show you what you can do when things go wrong in business AND still create a relationship with the customer that sets up the potential for the next sale.  

Points we discuss include:

• Jen’s real-life example of what to do when things go wrong
• Recovery plus one

People will pay more attention to how you recover from mistakes than the mistake itself. Don’t make it worse by blaming and avoiding responsibility. Instead, take ownership and take action to build relationships.

In episode 547 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we’re answering a question every salesperson has: “How many times do I follow up with a prospect?” The follow-up process in sales can feel scary and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be. In the episode, we’ll share how to shift your mindset so you feel confident doing your follow-ups and secure more clients. 

Points we discuss include:

• Following up vs following through
• When to stop your sales follow-up
• How to make your follow-up valuable

Everyone in our position, all of the acknowledged sales leaders, insist on the power up following up. There are so many stories of people finally saying yes. Remember that the reason people say yes is because you decided you could help the person and you communicated it in a truthful, responsible manner. So don’t quit before the sale.

Some points we discuss include:

In this episode of Sell or Die, we’re talking about how to start your day on the right foot! Most people procrastinate and drag their feet in the mornings. They don’t spend nearly enough time on revenue generating activities. You, die hard, are not most people. So we’re showing you simple actions you can take to start your day right.

Points we’ll discuss include: 

• Why procrastination is the enemy
• The importance of getting into a productive mindset
