  • [EP.57] How to Stop Conforming & Sell Like You with Jeff Bajorek
    How to stop conforming and sell like you;

    Trying to fit into the mould of what's "normal" is a total recipe for disaster.

    Maybe you’re doing it to try to please other people...

    Maybe you’re afraid to go a different direction…

    So you follow, you conform, you suppress your true self.

    And suddenly you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

    Let's face it, when you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one, especially yourself. 

    So, why not ditch the act and start selling like YOU?

    Don’t be afraid to stand out from the rest and embrace your uniqueness.

    It’s what makes you unforgettable.

    Join me on this episode of The Influential Communicator as I sit down with renowned sales coach and author Jeff Bajorek to discover how to break out of the conformity trap and unleash your unique sales style.

            • [EP.55] How to Communicate your Solution & Sell it like a Mango with Donald Kelly
              How to Communicate your Solution & Sell it like a Mango;


              Let's be real, who likes being sold to? 

              Nobody, right? 

              We all hate that pushy salesperson trying to shove their product down our throats. 

              But what if I told you there's a way to sell your solution without making it feel like a sale? 

              Think of it like selling a mango...

              A mango is a delicious, juicy fruit that people love, but you don't go around shouting "BUY MY MANGO, IT'S THE BEST MANGO IN TOWN!" 

              No, you let the mango speak for itself.

              It's all about communicating the benefits, the taste, and letting people make the decision for themselves. 

              The same goes for your solution. 

              And on today’s episode of the Influential Communicator, I bring in Donald Kelly, the Founder of The Sales Evangelist and author of “Sell It Like a Mango: A New Seller's Guide to Closing More Deals.”

              Donald is here to enlighten us on his Platinum Rule in sales, and share his own personal mango-selling story that we can all learn from.

              So, tune in to this episode as we dive into how you can communicate your solution and sell it like a mango, without all the pushiness.

              Let’s get into it!


              WHAT WE DISCUSS:
              • [0:54] - Who is Donald Kelly?
              • [5:27] - Donald’s Platinum Rule and how it contributes to the B2B sales space today
              • [11:10] - Implementing personalization by using intent-based prospecting
              • [14:21] - The concept of convincing versus influencing
              • [20:48] - Using micro-commitments to inspire prospects to take action
              • [24:50] - Donald’s story of selling mangoes in Jamaica
              • [30:37] - Where to get Donald’s book, “Sell It Like a Mango: A New Seller's Guide to Closing More Deals”
              • [31:49] - An influential communicator Donald looks up to today

              • 3 WAYS TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH PROSPECTS ACCORDING TO DONALD:
                • Influence and educate your prospects rather than just convincing.
                • Focus on quality versus quantity.
                • Be very unique in your process, do it at scale, and build.

                • VALUABLE INSIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:
                  • The importance of focusing on what the prospect wants versus what you want for them
                  • Why intimacy and connection are crucial when it comes to scaling your business
                  • Why influencing is far more powerful than outright convincing prospects to buy your product or service
                  • How to stand out from the crowd as a seller by using authenticity to pull your buyers in 
                  • How to use micro-commitments to keep your buyers coming back for more

                  • NOTABLE QUOTES:
                    • [6:15] - “The golden rule states that, treat others the way that you would like to be treated.” - Donald Kelly
                    • [15:08] - “Convincing someone to buy your product is a bad idea. [...] What I’ve seen best is you’ve helped influence someone or help educate someone enough that they convince themself to make that investment.” - Donald Kelly
                    • [20:53] - “In order to impact somebody, you need to learn how to influence them first.” - Ravi Rajani

                      How to become a magnetic communicator in your next sales presentation;

                      Selling with style and authenticity is the name of the game.

                      But let me tell you this…

                      Being authentic doesn’t mean you just get to talk about what you want 100% of the time.

                      You also need to contextualize who you are, in accordance with the person you're trying to connect with.

                      And so that’s where style comes into play.

                      When these two mix well together, you have yourself a high-impact message.

                      So, how can you become a magnetic communicator and crush your next sales presentation?

                      Buckle up because Nikki Ivey is here to give us the inside scoop!

                      Nikki, currently a sales training director at JB Sales, has been in the world of sales and marketing for a while now, so it’s no surprise that she’s got the perfect formula for a punchy and memorable sales conversation. 

                      You’ll get what I mean when you tune in to this episode!

                                How To Create Evangelists & Explode Your Brand;


                                Authenticity, consistency, and intention. 

                                These are some of the most important characteristics we look for in people… 

                                Even more so when it comes to building a community.

                                Today, evangelism has been quite a big buzzword in the business world.

                                But what is evangelism, really?

                                Long story short — it’s all about problem-solving. 

                                It’s about building a community around the solution to your business problem and allowing people to become part of the solution, while making sure that it is all intentional.

                                In this episode of The Influential Communicator, I am joined by Leslie Greenwood, a trailblazer, seasoned evangelist, and today, a founder and CEO of Chief Evangelist Consulting.

                                I’ve pinned her down to talk about all things evangelism and how to explode your brand in the most genuine way, through your own evangelists.

                                If you own a brand or business, this is your wake up call to start evangelizing.

                                    5 Steps To Embedding A Customer Success Story In Your Next Demo;


                                    Imagine being on a call and getting called out by your prospect for sounding scripted, engineered, or contrived…

                                    Let’s be real – that’s the last thing anyone would want.

                                    Storytelling inside the buying experience doesn’t have to be complicated, but it takes proper timing, effective structure, and a well-established connection with prospects to tell a convincing story that doesn’t feel forced.

                                    And one might ask: what is one of the best ways to establish a stronger connection and accelerate trust with prospects in today’s climate?

                                    Telling a high-impact customer success story. 

                                    That’s why in this episode of The Influential Communicator, I share with you my five simple steps for embedding a customer success story into your next demo.

                                            When any influential strategy gets put in the wrong hands...

                                            It can be destructive.

                                            "With great power, comes great responsibility..."

                                            I'm pretty sure Peter Parker's uncle said that in Spiderman, but hey...it applies here too dammit!

                                            How to Boost Customer Loyalty in a Recession;


                                            As human beings, we like to take the path of least resistance (whether we believe it or not).

                                            We value "ease" more than we like to admit and quite simply, it influences our behaviour as a consumer.

                                            So, the million dollar question is...

                                            Are you creating a frictionless buying experience for your customers that keeps this in mind?

                                            In today's episode, I highlight an underused marketing metric that could be the key in helping you sell more and boost loyalty in a recession.

                                            I'll see you on the other side!
