Hear up we have to change the gross sales tradition. It’s an entire shit present.
I had a dude attain out to me the opposite day and he stated one thing like “I don’t know you however I’ve been following you, and I problem you to a sale – one thing we’re each aware of” – I don’t know what he thought we had been going to promote. He stated I’ll present you ways I can promote it sooner than you’ll be able to promote it longer.
Plain and easy, I don’t get the purpose. Good salespeople don’t promote shit sooner, that’s not a superb sale. That is how I do know the gross sales tradition and the world of gross sales is fucked. We so hyper targeted on promoting it sooner and/or promoting it for extra. The gross sales tradition has created a world the place they imagine that that is their job – that what separates the great from the dangerous is velocity and income.
No. Your job, our job is to assist individuals. Full cease. Gross sales is about promoting the best product to the best buyer on the proper time to make THEIR life simpler. It’s about promoting the best product to solves the issues they’re combating which might be prohibiting them from attain the end result or outcomes they want.
For no matter purpose we refuse to get out of our personal means. The gross sales world continues to push ideologies which might be self-centered, self-absorbed, seller-centric spewing issues like “I can promote that sooner than you”. This isn’t a recreation present, there’s no forwards and backwards:
Contestant 1: “I can promote that in 2 days”
Contestant 2: “Effectively, I can promote that in a day”
Contestant 3: “I can promote it in 4 hours.”
No. Are you kidding? What’s fallacious with us? How did the gross sales tradition get thus far? We’d like a prime to backside, wholesale change to the tradition of promoting. Promoting is about serving to your purchaser. Promoting is about taking the time to know the world that your purchaser is combating proper now, how that world is negatively affecting them, what they can not do, the place they wish to be, what the challenges are stopping them from reaching this desired final result and bringing a strong choice to the desk that can assist them obtain these outcomes and enhance their present state.
That’s our job. If that takes two days, two months, two quarters, or two years – it doesn’t matter. So long as we’re doing it in a means that minimizes the impacts to them and will get them what they want as shortly as potential for the best value then, solely then, are we doing our job. That’s it.
No one provides a shit about us, our merchandise, our providers, our firm – it’s about them.
