Recently, Bill was in a coaching session with another sales trainer, and he was astounded by what he heard. The coach was teaching the group how to persuade the customer to do business with you and ways to manipulate them into getting your way. These techniques haven't changed since the 60s and '70s.  In this episode, Bill and Bryan discuss what's wrong with these techniques and how you can create a modern sales process that doesn't contain any sleazy gimmicks.  ================================= The Insider program is open for enrollment.

Usually “offers” which we define as everything that you will deliver to your customer, are prepared by the marketing department. But we also have seen marketing departments being lax in this area. So you may have to deconstruct or reconstruct the offer so that it speaks to your customer. In this episode, we give you 5 elements of a great offer that you can use starting immediately so that when you communicate that offer to your prospects and customers, they are clear about how you will solve their problems or get them to their land of opportunity. ================================= The Insider program is open for enrollment.

With any sales process, there is a pivot point that happens where you stop talking about their issues, pains, and problems and begin talking about how you can bring value to their circumstance. That is what we call the “pivot point.” In this episode, Bill and Bryan give you some ideas on making this pivot seamless so that it’s not clunky and awkward. This is part one of a two-part series on how to make your offer and talk about it. Next week we will address Offer Construction. ================================= The Insider program is open for enrollment.
