Sales Babble Special Announcement: A New Beginning #396
Sales Babble Special Announcement! Starting with this episode, Sales Babble will be taking a new course when babbling about sales. After nearly 350 interviews I’ve decided to take a pause on the conversation and instead take action on a book I’ve been wanting to write regarding sales.
Nobody has ever approached the subject of selling in this manner. It’s new, authentic and diverges from the traditional podcast format.
Many years ago I authored a thrice a week blog titled the “Tao Te Ching of Sales“. It based on a book of poems titled the “Tao Te Ching” by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tze. It dives into non-pushy sales based on the teaching of Wu Wei “non-doing”. Ongoing episodes will use a new podcast shortened format for this new beginning. I’m excited to hear what the listeners think.
This Chapter is called “Listening:
“The Master Seller listens before talking
Sells without effort
Sharing without preaching
Explaining without judging
Demonstrating without closing.
Never assuming the sale,
the Master never loses one. “
Now the story, the next sales babble
Chris scheduled the sales presentation and then whooped for joy in the office.
Chris had fully qualified the prospect and knew they would buy. There was zero doubt!
“One second” said Pat after being startled by the joyful shout.
“Let’s not count our chickens until they’re hatched.
There are many reasons the prospect won’t be ready to buy.
Take your time and don’t assume it’s a done deal.
Share what we do, how we help and don’t forget to fully ask
why they have agreed to meet with you.
Listen . Listen with intent to their answers
If you do that you will know how you can help
And you will know what to do.”
