Sales 2.0

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024

Getting in the door is getting harder and harder, so making the most of every time you do get through the door is becoming more and more important. Over the years, I have seen many salespeople and business owners taking big risks with important deals by talking to only one person in the prospect company. A common outcome of this kind of “single threading” is “radio silence” after a proposal is submitted—no returned calls or emails, and ultimately no deal.

Storytelling is one of our oldest forms of communication and is an excellent persuasive tool. Stories do the job better than facts – you only have to look to the tabloid news cycle to see that. It’s also clear that, however fictional, stories can profoundly impact actions in reality, as the “Jaws effect” proves — a phenomenon where real-world policy around hunting sharks stems from an irrational overreaction to a scary, and fictional, Hollywood movie.

Conducting a successful negotiation where both parties arrive at a productive, mutually beneficial outcome is a delicate art — one that's every bit as screw-up-able as it is valuable. Thoughtful, effective negotiating skills are a “need to have” if you're going to hack it in sales, but developing them is rarely straightforward. And if you want to get there, you have to have a sense of the right points to cover and (maybe even more) the ones you need to avoid.
