Sales Hacker

One Question to Determine Buyers

Mr. Inside Sales

How would you like to have just one question that will almost always positively identify a buyer? Believe it or not, there is such a question, and it’s an easy question, but very few sales reps have ever thought to ask it. Or, if they do know what that question is, they are afraid to ask it. Why?

Is Your Pipeline Taking A Summer Holiday?

The Pipeline

By Tibor Shanto. Summer, traditionally a time to kick back, relax and enjoy the brightest and warmest time of year. Business seems to move at a calmer pace as people enjoy school and work vacations. And while there is no doubt that the pace may be different, there are ways to take advantage of the “ summer lull.” But while elements of the change in pace are true, it requires a change in our action, not a lack of action.

Overcoming Price Objections by: Not Making It Your Problem

A Sales Guy

We’ve been giving away too much money in sales over the past century. Why? We’ve been trained to think the buyer’s budget matters.

In other words, we make the buyer’s budget problem our problem and we need to stop doing that.
