Of course, we are all familiar with how COVID-19 changed sales. From new environments to new skill sets and processes, our comfort zones were upended as our personal and professional lives entered a state of flux. As much as this was true for sales teams, it was also true of buyers. A byproduct of this change will be fear and uncertainty. Going forward, sellers can expect increased hesitancy and trepidation on the part of buyers when it’s time for final decisions.

We know empathy is important in working with others, whether it’s our customers, our peers, or our people. If we can’t understand what they face in doing their jobs, what they care about, what their hopes, dreams, or fears, doubts might be, we can’t connect with them in meaningful ways. Too often, however, the concept of empathy is absent in our interactions.

Sometimes, showing, more than telling, is a better way to pitch ideas and new products to potential customers and investors. This way, you can give them graphic images and pictorial representations of your pitch, which is a more engaging way to sell yourself. One of the ways to do this is through a sales presentation. It presents your product or service to clients professionally, informing, educating, inspiring, and motivating the customer or investor to take action in favor of your product.

What is the most valuable resource you have as a salesperson or business owner? The answer, of course, is your time. You’ve only got 24 hours in a day, and you’ve got to sleep a little…so your time is really the most valuable resource you have. Even so, most salespeople spend their days as if they have unlimited amounts of time. If you ever feel like you’re running out of time at the end of each day, that’s because you are.
