Most sales teams don’t lose deals because of bad leads; they lose them on the call. In this episode of Results Driven Podcast, you will sit in on a live seller call audit led by Brandon and Sage, breaking down a real conversation that should have turned into a signed deal... but didn’t.
You will hear the exact moments where the sales process broke down, how small tweaks in wording, timing, and tone could have changed everything, and why proactive coaching is the secret weapon for closing more deals with the leads you already have.
You’ll Learn How To:
- Circle back to the urgency of the call without sounding awkward or pushy
- Actively listen and isolate the emotional drivers instead of just hearing noise on the call
- Recap the seller's motivation to secure an emotional anchor and make negotiation possible
- Guide motivated sellers without over-explaining or derailing the flow
