Salespeople are now teaching because the buyers already have done research. A salesperson needs to add value. Otherwise, they are relegated to being walking catalogs, and who needs another one of those?
What does my sales process look like? Do you need more leads? Stop asking the dumb questions.
Wouldn't it be better if you opened with, "Hey Steve, I've spoken to a hundred people just like you in your same position, and some of the challenges I've heard people are this, this and this. Do any of these resonate with you?" take it further, "These are some of the solutions people have come to in order to try to solve some of those challenges."
Suddenly you are someone of interest to that prospect. This is only a taste of what is covered in this episode. Tune in to hear all the ideas and solutions.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
