Do your presentations leave people cold? How would you know? Salespeople need to be good at presentations. Period.

And the rules are changing as well. You’ll need to stop selling and begin educating and connecting with people.

Here, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale talk about some tips to use when doing a presentation. They cover a few. Then you can email them at listener@advancedsellingpodcast.com to get the PDF of the rest. (13:10)

Bill and Bryan go to the mailbag this week to answer two questions from their listeners: How do I ease my way in to new accounts when the account’s been transferred from another salesperson? and How do I have my boss see that this is a better way to sell? Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address both of these issues. (12:06)

You’ve heard the saying, “How you do anything is how you do everything.” Well, if you haven’t heard that, you just did, so consider this your lucky day. Well, we have a cousin saying:  “How you show up, determines what shows up.” Sales trainers Bryan Neale and Bill Caskey discuss the notion of how you show up on sales calls. And they help you get your mind right to do so properly. (12:28)

 

 

Sales managers, have you ever wondered if in your process of motivating people—you actually demotivate them? Hard to fathom, isn’t it?  In this episode, Bryan and Bill review an actual email memo sent out from a sales manager to his team at the end of the quarter. And through their discussion of that, you’ll learn a new, more effective approach to how to movitate your team to get results.

Over the last few weeks, Bill and Bryan have been working on this idea of “What trends are going to affect salespeople in the future?” As they started to outline the things they were seeing in the market, they thought it would be useful to have a podcast focused on that. Now, we must tell you that this podcast is about 30 minutes (longer than our normal episodes). But they felt the information here is vital for a sales team and salespeople to know as they pursue new business in the future. The key element of all this is that if you’re not watching trends, then they can slip up on you and pass you by. So, if your sales and revenues are not where they need to be or could be, then you might be a victim of old thinking. (29:54)
