Mental Selling: The Purpose-Driven Salesperson, with Lisa McLeod
4258
In this cross-over episode, we’re sharing an episode from Mental Selling. This show is produced by Sweet Fish Media.
Sales is one of the only professions where we allow it to be defined by the people who do it badly. Top salespeople are ones who earnestly want to improve life for their customers. When purpose driven sales becomes part of the culture and bigger than the transaction- and your ‘true north’ is improving life for customers- you’ll actually wind up making more money. Successful salespeople want to know that what they’re doing counts for something- that their work matters. If what you are selling is being bought by customers, you’re improving their lives. Hear our conversation with Lisa Earle McLeod, Founder at McLeod & More, Inc. and author of the bestseller Selling with Noble Purpose. We discuss: 3 questions to ask that every salesperson should be able to answer The real reasons salespeople leave their jobs How the noble seller differs from the transactional seller The difference between customer-centricity and purpose-driven sales Overcoming the negative external perceptions of sales with confidence- and how your customers will feel it The “it” that customers really want you to get to… What mistaking profit for their purpose signals to your salespeople and employees Why sales numbers are a lagging indicator and sales leaders need to coach to mindsets vs. outcomes Why the people that have bought from you before are the key to understanding how your products make a difference Sales managers as the “front-line belief builders” Sponsors: If you’re hiring, you need Indeed.

Increase Sales by Leveraging Transparency
3155
Traditional sales teaching is quickly becoming stale and obsolete. Customers these days are inundated with reviews and armed with cognitive bias — and they’re becoming immune to old-fashioned sales patter.
What if the way forward is to sell with transparency? As counterintuitive as it may seem, leading with honesty and embracing your flaws fosters an emotional response from your buyers, develops trust, and increases sales organically. Energetic host John Grispon discusses these revolutionary ideas and more with today’s guest, Todd Caponi, author of the absolutely fascinating emotional sales manual, The Transparency Sale: How Unexpected Honesty and Understanding the Buying Brain Can Transform Your Results. Here's a sneak peek: “The second the buyer's brain senses insincerity, ineptitude, or inconsistency, their brain's 'uh-oh' alarm will sound off subconsciously." Leading with your product’s minor issues empowers buyers to make a more informed purchase, which leads to a genuine emotional connection. Caponi uses new research in neuroscience to develop sales techniques more aligned with the human brain. |
