How To Simplify Concepts To Sell More - Mastering Excellence Series
Sales Maven
The Changes All About You
The pair often send each other messages of bad pitches that they both keep an archive of. They also share with each other and kind of laugh about in the way. "There's too many so much there's so much" is a book she has written on how to deal with change at work. She says you have to get out of your own way and know that it's okay for you to have a reaction to change as well.
When you’re relaying information to your team or clients, you need to give yourself time to understand how you want to approach the delivery. People can’t make decisions when overloaded with information. Likewise, information that feels too distant from their own experience doesn’t stick. How you present information can be more important than the information itself.
Your very own Sales Maven, Nikki Rausch, is here to offer tips, techniques, and strategies to master your sales conversations. Discover methods to place yourself in the position to thrive in business and produce true value for your audience. Today, learn how to simplify concepts to sell more in this Mastering Excellence Series conversation on this episode of the Sales Maven Show.
Melina Palmer is an applied behavioral economist with a passion for helping everyone from around the world to understand what behavioral economics is and how it can be applied to help the world communicate more effectively. She is happiest on a stage or working with corporate teams, enlightening them about the brain and how easy it can be to apply behavioral science to have amazing impact on projects and initiatives. Melina enjoys her work so much that she shared team insights in her book What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You: Adapting to Change with the Science of Behavioral Economics.
In today’s episode, Nikki and Melina talk about how more clients say “yes” when you simplify what they need to know. Melina mentions how she is mindful of her presentation skills, even when writing her books. Using things that are relatable and have a level of familiarity (like Snickers, grapes, sharks, or Starbucks) allows people to hold onto information. We need storytelling to be able to make connections and decisions. Listen as Nikki and Melina discuss how you can engage your audience and give them an opportunity to participate in your conversations.
