Episode 97 addresses one of Mike’s hot-button topics: structuring and conducting effective early-stage sales calls. As he often bemoans when leading workshops, salespeople have to work so stinking hard today to secure an initial meeting with a target prospect, and then they show up and miss the mark by conducting completely ineffective meetings.

If your (or your team’s) sales calls could use a boost, dive into this compelling interview with sales differentiation expert, Lee Salz, who crafted a fantastic resource titled “The First Meeting Differentiator.” Lee doesn’t hold back, declaring that traditional discovery meetings must die because buyers no longer tolerate one-sided sales interrogations that serve the seller and provide no value to them!

After listening you’ll understand why Mike boldly declared in his front cover endorsement, “I cannot think of a salesperson, regardless of tenure or industry, who wouldn’t experience a transformative breakthrough from implementing the powerful approach outlined in The First Meeting Differentiator!”

Here’s to more effective first meetings and to MORE NEW SALES!
