Selling From the Heart Podcast Stacey Hanke - The Power of Influence in Sales
In this episode of Selling From The Heart, hosts Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Stacey Hanke, the author of two books, "Influence Redefined" and "Yes You Can! Everything You Need to Know from A to Z to Influence Others to Take Action." She is an expert in communication and influence, helping individuals enhance their influence and build trust through clear messaging and body language.
Stacey emphasizes the importance of going back to the basics in sales and communication. In a world filled with noise and distractions, it is crucial to focus on warmth, sincerity, and authenticity. Influence is about consistent body language and messaging, as well as the ability to move people to take action long after the interaction has occurred. Hanke encourages sales professionals to seek feedback and record themselves to increase self-awareness and improve their influence. By paying attention to how they show up and being consistent in their personal brand, sales professionals can stand out and build trust with their clients.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
What does Selling from the Heart mean? - Stacey: “Selling from the heart is thinking like an athlete, that no matter how great you are, you know, there is always this journey of constant development.”
Discussion on the meaning of influence in sales - Stacey: “When I work with sales professionals, I keep telling them, you can't turn this on and turn it off. Right. It's the consistency of that. Body language and messaging, whether you're on the screen, whether you're in person or social media. That's one side of it, Darrell. The other side is that you have this ability to move people to take action long after the interaction has occurred. I think there's one thing that the three of us have in common, and we have common with your followers, is influence doesn't necessarily happen in the first interaction, but it's a series of how people experience you that are consistent every time. That consistency, to me, is key, especially now more than ever, because I see my clients show up a certain way on Zoom, and then I'll meet them in person, and I'm thinking, okay, that's not the same. That's different.”
