934: Discovery Resistance, with Mike Bosworth

Mike Bosworth is one of the true legends in the sales profession. He is the author and creator of both "Solution Selling" and "Customer Centric Selling." I enjoy it every time Mike comes on the show. Because I learn something new. And today's no exception. In today's episode we talk about a growing problem in sales: discovery resistance. Discovery resistance is resistance to being questioned – pushback – verbalized or not, from a buyer you would like to get to know. Discovery Resistance originates with the 99% of buyers who have come away from previous encounters with 'salespeople' feeling coerced, pressured, manipulated, or flat-out PUSHED into doing something that they did not want to do. This is critical for individual contributors to understand as well as sales leaders.
