You know that selling to prospects requires understanding how they buy. But you may still be struggling to master this technique. Join me and my guests, Jorge Soto and Justin Dorfman, co-founders of Asset Mule, as they explain how to focus on the buyer’s perspective to build a successful sales pipeline.

Meet the Guests: Jorge Soto and Justin Dorfman

• Jorge Soto and Justin Dorfman are the co-founders of Asset Mule, a company specializing in buyer enablement. 

• They bring valuable insights on integrating human elements in sales and understanding the psychology and motivations of buyers throughout the process.

• Instead of relying solely on CRM systems to close deals, they emphasize that understanding each stage of the buyer’s psychological journey accelerates the sales process.

Focus on the Buyer’s Journey, Not Just Sales Techniques

• If you’re still using traditional sales scripts, it’s time to shift your approach. By understanding the buyer’s psychology and putting yourself in their shoes, you can better guide them through the journey. 

• Awareness Stage: How will this product help solve my problem?

• Consideration Stage: Are there other products like this? Who else is using it?

• Decision Stage: Will this fit my budget? Will I have support if needed?

• Today’s buyers are more informed and considerate at each stage. Jorge and Justin explain how to use psychology to build trust and enhance the customer experience.

Qualifying Leads with a Human Touch

• Early qualification calls help sales reps understand a buyer’s motivations. Jorge explains that asking direct questions can uncover issues that might otherwise be overlooked due to an over-reliance on tools and processes. 

• These questions also help map out sales assets to use at each stage of the buyer’s journey.

“Building rapport and trust by going the extra mile early in the process makes a real difference in the experience,” - Jorge Soto.

“Every deal and every buying process is unique. Eventually, your goal is to turn the prospect into a champion. Once you establish that relationship, you can leverage their insights into their organization and its stakeholders, allowing you to map the buyer’s journey together and identify which assets to use at each stage,” - Justin Dorfman.
