The Influencer's Edge Podcast with Speaker Paul Ross The First Meeting Differentiator, With Lee Salz
In today’s market, traditional discovery calls fall flat. Buyers don’t want interrogations — they want insight.
In this episode, Lee B. Salz, bestselling author and global sales strategist, breaks down how to transform your first meeting from a dull Q&A into a high-impact, trust-building consultation that instantly sets you apart.
You’ll learn the framework behind The First Meeting Differentiator — a modern approach that energizes conversations, delivers real value, and positions you to win more deals at the prices you want.
If your first meeting doesn’t stand out… neither will you.
Tune in to hear Lee’s thoughts on:
- You’ve written three books on the subject of Sales Differentiation® strategy. What sparked your interest in it?
- Why did you write The First Meeting Differentiator?
- In your bio, you refer to yourself as a sales contrarian. I’m curious, as I’m sure our audience is. What does that mean?
- You certainly have a sales contrarian perspective about discovery meetings. Can you share that with our audience?
- I love the concept of the first meeting being a consultation. How can salespeople put together an effective consultation strategy?
- Where does qualifying fit in your first meeting strategy?
- There’s an age-old expression in sales. People buy based on emotion and justify their decisions with logic. Just about every salesperson on the planet has heard that expression a gazillion times, but they don’t do it. Their prospect meetings are entirely logical conversations. Why do you think that is?
- Salespeople have been told that if you identify a prospect’s pain, you’re well-positioned to win the deal, but you don’t agree. Why?
- Since the beginning of selling, salespeople have been told to share features and benefits. You disagree with that as well. Why?
- And much, much more!
