Nikki's guest for this On-Air Coaching Call is Brandy Searcy. Brandy is a Sales Maven Society member and the creator of the product line Rain Organica. Brandy needs Nikki's support when she is in a situation where she is selling and purchasing. What amount of selling she should do versus asking questions to be sure it is the right fit for her brand. Listen to Nikki's answer on this episode of the Sales Maven Show.

Nikki suggests Brandy has a set list of questions prepared. She needs the answers to decide if this is the right rep firm to sell her products and be prepared with a small product line presentation with the history and why it's such a unique product line. You don't want to go in desperate for the job, so there should be a fifty fifty balance of why your product line is right for them while figuring out if their firm is right for you, and you should interview no less than three to five firms before you decide which firm is right for you.

Brandy felt like there was information she needed, but because the salesperson kept talking over her and acting like she had the answers to all the questions before Brandy could ask them, she didn’t get what she needed out of the meeting. Brandy didn’t feel like the salesperson was trying to build any rapport and that her product would be just one of many, which Nikki says should be a red flag.

Brandy says there are so many benefits of being in the Sales Maven Society. In addition to the feedback Nikki provides, the treasure trove of videos and worksheets that are available to society members is enormous, and the community and caliber of members are unprecedented.
