Today Andy welcomes another blockbuster panel of sales pros including, Arup Chakravarti, Director of Sales Excellence at Equifax UK, Barbara Weaver Smith, Founder of the Whale Hunter Institute, and Amy Hrehovcik, Fractional Sales Enablement Director at CROP, and host of the Revenue Real Podcast. They talk about the concept of selling based on pain points and whether it is effective and explore the idea that focusing on pain may not always be the best approach and that understanding the buyer's goals and opportunities can be more valuable. 

They also discuss the importance of identifying the buyer's motivation, whether it is driven by positive outcomes or risk aversion and highlight the need for emotional intelligence and adaptability in sales conversations, the challenges of selling to large companies and the importance of mitigating risks for buyers and conclude with a discussion on the need for a shift in sales strategies and the importance of creativity and relationship-building in engaging with buyers.

Host Andy Paul is the expert on modern B2B selling and author of three best-selling, award-winning sales books, including his latest Sell Without Selling Out. Visit andypaul.com to subscribe to his newsletter for even more strategies and tips to accelerate your win rate.
