66: How a Challenger Sales Strategy Impacts Organizations w/ Bill Bice

Bill started his first company when he was 18. Since then, he’s founded and/or advised 27 different companies.

He doesn’t need a marketer to paint lipstick on his product — his experience speaks for itself. And, he’s taken that experience into action as the CEO of boomtime, a company that specializes in word-of-mouth marketing. But Bill Bice has a message for B2B sales teams: Be consultants. Use the challenger sales methodology.

And he came on this episode to tell us how to do it.

What we talked about:

• The best sales reps are already making their own sales material
• Who can become a challenger sales rep?
• The 5 archetypes of sales reps:
• • The hard worker
  • The lone wolf 
  • The relationship builder
  • The challenger
  • The problem-solver
• Position you company as an organization of consultants
• The challenger sale is basically word-of-mouth at scale
• The challenger sale is a long term commitment for an organization
• Don’t use copywriters
