QUOTES
Carol: "A method that I found that's simple and works well is to kind of get them thinking what problem am I solving? Who am I solving that problem for? Who are the different players in the space already doing what I'm doing right now? And how am I different or better?"
Carol: "Unless you're in a very transactional straightforward sale where you know you're speaking to the decision-maker, I don't think you should just be demoing people. I think you really need to spend time talking to them and qualifying them for needs."
Carol: "Start documenting everything. Start documenting every single thing you do, and try it out. But don't try it out once. Try it out a lot of times. Put in the reps. Record your calls. Listen to your calls. I think the ROI on listening to calls is massive and doing reps, whether it's role-playing with your boss, with your team members."
