The Advanced Selling Podcast

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, veteran sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address the notion of relationship selling. The question is not if relationships important in the sales cycle, we can all agree they are. The true question is what does a good relationship really mean with a prospect?

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, sales experts Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address a common observation that they have when they're working with sales teams.

On the other hand if you are blind to your instincts or you don't trust them, you might be in for long selling cycles. Bill and Bryan give you some tips on how to listen and how to react. ========================================= Learn more about how to improve your personal brand with our Personal Brand Makeover Course www.personalbrandmakeovercourse.com Looking for more sales training like this?

On this episode of Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan take a listener call from Paula who poses the question of, "how we extract ourselves from the commodity dungeon with our pricing and our offer." The guys tackle Paula's question head on and acknowledge that it happens to virtually every company, and maybe even in every sales process. The customer sees the same things from other vendors, but doesn't see the uniqueness and differences, and it's up to you to decide how to portray them. The guys give several tips and exercises on things you can do to help get in touch with your true value, and then some ideas on how to communicate it. ========================================= Learn more about how to improve your personal brand with our Personal Brand Makeover Course www.personalbrandmakeovercourse.com Looking for more sales training like this?
