The Advanced Selling Podcast

It seems like most of our show topics are devoted to prospecting and selling, however there is an important part to account and relationship management, and that is how to deliver transitional news to your client. This could be in the form of a price increase, a change in ordering structure, or something more significant like the buyout of your company. There is no news that's too small to at least pay attention to how you communicate it. In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan give you some tips on how to do just that. ========================================= Want to have your sales question answered on The Advanced Selling Podcast?

How Do You Stand Out in the Middle of the Commodity Jungle? We had a great caller from down under - Jared - who claims we’ll give him a ripper (we think that means we’ll give him a good answer!)   On this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, veteran sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale take on Jared's question about how to stand out against the competition. They frame this topic a little differently - mainly, how do you distinguish yourself “through the customer’s eyes” in a world that is trying day and night to commoditze you?    They also get into the proper dialogue to use when you’re attempting to do that.    And, of course, the guys do a bit of music trivia to start the show.  ========================================= Want to have your sales question answered on The Advanced Selling Podcast?
