Always. And like, yeah, not everyone will be a customer but, but a lot will if you just keep doing the right things.”AARON:“You can't just go around helping all day and just not following through, but I think if you're truly helping, you're helping follow through all the way to the end, which is when you're making a sale, but you're helping the customer find the right solution, at the end of the day.”Connect with AaronAaron Bock | Opkalla | Opkalla.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

People who have that reason, are your at-risk customers, hit them up first, and then after you do that, use that knowledge to strengthen retention protocols.”Connect with DanDan Pfister | Winback Labs | WinbackLabs.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

STOP BLAMING THE TOOL, AND START GETTING YOUR SH*T TOGETHERMany sellers or even sales leaders have the tendency to blame their failure on the tool they’re using, then go out buying another tool, and the downward spiral goes on. So Collin says STOP, and figure out where YOU failed and start working on it, not the tool. Listen up today as Collin also talks about the shiny object syndrome and how you can avoid it, all these, only here in the latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals? Start selling the way your buyers want to buy with Humantic AI! Stop sending boring sales e-mails and start sending personalized GIFs and Memes with VIDU.io!TRANSFORMING MOMENTSCOLLIN: Stop blaming the tool and start getting your sh*t together“You can't just keep blaming things on the tool and then buying a new tool, especially if you're a sales leader, your leadership is only gonna buy that story once, maybe twice, but eventually, they're gonna realize it's you that don't have your sh*t together, and it's not the tool that's broken.”COLLIN: Think of the must-haves than the nice-to-haves“Tools are going to be strong, they're going to have strengths in whatever their core competency is, and if they can bolt some other things on there to make it easier so you don't have to have multiple tools, whatever that additional feature set is, it's probably not going to be their strongest. So it really just depends on, what the most important things like must-haves are versus nice-to-haves.”Connect with LaxmanLaxman Papineni | Outplay | OutplayHQ.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

IF IT’S NOT EASY TO USE, THEN IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD CHOOSEImagine going to a sneaker store with 50 pairs, all the same design, only they are in different color combinations. That is how the market for tools looks like today. So how would you choose one? Laxman talks about an interesting 80-20 rule that everyone should hear about, plus why it is still better to pick the one that’s easy to use, and you can learn all of these in this latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals?

Probably one or two extra features, as you said those are and I'm calling them bells and whistles and you've said shiny objects, but otherwise, everyone is trying to solve the same problem with the almost similar feature set.”LAXMAN: If it’s not easy to use, don’t buy it“Salespeople are fed up with all these different tools and all these different processes. So they don't feel all this technology in our world is making their life easy. In fact, it's the opposite way. So every buyer will start focusing on what are those tools that will help my sales rep sell easily and get that numbers.”Connect with LaxmanLaxman Papineni | Outplay | OutplayHQ.comConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok
