• “These leads are not ready to buy.”

• “You are sending too many leads.”

• “You are not sending us enough leads.”

• “The marketing stuff does not match what we are saying.”

• “Our clients are not buying for the reasons that you say they are.”

• “I have no idea what you are doing in marketing.”

Marketing Says…• “Give us some credit for your big sale.”

• “Why aren’t you using the content/presentation/collateral that we have given you?”

• “You need to think like marketers, not sales people.”

• “Stop complaining about the lead quality, maybe you just can’t sell.”

• “Sales isn’t following up on leads quickly when they are hot.”

We Have All Heard…• 60-70% of buyers says they are done with the sales process

Prospects• The more content they

consume, the better qualified they are.

Selling is About Interrupting Patterns of Behavior.

Selling is About Getting Decisions. All Decisions Are Emotional.

Buyers Have No Idea How to Correctly Buy Something.

Prospects Must Show That They Are Willing and Able. Your Process Must Uncover That As Early As Possible.

If Something is Not Working, Normally the Opposite Will Work.

Give As Much Control As Possible to the Prospect.

Authenticity is the Key to Trust. If You Feel It, Say It.
