    This is a sales masterclass and really the only video that’s needed to learn how to talk to clients. I’m astonished at the amount of value you and the team bring, Chris. Thank you!

    I almost never comment on videos, and this video prompted a comment. Chris, I consume a tremendous amount of your content. I love your approach to sales. I always felt that sales was like a used car salesman, trying to pull one over on somebody, and you allow me to view it in a positive light, where service and providing tremendous value to your clients is the focus of sales. Thank you for all the good that you do! You provide tremendous value to us, your listeners / mentees.

    Nice reframing of sales, to flip the negative connotations into positive. Especially useful for introverts who aren’t “ME” focused by nature.

    Excellent approach. 12:12 Certainly for me, writing a thoughtful, custom proposal is the painful part - it has won me some excellent business (both fulfilling and lucrative), but it has also cost me a lot of time on prospective projects that didn’t pan out. Thank you for this approach!

    This is excellent, Chris. What you are sharing is classing “PSS” or Professional Selling Skills, which was created, or actually, discovered or engineered by Xerox. I’m a corporate trainer and have been delivering PSS for over twenty years, but the way you are presenting those familiar concepts is so fresh and new. Well done! Scott

    In the buyer psychology of this series,where Chris highlighted a problem on the side of a business/company,of being solemnly focused on problem solving.
    And not being great at problem seeking or finding.
    The S.A.L.E.S acronym as conceptualized and explained here is a blueprint/framework for problem finding or seeking.

    We are a digital marketing and branding agency a new startup, And for example today we were with a client and he showed us all of his facilities and the products he produced. We have just listened today and seems like he liked our attitude. We scheduled another meeting for to talk about our services and the contract we didn't rush it. Nowadays we are making contracts with clients like crazy. I already had similar mindset with Chris and this channel really opened my mind. Doing honest work and using the right questions gave us the leverage within 1 week binding all the contracts with all clients we have met with my business partner. It all started with me joining a workshop my business partner was prepared. He asked me if I want to tell one thing or two about visual design there and branding and I took the bullet with confidence and made an unprepared speech. My buddy already had the technical sides and we really motivated each other that day. For now it is better than the old days 😂 If we really get our company profit more and start to take more high end jobs we may contact with blind or thefutur too someday maybe who knows 🎉

      @fabulousswag6683 Před rokem +1

      Exactly,and love what you did with this, which i do like to elaborate on. Desire and Need: Shared Value and common interest.
      Natural need for value of and for the buyer or recipient of the offered and provided service.
      And the desire of the seller, as the giver,to create and provide the desired value.
      The position of a provider of value,as a value and content creator,
      gives you the advantage of numbers and elevated perspective.
      Which provides and grants you rights and privileges of access and availability.

  • @ronfya
    @ronfya Před rokem +3

    Excellent video ! And how do you apply the "don't spend unnecessary time to write a proposal" when prospects have a policy that REQUIRES at least 3 suppliers' proposals and when you know you'll likely be the most expensive one? Because more often than not, in those cases, price weighs at least for 50% in the decision.

    @DN-zz1ii Před rokem

    The problem with that methodology is that it might be great if you have a flow of qualified leads, people who have real budgets, real needs and are a general good fit for your agency. Then having a client first, service first attitude with them is great. The reality is though that most leads unless you have a really sharp content marketing / advertising / social media funnel will not be that type of lead. Chris and his advice is similar to other agency coaches. It focuses a lot on positioning, attitude, content and sales but fails horribly to provide proper lead generation tactics that work in 2023, how to prequalify leads on your website or forms etc.
