#143 - Active listening to loosen up your discovery calls and first dates (Samantha McKenna, Founder @ #samsales Consulting)
Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS
- 3-step process every time you book a meeting: Show gratitude, send an invite with your company name first, and connect with them on LinkedIn.
- Use a pre-call checklist for discovery. Research everything you can about your buyer and show them you know them in the first 5 minutes of the call.
- Use “typically” language when prospects are hesitant to open up. By sharing common situations, it allows them to nail down their specific problem(s).
- Once you get to a problem, tell a story: “You make me think of a customer where XYZ was the problem, ABC is what we did, which led to 123 results”. This helps build trust and gets them to open up further.
