BREAKING THE CYCLE OF SALES INSANITY

As the saying goes, "doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result" is the definition of insanity. This concept rings true not just in life but also in the world of sales. Yet, salespeople often fall into the trap of repeating the same techniques and strategies, wondering why they're not seeing better results. 

Tiny tweaks can make a big different in your Sales and yet Salespeople often challenge the idea of ‘new suggestions’, saying "but that doesn't work" or "I've done that before." However, these generalisations neglect the fact that the difference between a solid sales process and a weak one can be very small; even a 1% improvement in language, timing, tone and your approach to problem solving can make all the difference. 

So, what can you do to implement tiny tweaks? 

Let's start with tone; tone, pitch, and energy levels play a crucial role in how your message is perceived. A dynamic and engaging delivery can capture attention and convey enthusiasm, setting you apart from the competition. 

Another powerful tweak is to anchor your conversations around past client successes. Rather than focusing solely on your offerings, highlight how you've helped similar clients achieve their goals. By showcasing relevant success stories, you demonstrate credibility and build trust with potential clients. 

Adding value to reengage; whether it's sending a quick update, sharing valuable resources, or simply checking in, staying top-of-mind can pave the way for future opportunities. 

And finally, when faced with objections or hesitations, don't be afraid to ask one more question. This simple act can uncover valuable insights, gather more intel and provide clarity on the next steps.  

These tiny tweaks may seem insignificant on their own, but collectively, they can have a significant impact on your sales success. By paying attention to the small things, you can optimise your sales pitch and ultimately lead to happier clients, more closed deals, and increased revenue. 

So, the next time you're feeling stuck, remember to think 1%ers, and focus on making those tiny, invaluable tweaks to your sales processes.
