3-Ways to Sell & How to Get Prospects to Close Themselves

Most of you who follow us in the group or listen to our shows have heard us say, “Ditch the old model and switch to the new model of selling.”     You might be asking yourself, “What does that even mean?”    Most salespeople have been taught that to close a sale they need to be assumptive, excited, and pushy. And while this has brought salespeople a certain level of success, it isn’t the only and better way.    So to bring light to this matter, Matt and I talk about the difference compared with the old model and what the new model of selling looks like in this podcast episode.   We discuss why salespeople who have made the switch to the new model of selling or NEPQ™ have not only seen a boost in sales but also improved their quality of life wherein sales calls with prospects no longer feel like being in a boxing match.    If you’re still on the fence about making the switch, put on your earphones and listen to this episode today.    In this episode, we cover: [0:00] Introduction  [1:59] Matt’s understanding of the Old Model and New Model of Selling  [3:07] Why is it difficult emotionally to sell the old way  [4:31] Old model vs. new model of selling in a nutshell  [5:44] Old model - pressure  [5:56] Good selling is tension-based  [7:36] What the new era of selling isn’t  [9:28] You can’t make prospects do anything  [11:49] Setting up a frame to get prospects to engage  [19:02] The commoditized salesperson   [21:39] Shortened sales cycle using the new model of selling  [22:42] The biggest difference between the old era and the new era  [24:55] A predictable sales process is essential    ✅ If you're looking to take your sales to the 7th level, book a “Clarity Call” below and let’s see if you're a good fit for our sales training program! 👇🏼📞   https://7thlevelhq.com/book-demo/   Resources: ✅ Join the Sales Revolution: If you’re ready to do sales differently, you’re in the right place.

When you take the time to learn effective sales skills, you’ll start seeing massive results in your sales conversations and your commissions.   Contrary to what old sales gurus say, success in sales has nothing to do with being born with the gift of gab.

With her dedication to learn effective sales skills, she joined the NEPQ™ advanced inner circle and diligently practiced and applied everything taught to her.    She has then 5x’ed her sales commissions from $3K to $15K per month.    If you’re interested in learning more about how this is possible, play this episode now.    In this episode, we cover: [0:00] Introduction  [6:35] Freda shares when she started in sales  [10:15] What triggered Freda to join an NEPQ™ training [13:13] Freda’s learnings and results she got from her training  [15:39] Question Freda asks to get prospects to engage with her  [19:24] Situation question that Freda asks  [21:14] Sample problem awareness question  [22:53] Solution awareness question [24:49] Consequence question Freda uses in her calls  [26:58] Memorizing the sales structure to earn more  [28:48] How taking the time to train paid off for Freda  [30:11] Freda’s biggest takeaways from joining the advanced inner circle  [32:16] Last words of advice    ✅ If you're looking to take your sales to the 7th level, book a “Clarity Call” below and let’s see if you're a good fit for our sales training program! 👇🏼📞   https://7thlevelhq.com/book-demo/   Resources: ✅ Join the Sales Revolution: If you’re ready to do sales differently, you’re in the right place.

Old sales methods encourage salespeople to be overly aggressive when talking with prospects in order to win the sale. But should they?    It’s actually the opposite…    Because it’s when you come across as low-key, conversational, and detached from the sale that prospects begin to open up to what you have to offer.    Keep in mind that the goal is to be human rather than salesy.    Give a listen to this short episode.     Follow us on YouTube and visit our Sales Revolution Facebook Group to get more of these tips.    Resources: ✅ Join the Sales Revolution: If you’re ready to do sales differently, you’re in the right place.
