  • Repurposing Content

    20/11/2007 Duración: 15min

    Lead generation continues to come up as one of the most important issues facing sales people today. There just never seems to be enough in the funnel. Today, Bryan Neale and Bill Caskey talk about a new strategy that you can use to help bolster leads—and help you generate marketing content from your intellectual capital. One of the perspectives here is you must stop acting like a sales person—and start acting like a business owner/marketer. Begin thinking of yourself as a “go to resource” for solutions. If you can get there mentally, this podcast will make tons of sense.

  • The Sales Force Of The Future

    01/11/2007 Duración: 13min

    We have been thinking about what the future sales force will look like lately. Why? Well, there are a ton of trends that are beginning to impact sales forces and sales people – globalization – googlization – commodity pricing – readily available information on the web - etc. So we went out and looked for someone who had studied this from the perspective of: what do customers want from the seller? We found Ben Ball (Senior VIce President, Dechert-Hampe & Co.). So in this interview, you’ll hear what his study told us about what the sales person of the future might look like – act like. Sales managers/leaders: listen carefully.

  • Closing Skills 2007-10-02

    02/10/2007 Duración: 12min

    Have you ever taken a sales course where you learned how to “close”? Or, maybe you learned the “‘trial close.” Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address The issue of closing skills in this podcast – yet they don’t address it in the traditional way. In fact, they lay to rest - hopefully forever – the idea that by delivering certain techniques you can “get someone to make a decision.” That’s not the way it works – and to reinforce those worn out sales tactics does you more harm than good. This podcast will rewire your sales mind a little – which will allow you to operate from a different mental position when getting decisions.

  • Stick To Your Sales Process

    20/09/2007 Duración: 12min

    Have you ever wondered why the prospect wants to control the sales process? Other than the fact that we’re all “control freaks” to some extent, it’s no wonder the prospect thinks – because he has the money – that he should control the sales process. But the fact is, he shouldn’t. You should control it. And in this week’s episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bryan Neale and Bill Caskey tell you exactly how to do that.

  • Money Scripts

  • China Import Problem

    22/08/2007 Duración: 12min

    In this episode, Bill and Bryan address the China import issues that are making news. Is it possible that part of this is a breakdown in selling skills? That might be a stretch - or not. As you listen to this, think about how you would modify your sales approach if you were to compete against low priced competitors. This applies to sales professionals who don't just compete against off shore vendors - but to the vendor right down the street as well.

  • Old Selling Vs. New Selling

    27/07/2007 Duración: 21min

  • How Often to Follow Up

    23/07/2007 Duración: 14min

    Ever wondered where the line was between being persistent and being a pest? You're not alone. Most sales people have. In this week's episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale read a letter from a listener who is concerned with how persistent he should be toward the end of the deal. You see most sales strategies are built on the premise of 'convince and persuade.' And with that misaligned orientation, the sales professional sometimes pushes too hard in an effort to close the sale. This episode has many tips and good ways to follow up with your prospect--in a way that won't push them away.

  • When Your Ideas Stick, People Buy

    08/07/2007 Duración: 13min

    In this week's episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey interviews a special guest, Dan Heath, the author of the Made to Stick. He joins us today to share his insights on helping OTHERS understand your ideas and helping YOU communicate them better. It seems in most sales training, we talk about communication skills, but spend little time talking about the thinking behind communicating ideas. Dan has researched why/how some ideas stick and others don't. And since professional selling revolves around how compelling you make your ideas for the prospect, Dan was the perfect guest. These are skills that you can learn and apply immediately to your sales strategies to help increase sales. Make sure to go buy Dan's book, Made to Stick. Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die.
