Sales Objection Handling from the Master: Insights from Best Seller Jeb Blount

Our guest, Jeb Blount CEO at Sales Gravy joins Matt Heinz to discuss his new book,

 Objections, The Art and Science of Getting Past No and a lot more!  

Check out the full transcript starting Mon. 11/12/18, 6am PST on the Heinz Marketing Blog.

"The one thing that every one in sales faces is objections ...You get objections when you prospect. You get objections when you ask for next steps. You get objections when you ask people to buy and no one's immune. So it doesn't make a difference what you sell, it doesn't make a difference if you're short cycle/long cycle, if you're enterprise, if you're less complex. It doesn't make a difference if you're an SDR or you're an AE or you have a full desk. It doesn't matter. Every single person that sells is going to face objections. So it's important that you understand how to deal with them and get past them so you can be successful in your role."

"I think it applies to people from all walks of life."

Style vs Function: The Importance of Design and UX in B2B Applications

This episode:  Style vs Function: The Importance of Design and UX in B2B Applications.

What a great conversation with Andrew Halley, CMO of Allego!

When you think about the conversation you have with your customer, you know what's produced from marketing is just a fraction of what actually gets communicated and so creating integration across the company to improve consistency and value of that conversation is one thing. Getting feedback from the field, feedback from those people that are in front of the customers more often.. is another.  Marketing isn't talking to the customer nearly enough by default as sales and account management is.  I think you can tell first hand which companies tend to prioritize function, which of them tend to prioritize the usability, and which of them are just flinging out features. 

We talk about Andrew's perspective on this and how one can balance style and function in a B2B application.... and a lot more, listen in!

Is Sales Just a Mental Game? So says Sedric Hill with Matt Heinz

 

Listen in as we hear from Sedric Hill, Entrepreneur, Author, Thought Leader, Business Coach, Consultant, Sales Expert.

 

The journey to creating a more profitable business can only begin when people identify specific knowledge and skills that are necessary to skyrocket their businesses. In order to do so, they must learn how to unlock implicit cognitive skills present in everyone. Consciously applying these skills will help to increase profitable sales as well as overall personal success.

 

In order to avoid wasting valuable selling time, business professionals must harness what the author calls “the expert advantage.” Simply put, they must learn how to communicate persuasively with clients, prospects and other stakeholders. Connecting with their audience is simple once the essentials that most influence successful outcomes are learned.

 

Cognitive-based skills for communications are rarely taught today, especially in the sales and marketing fields. Hill, however, believes such skills are critical for anyone whose success depends on persuasive communication. He proposes two methods for increasing these mental skills, one cognitive and one app-based, that enhances skills with minimal time and effort.

 

Novice and experienced salespeople can both learn from the strategies Hill presents in this book. Additionally, trial lawyers or people in any field requiring the use of persuasive communication will find Hill’s suggestions beneficial. Succes http:// s in selling is not reserved for the experts; with the right tools, anyone can cross the bar to the next level of sales performance.

The B2B Event Marketing Gap That Will Make Or Break Your Success

                                        Read the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Mon. 10/29/18 - 6am PST.

Another great episode, "The B2B Event Marketing Gap That Will Make or Break Your Success." Matt Heinz talks with Laura Vogel.

"....a lot of event managers these days ... are great at being able to produce an event. But that's just step one. And what they really have to do is get butts in seats. ... how do we get the people there? How do we make sure we've got 2000, 3000, 5000 people in the room because what's really happening is you think about the spring or you think about the fall, especially if these are marketing events, there has never been more competition than there is today.

"...So the number one thing I tell people is they have to really start with their marketing campaign when they start thinking about their content. I think what people tend to do is they start thinking about the marketing far too late in the game, and they really have to take it way back. And it really starts to happen when they're thinking about their content which tends to come first. They start thinking about their content a year in advance and they say, "okay, what's going to be our theme?" "How are we going to create our agenda?" And "How are we going to do those things?" When you do that, that's when you're thinking about your marketing. Because those two things go hand in hand.

Why Your Salespeople Don't Make Quota - An Easy Fix - James Muir Podcast

James Muir, the author of The Perfect Close. He's an accidental sales person. Started out in operations assisting sales team. He was drafted without knowing how to advance a meeting to the next stage. He created this method as an outcome of his own experience.

Statistically, what happens is that no question is asked to advance the sales. 50-90% of sales meetings end without a salesperson asking for any commitment, depending on industry. This number is way higher than those who ask "incorrectly" - at least they ASK.

What is it in the psychology of sales or people that prevents them from asking for the sale? If sales people are not comfortable with the method they've been taught - manipulative - they won't do it at all.

Teach them away that is in aligment with their personal values, there is no difficulty asking

In this episode, James Muir covered:

1. Fear of asking to early or being pushy.

2. Fear of the "No".

Both of these involved in feeling maninupulative or moving the process too fast. You need to have an idea of your ideal outcome of the meeting, but you should also have a couple of positive alternatives.

How to Fish with a Spear, Not a Net - Jon Miller of Engagio

Our guest is Jon Miller, CEO and Co-Founder of Engagio. Here are some of the questions Matt covers:

• When did you see the ABM wave coming?  At what point did you start to realize that lead-based wasn’t going to cut it anymore?
• One of my biggest concerns with the term ABM is the “marketing” part of it, but “everything” feels too broad.  How do you think about that? 
• Culture is a big part of making ABM work internally.  How do you encourage people to make the right internal moves to be successful with ABM?
• This isn’t all-or-nothing right?  How does ABM integrate with other key marketing priorities moving forward?
