1182 - Lead with the problem

You do so many things that explaining your business feels like reading out the specials menu.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why listing everything you do confuses buyers, how to chunk a complicated offer into simple categories, and why three is the magic number for being understood.When your business does lots of different things, it's tempting to list them all. But a long list doesn't impress buyers. It overwhelms them. They can't tell what you're really about, so they stop trying to work it out.James shares the fix. Chunk it, like a menu. Starters, mains, desserts. Group everything you do into a few logical, connected parts that lead to one clear result. He shares how he does this himself, cutting a long list down to two simple ideas that explain why conversion goes up. Aim for three. It's easier to process and easier to remember.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to explain a complicated business simplyChunking your offerHard to explain servicesThe rule of three in salesSimplifying your sales messageElevator pitch for complex offersMaking your offer easy to understandSales messagingThis is episode 1186 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

Buyers like what you do, but they've got no idea where to start.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: what a front door offer is and why your business needs one, how a clear starting point makes you easier to buy from, and how to explain your entry level offer when buyers ask how working with you works.If you have a shop, people know where to go. They walk in. But most service businesses don't have a shop. So buyers are left wondering what the first step is, how big a commitment it is, and whether it's worth asking. A lot of them just don't.James explains the idea of a front door offer. Your smallest, most accessible way in. First you need to have one. Then you need to be able to explain it simply, from where it starts to where it can go. Because if buyers don't understand it, they can't buy it.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱Front door offerEntry level offer for service businessesHow to make your business easier to buy fromStart here offersExplaining how to work with youLowering the barrier to buyingOffer creation for B2BSales messagingThis is episode 1185 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

Your sales message looks great written down, but you trip over it every time you say it.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: what the telephone test is and why your messaging needs it, how processing fluency affects whether buyers understand and remember you, and simple ways to check your message works when spoken.A lot of sales messaging is written to be read. Clever phrases, smart wording, the works. But most selling happens out loud. On calls, in meetings, at events. If your message is a tongue twister, you'll stumble over it, say it differently every time, and lose credibility with the buyer.James explains the telephone test. Say your message out loud, record a voice note, or practise it on a friend over the phone. He also covers processing fluency, the idea that the easier something is to say and hear, the easier it is to take in and remember. If it's hard to say, simplify it.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to test your sales messagingThe telephone testProcessing fluency in salesSimplifying your sales pitchPractising your pitch out loudWhy clever wording loses buyersSales credibilitySales messaging tipsThis is episode 1184 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

You went to the networking event, had good chats, and a week later nobody remembers who you are.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why most people are forgotten after networking events, how a conversational prop makes you instantly memorable, and simple ways to stand out visually without spending a penny.The whole point of networking is being remembered. But in a room full of people dressed the same and saying similar things, everyone blends together. You can do everything right in the conversation and still be forgotten by Friday.Following on from yesterday's episode on introducing yourself, James shares an easy fix. Bring a conversational prop. Something visual that links to your business, or a bold item of clothing that catches the eye. People are visual. In a room of 30, you'll probably be the only one doing it, because everyone says it's a great idea and then never tries it.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to be memorable at networking eventsNetworking tips for business ownersUsing a conversational propStanding out in a crowded roomVisual ways to get noticedStarting conversations at eventsMaking people remember what you doPersonal brandingThis is episode 1183 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

You tell people your job title and watch their eyes glaze over.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why your job title is the weakest way to introduce yourself, how to open with the problem you solve instead, and how to get a room to connect with what you do.At a networking event, someone asks what you do. Most people answer with what they are. "I'm a solicitor." "I'm a consultant." But that leaves the other person doing all the work. They have to figure out what that means, and whether they'd ever need you. Usually they don't bother.James shares the number one piece of advice he gave at a recent networking event. Start with the problem you solve. Ask if anyone's worried about it. Then tell them that's what you fix. Your job title can come later, or not at all. When people recognise the problem, they lean in.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to introduce yourself at networking eventsElevator pitch examplesAnswering "what do you do?"Leading with the problem you solveWhy job titles don't sellNetworking tips for business ownersGetting buyers to connect with your offerSales messagingThis is episode 1182 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

The meeting went well, they said they'd be in touch, and now you feel awkward chasing them.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: what sellers can learn from the way dentists book your next appointment, why "let's catch up soon" quietly kills deals, and how to agree a clear next step with a date before the call ends.Most sales meetings end with good intentions and nothing booked. Both sides say they'll follow up. Then the buyer gets busy, the follow up feels weird, and the deal drifts away. Not because they said no. Because nobody decided what happens next.James uses a trip to the dentist to show how simple the fix is. Before the conversation ends, say what the best next step is, what it will achieve, and offer a specific date. Book it while you're both there. It's not pushy. It's leadership. You're helping the buyer solve their problem, so show them the way forward.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to agree next steps in salesEnding a sales meeting with a clear next stepWhy deals stall after a good meetingBooking the next meeting before you leaveTaking control of the sales conversationAvoiding awkward follow upsSales leadership and confidenceB2B sales tipsThis is episode 1181 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

You're asking all the right discovery questions, but the buyer is going cold on you.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why firing off too many questions breaks trust with buyers, why you should ask one question at a time, and how to respond to answers so the buyer feels heard.Sellers are told to ask lots of questions. So they do. One after another, like ticking boxes on a form. The buyer starts to feel like they're in an interview, not a conversation. Their answers don't seem to change anything, so why bother giving good ones?James calls this machine gun questioning, and explains how it quietly kills the connection between buyer and seller. The fix is simple. Ask one question. Actually listen. Then acknowledge what they said and adapt before you move on. That's what makes a buyer feel valued, and it makes the whole sale feel easier.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱Sales discovery questionsHow to ask better questions in salesMachine gun questioningActive listening in salesBuilding rapport with buyersWhy buyers go cold during discovery callsMaking buyers feel heard and valuedB2B sales tipsThis is episode 1180 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

Your buyer has gone quiet and every follow up you write sounds like "just checking in"..𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: the one question to ask in every sales conversation, why buyer deadlines give you a reason to follow up, and how to word a follow up that actually gets a reply..Most follow ups get ignored because they're about the seller. You want an update. They don't owe you one. So you end up touching base, checking in and slowly becoming background noise..James explains a simple fix. Ask the buyer when they need this done by. Listen. Write it down and set a reminder. When they go quiet, you come back to them on a date that matters to them, not you. It feels less pushy, it's more useful, and it gets people moving..𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱How to follow up with a prospect who has gone quietSales follow up tipsUsing buyer deadlines to create urgencyDiscovery questions about timelinesWhy "just checking in" doesn't workGetting buyers to take actionB2B sales follow up emailsActive listening in sales conversations.This is episode 1179 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

Ever had a buyer ask a question that made your mind go completely blank?𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why preparation is the fastest route to sales confidence, how to handle the questions you dread before they come up, and why you should know your answers without memorising a script.Most people don't lack confidence because they're bad at selling. They lack it because they're trying to come up with good answers live, under pressure, with the buyer waiting. That's when you waffle, ramble or cave on price.James shares a free exercise that changes this. Grab a pen, paper and a coffee. Write down every question a buyer could ask, especially the awkward ones like "you're too expensive". Answer them when there's no pressure. Get familiar with the argument, not the exact words, and your confidence goes up fast.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱Sales confidenceHow to handle sales objectionsPrice objectionsPreparing for sales callsAnswering difficult buyer questionsSelling when you're not a natural salespersonSales preparation tipsSales role playThis is episode 1178 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.

You send a follow up and the first words are "sorry to bother you". Then you wonder why they don't reply.𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why apologising signals low status, how it makes buyers doubt you, and what to say instead when you follow up.Most sellers apologise to be polite. "Sorry to trouble you." "Hope I'm not intruding." "We're not that expensive." It feels like good manners. But to a buyer it sounds like you're not confident in what you're offering.James explains why you should drop the apologies when you follow up or make an offer. If you believe your product can help, act like it. Skip the sorry and go straight to your question or the useful thing you came to share.𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱Sales follow up tipsHow to follow up without being pushyWhy apologising in sales signals low statusSales confidenceBuyer psychologyWriting better follow up emailsMaking offers with confidenceSales messaging mistakesThis is episode 1177 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.Hit follow so you never miss an episode..𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/.📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation..𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)https://www.practicalsalestraining.com.𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴https://www.clearsalesmessage.com.Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.
