Most people think of scrambling as a negative thing, but it doesn’t have to be negative. Scrambling might mean that you have a lot to get done, but you’re still doing it in a controlled manner. In the episode, we’ll show you how to stop rushing so you can actually get MORE done.

Points we will discuss include:

  • Scrambling vs rushing
  • The importance of prioritizing

In episode 549 The Sell or Die Podcast, we’re talking about how to recover from mistakes in business. No matter how hard you work or how careful you are, it’s inevitable: things will go wrong. It’s not about avoiding mistakes; it’s about what to do when they happen. In the episode, we’ll show you what you can do when things go wrong in business AND still create a relationship with the customer that sets up the potential for the next sale.  

Points we discuss include:

  • Jen’s real-life example of what to do when things go wrong
  • Recovery plus one

People will pay more attention to how you recover from mistakes than the mistake itself. Don’t make it worse by blaming and avoiding responsibility. Instead, take ownership and take action to build relationships.

In episode 547 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we’re answering a question every salesperson has: “How many times do I follow up with a prospect?” The follow-up process in sales can feel scary and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be. In the episode, we’ll share how to shift your mindset so you feel confident doing your follow-ups and secure more clients. 

 

Points we discuss include:

  • Following up vs following through
  • When to stop your sales follow-up
  • How to make your follow-up valuable

 

Everyone in our position, all of the acknowledged sales leaders, insist on the power up following up. There are so many stories of people finally saying yes. Remember that the reason people say yes is because you decided you could help the person and you communicated it in a truthful, responsible manner. So don’t quit before the sale.

In this episode of the Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about a secret to sales that doesn’t often get talked about… ENTHUSIASM! Showing enthusiasm is absolutely essential for selling. No one wants to buy your product if you’re not enthusiastic about it! In the episode, we’ll show you how to channel genuine enthusiasm to boost your sales. 

 

Some points we discuss include:

  • What enthusiasm is and where it comes from
  • How to use enthusiasm to drive your sales 

 

Of course, enthusiasm doesn’t replace having a deep knowledge and understanding of your product. You can’t just cheer something on but not know what you’re talking about. But you can use the deep knowledge you have to drive your enthusiasm! Because you know so much about the product and how it can help someone you can enthusiastically talk about it. We know this will make all the difference for you.

In this episode of Sell or Die, we’re talking about how to start your day on the right foot! Most people procrastinate and drag their feet in the mornings. They don’t spend nearly enough time on revenue generating activities. You, die hard, are not most people. So we’re showing you simple actions you can take to start your day right.

 

Points we’ll discuss include: 

  • Why procrastination is the enemy
  • The importance of getting into a productive mindset
  • Why you should emphasize revenue-generating activities

 

Remember that being busy is not the same as productivity. We encourage you to look closely at the outcomes of whatever you’re doing. Audit your time and ask yourself if what you’re spending time on is actually leading to more sales. When you’re honest with yourself about where your time goes, you’ll be able to focus your attention on what actually leads to sales.

In this episode of The Sell or Die Podcast, we’re pleased to have Jason Dorsey joining us. Jason is a pioneering Gen Z, Millennial, and generations speaker and researcher. He is on a mission to separate generational myth from truth through data to solve strategic challenges for leaders. His latest bestselling book is Zconomy: How Gen Z Will Change the Future of Business—and What to Do About It. Jason is here to talk to us about everything we need to know about Generation Z, how they differ from millennials, and how we can use research findings to win them over in sales. 

Points we’ll go over include:

  • Gen Z characteristics
  • Marketing to Gen Z
  • How Covid-19 affected the generations

Adaptation is crucial for sales. Remember that someone will adapt to this generation. Is it going to be your competitor, or is it going to be you? If you don’t start speaking to Gen Z, you’ll miss out on a huge opportunity.

Zconomy: How Gen Z Will Change the Future of Business―and What to Do About

Feb 23, 2021

In this episode of The Sell or Die Podcast, we’re talking about uncovering the decision maker when it comes to closing a sale. We’ve all been there. You’re getting closer and closer to making the deal happen, and you think you’re talking to the person who is going to make that decision. And just when you think you have it, they tell you they need to run it up the chain. It’s super frustrating! What we want to tell you today is that when you ask the right questions, you can uncover who the decision maker is and sell to them much sooner in the buying process. 

Points we’ll go over include:

  • Asking the right questions
  • Getting all the decision makers in one place
  • Beginning with the outcome in mind

Die hards, we want you to take personal responsibility for your sales. If you get close to a sale and you suddenly realize you’re not talking to the decision maker, don’t blame the customer. YOU didn’t find out who the decision maker really was. It’s on you to take ownership and learn from your mistakes so you can do better in the future. 

To learn more about uncovering the decision maker in the sales process, be sure to listen to episode 539 of The Sell or Die Podcast.

In this episode of The Sell or Die Podcast, we are giving you a real-life example of what NOT to do when making a sales pitch. We recently received a terrible sales pitch from a person (who shall remain nameless), but we thought it would be a great example to share with you, die hards. There’s no better teacher than real life, and we think this example will give you some insight into what to avoid when pitching and how to do better. 

Points we’ll go over include: 

  • The bad sales pitch example
  • What sucked about this pitch
  • A better way to pitch

There is no reason to engage in phony and spammy sales tactics. There is a much better way! Focus on creating win-win situations. That’s what people want to buy into. 

To learn more from this sales pitch example, be sure to listen to episode 538 of The Sell or Die Podcast.

In this episode of The Sell or Die Podcast, we are talking about how you can make sales anytime and all the time. No matter what’s going on in the world around you, you can make sales! The key is to not let anything distract you. You have to dedicate time to selling and block out anything that keeps you from concentrating on that time. 

 

Some of the points we will discuss include:

  • Dedicate time to selling
  • Cut out distractions
  • Concentrate over focus

 

No matter what’s going on around you, YOU can control your world. Put blinders on in your mind, and keep your eye on the sale. 

To hear more about making sales consistently, be sure to listen to episode 537 of The Sell or Die Podcast.

You have to earn it by providing value and creating the urgency for your customers to buy. The first sale is easy. It’s what you do to earn the second sale that really matters.
 
Some of the points we discuss include:
 
  • What makes the second sale so important
  • Jen’s example of second sale techniques
 
We challenge you to start thinking about your customers’ experience and not just the end sale. What are some ways you can provide some fun and excitement in people’s lives?
