Derrick highlights the buying experience and the many factors that come into play when deciding how to make your sellers more effective. HIGHLIGHTS Why some salespeople still show up unprepared about their products Don't confuse personalization and being personal The effect of urgency in the sales process and buyer's journey Creating a positive buying experience as a seller QUOTES On the importance of doing research beforehand - Derrick: "At the very least, I could guesstimate information about their competitors or ask a colleague for some information. And just before I even started planting seeds about my business or my solution, try to figure out a little bit about what they're all about. And if not, if I didn't know it, start asking questions about it." The sense of FOMO and what it means for sellers - Derrick: "I think the only reason why we have so much news out there is to keep you informed. So, you're staying ahead, you're staying on top of [the] trend and that is a form of not missing out. So I don't think it's ever going to go away as a trend to attract people.
