#1139 - Selling the dots...

You think it's too obvious to say. So you don't say it. And your buyer quietly walks away. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why being obvious beats being clear, why you should never make your buyer connect the dots, and a simple hack to find the obvious things you're missing. Steve Jobs said you can only connect the dots looking back. In selling, I think he was wrong. Your buyer shouldn't have to connect anything. The moment they have to work stuff out for themselves, you start to lose them. And they won't tell you why. I explain why we skip the obvious stuff. We worry we'll insult people. We won't. I share how I always explain acronyms, even basic ones, and what happened when I explained SaaS at an event. Then I give you a quick way to find your missing dots by testing your pitch on someone who knows nothing about your business.
