Join us to learn more!   Joining us today is John DeRosa, Director of Contractor Training at SRS Distribution.

He’s a legend in the contracting industry who stays busy coaching and teaching salespeople, and he’s sharing his sales expertise with us today.   What you’ll hear in this episode: What John does today in traveling and teaching sales skills to contractors What to consider in selling a roof at the price you need How the psychology of price can work FOR you and not against you Why transparency, confidence, and knowing the numbers are working for John DeLaurier  Why sales skills are a series of definable and repeatable steps that EVERYONE can learn How to take the first HUGE step toward a more successful sales process Common mistakes salespeople make that lead to sales objections Why your price does NOT depend on what a competitor is charging John DeRosa: “Sales are made emotionally and justified rationally.” How “people” in your pictures and presentations in ads and on social media make ALL the difference in relationship-building How to ask the right questions in sales conversations AND listen to the prospective customer How sales conversation role-playing and rehearsing a script can help you sound less “scripted” Final words from John DeRosa: “Be accountable and stop blaming everyone else. At the end of the day, it’s about your reactions and behaviors. What are you doing to bend the probability curve in your favor and put yourself in a position to win?”  Resources: Connect with John: Website, Email, Business Builders podcast, and SRS Sales Academy on Facebook Time is running out!
