How One Rep Won a Deal by Asking the Buyer to Fire a Supplier
from Closing the Deal with Fexingo: Sales, Negotiation, and Revenue Conversations for Operators · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive sales move: asking a prospect to fire an existing supplier before letting them buy. They break down a real case where a software sales rep, facing a procurement freeze, turned a 'not now' into a 'yes' by reframing the decision as a question of loyalty vs. results. The episode dives into the psychology of supplier inertia, the power of a forced trade-off, and why sometimes the best close is making the buyer feel the pain of not changing. Specific numbers and script snippets included. If you've ever been stalled by 'we're happy with our current vendor,' this one's for you. #Sales #Negotiation #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClosingTheDeal #SalesStrategy #BuyerPsychology #SupplierInertia #VendorSwitch #TradeOff #SalesTactics #Revenue #PodcastEpisode #SalesTips #B2BSales #Procurement #SalesTraining Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
