TSE 1348: The Top Three Issues Killing Your Sales Deals

The Top Three Issues Killing Your Sales Deals   Are your sales suffering because your deals are getting cut off? In this episode we will address some of the issues that can kill deals. George Bronten is the founder and CEO of Membrain.com, a sales enablement CRM.    Things killing your sales deals Even before the pandemic, assumptions are one of the reasons why deals get killed. Salespeople make decisions based on assumptions and with sales being a very broad profession, it involves a lot of processes and complex solutions. Because it can be complex, you can’t make decisions based just on a “type” of person or solution. This can lead to wrong conclusions.   Many salespeople think they’re disciplined people but they may not be consistent. True discipline isn’t a one-time thing. It has to be repeated daily.   Selling is about helping someone improve their situation. This means you don’t have to sell to everyone, but you do want to offer help.    People are rational and emotional beings. Sales reps may be complicating their sales process without meaning to. It’s best to slow down and look at the problem. It’s important to know what you want to accomplish in order for that goal to guide your steps.    Keep learning For sales reps to keep evolving, you must continue learning the new information that comes out. Ask questions if you don’t understand the information you need to be successful. A little vulnerability is effective. Keep it simple and look for just one or two things that you can improve and start from there. Identify the one thing that’s holding your sales back and fix it.    “The Top Three Issues Killing Your Sales Deals” episode resources  Connect with George Bronten via his LinkedIn account.
