The problem might not be your product, but your failure to adapt to your buyer's unique personality! In this video from the sources, we dive into live questions from the Sprint Club about how to close deals at a higher rate and stop losing near-wins. The key to success is understanding the three distinct types of buyers: Red, Green, and Blue. • Red Buyers (The CEOs): Quick, decisive, impulsive, and focused purely on ROI and competitive advantages. They have zero patience for details and just want to know that your solution works.• Green Buyers (The Consensus Seekers): Relationship-driven and talkative. They take their time, rely on client testimonials, and require human-to-human connection and team consensus before making a purchase.• Blue Buyers (The Analysts): Objective, risk-averse, and driven by facts and figures. They hate "sales talk" and prefer measurable results, spreadsheets, and processes.Learn why the best salespeople aren't just "authentic"—they are highly adaptable. We cover the most common, deal-killing mistakes people make based on their own color profiles:• If you are a Red seller: You might be losing deals by being too aggressive and pitching ROI to Green buyers before building rapport, or lacking the step-by-step facts that Blue buyers demand.• If you are a Green seller: You are likely spending way too much time trying to build a relationship with impatient Red buyers who just want you to cut to the chase.• If you are a Blue seller: You are probably drowning your prospects in data and spreadsheets before they even care about the results or the human connection. Stop losing deals and start tailoring your pre-call plans to help your clients buy in the way that suits them best!

Discover why the human factor is the one thing you can never outsource and how to make your team feel truly valued. In this episode of the Sales Show with Simon Severino, executive coach, author, and podcast host Dr. William reveals what does not change for leaders in an era of rapid AI advancement. While AI brings incredible workflow efficiency, it cannot truly see, hear, or appreciate your team on a human level. Dr. William breaks down the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace—Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch—and explains why treating your team with a "one-size-fits-all" approach leaves 56% of them feeling unrecognized. In this video, you will learn: The limits of AI: Why automated workflows are fantastic for repetitive tasks but can never replace genuine empathy, understand body language, or help people grow into better versions of themselves. How to properly appreciate your team: Stop relying solely on tangible gifts like bonuses or gift cards (which only appeal to 9% of people) and learn to speak your employees' unique appreciation languages to boost retention and the bottom line. A Biblical framework for leadership: How valuing every individual changes workplace relationships and how you can call out a person's best potential without compromising your high standards. Overcoming leadership confusion: Why finding clarity is the ultimate kindness for leaders struggling to navigate the fast-paced changes and lack of predictability in today's business environment.

Discover why the most popular sales advice might be completely wrong when put to the test of real science. In this episode of the Sales Show, Simon Severino sits down with Professor Lorenzo Bizzi to uncover the actual data behind B2B sales success. Drawing from four years of research and his new book, Myths Versus Science of Selling, Professor Bizzi reveals what happens when you compare popular sales hearsay against the actual behaviors of hundreds of thousands of salespeople. In this video, you will learn: The Prospecting Paradox: Why using traditional conversational "hooks" to make it difficult for prospects to say "no" actually backfires and creates resistance. Learn why you should make it easier for them to decline or withdraw from the conversation to build comfort. The Real Reason People Don't Buy: Buyers don't resist because they don't understand your product's benefits—they resist because they feel uncertain and unsafe. Discover how your primary goal as a salesperson is to shift a buyer from "I think" to "I am sure" by acting as an agent of clarity. How to Cure Call Anxiety: Discover how simplifying your approach not only reduces buyer resistance but also prevents the rude rejections that cause high turnover and call anxiety in sales teams. The Only Influence Tactic That Works Early On: Why asking "how have you been?" has limited effectiveness, and why establishing immediate social proof is the most powerful way to buy five minutes of a prospect's time. Building Decade-Long Partnerships: Forget the Wagu steaks and golf games. Inspired by the legendary partnership of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, learn how acting like a consultant to solve root-cause problems—even if it means reviewing alternative solutions outside of your own product—is the ultimate trust builder. Why "Truth Doesn't Sell": Understand the core philosophy that while exaggerated claims and beautiful stories capture attention, only data-backed truth makes you sell. Whether you are struggling with how to prospect, how to follow up, or how to get a meeting with a decision-maker, this episode provides the scientific data you need to lower buyer uncertainty and close more deals. 🐬 Join the Sprint Club: https://www.strategysprints.com ⚡️ Free Tools: https://www.strategysprints.com/tools CONNECT WITH ME 🐦 X: https://x.com/simonseverino 👋 LinkedIn: https://at.linkedin.com/in/simonseverino 🎉 Free Community: strategysprints.com   ACCELERATE YOUR SALES 🐬 Business Coaching: https://www.strategysprints.com 🌴 Sales Show: https://www.youtube.com/@simonseverinosales 💪 Investing Show: https://www.youtube.com/@InvestingShow   SIMON SEVERINO Simon Severino is the CEO of Strategy Sprints.

The problem isn't your price—it's your pricing MODEL. Simon Severino (coached Fortune 500s on pricing strategy) reveals why most businesses are stuck in outdated pricing tiers and how to evolve toward the future: 100% goal alignment where pricing power becomes automatic. 1. TIME-BASED (The Old World—Selling Expertise) Example: Boston Consulting Group (hourly/daily rates) Junior consultants cost less, senior partners cost more Problem: Not aligned with client outcomes Status: All major consultancies scrambling to change this model 2. SEAT-BASED (Charging Per User) Example: Notion ($10/seat → $15/seat in business tier) Genius: Scales to profits quickly (minimal cost increase per seat) Problem: Still not outcome-aligned 3. SKILL-BASED (Pay More for Sophisticated Capabilities) Examples: ChatGPT (3.5 Turbo vs 4.0), Claude (upgrade to Max), Grok Research Pay to unlock faster models, advanced features, research modes Better than time/seat, but not the future 4.

Simon Severino reveals the 30-year ascension model that lets you sell ONE service FOUR times and 3-5x your business value overnight. No new products needed. Most founders make the same fatal mistake: they think more products = more revenue. Wrong. Simon Severino (22 years experience) and Jay Abraham (40+ years) prove you can multiply revenue by repackaging what you already have—no building, no new offerings, just strategic unbundling. The 4-Offer Framework (One Product, Four Ways to Sell It): 1. ATTRACTION OFFER (Gets them in the door) Low/zero margins—designed to attract, not profit High-ticket businesses can afford time/money investment here Lifetime value justifies acquisition cost 2. UPSELL OFFER (Your profit maker—3-10x the downsell) Premium flagship program with implementation, guarantees, customization Most high-ticket buyers WANT the premium option (feels safer, more validated) Where you make real money 3. DOWNSELL OFFER (Catches 30-50% of "no" responses) For those who can't afford/aren't ready for main offer Still generates revenue from otherwise lost opportunities "Not the right budget? No problem, here's this..." 4.
