Do people easily forget or confuse what it is you actually DO?
It’s often because you’re “pitching” instead of having an actual conversation where BOTH people talk.
It’s crucial to ask strategic questions when explaining your service because if you ask nothing or the typical “makes sense” - it could easily leave your buyer struggling to connect dots and losing the sale.
If your pitch doesn’t have questions embedded in it - you are missing at least 50% of the sales you could win.
This latest episode dives deep into the strategy behind check in questions that make your pitch feel like a conversation that end with your prospect saying “hell yes”
Listen in to discover:
Design strategic check in questions, specific to your offer, that “sell” someone just by asking them
Win more sales by customizing your conversation based on the answers you get to these check in questions
Know the best times to ask these check in questions for the highest impact
Harness the power of curiosity over selling and listening over talking

Few things turn off a buyer more than feeling like they’re talking to an evasive or pushy salesperson.
Even if the salesperson is someone with the best intentions, it’s the whole format of the traditional sales call that oozes sales sleaze.

If you’re looking for an alternative that positions you as an expert they can’t wait to work with then this episode is for you.
Get ready to:
Understand how to seamlessly weave your pitch into the discovery section of your call when your prospect is most open to hear it
Discover the power of empathy in sales and how it can create stronger connections, leading to more successful outcomes.
Have your prospect decide they want to work with you before you even get to the “pitch” section of your call
Proactively overcome objections instead of defending or trying to “save the sale” at the end of the call when everyone is tired.

The holiday season brings Mariah Carey music, presents and…objections from your prospects.
Unless you’re in retail you’ll usually start hearing prospects explain why they’re going to wait until the new year to move forward because of expenses, timing or a combination of the two.
You find yourself wondering “why did you book a call then?” Well, because they really NEED your help during the holidays.
Instead, they’re psyching themselves out thinking about the presents they need to buy and time off to celebrate.
In fact, you might be thinking the same thing about yourself. Which leads you to buy your prospect’s objection and end up with little to no sales the last 2 months of the year.
In this short episode, I break down an easy way to navigate this popular, seasonal sales challenge.
Listen in to discover:
Creating offers specific to your customer’s holiday needs that make it easy to say “yes”
Understanding why the holidays are actually the BEST time to move forward
Strategically structuring your sales conversations to head off holiday objections before they start
Examining your own holiday objections which could be affecting your sales conversations

The #1 element that impacts any and every company’s bottom line is leadership and most people have no idea what they’re doing.
That’s where Angie Colee comes in. As a leadership and communication coach with decades of experience, she has proven approaches that diffuse tense situations and inspire employee loyalty you can’t buy no matter how much you’re paying.
She’s sharing them with us in this value packed episode! And the parallels with effective leadership and effective sales are honestly uncanny.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Inspire loyalty with simple practices that are far more effective than the standard “open door policy”
Diffuse tense situations in seconds and instantly create solution focused environments instead
Open any tense conversation with 4 words that immediately reframe conflict into a collaborative, problem solving discussion
Create an emotionally safe environment that brings out people’s best
Tailor your leadership strategies to each relationship (because leadership is not a one size fits all!)
If Angie’s real, raw approach to leadership speaks to you like it did to me then I highly recommend checking her out at www.permissiontokickass.com and/or listen to her podcast Permission to Kick Ass.
