@simonsinek: The difference between an average salesperson and a great one is 25 more questions. The best salespeople lead with curiosity. Every question uncovers a deeper understanding of the challenge someone is trying to solve. Understanding comes before solutions. That's why the best sales conversations feel like conversations—not pitches. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of A Bit of Optimism wherever you get your podcasts.

Amazon created the one click buy for a reason. Streamlining sales is legitimately the goal.

And I stopped most sales people call me after two questions and ask what the hell did they have to sell them? Me just shoot me straight so I can figure out if that works or not, and we can move on with our lives

My sales mentor gave me a quote and printed and framed it for me desk. It says, “don’t forget to shut up”

A salesman talks. A closer listens. Decide which one you want to be.

Sales is just giving people what they want without thinking selfishly, without being an asshole, just listening to their needs, their problem, and giving them the product that solves that problem and showing them what life will look like after they engage with your product or service that solves that problem. It's really simple. It doesn't take a Simon Sinek mentality to figure this shit out. Zig Ziglar has been talking about it way before Simon was ever on the scene

We can it customer solutions for exactly that reason. In order to find a solution one must ask many questions to understand the needs and challenges.

it's difficult to find good clean packing ice in the northern communities. people travel there to hunt and fish and need to ice pack their catches to bring them back.
I guess that's why the 32 questions are needed😁

There is only one way in sales.
from point A (product) and point b (sales pay) the time you take from A To B, is how much time you get distracted. effortless, disanimated.

The No More 9 to 5 Club :
This is the difference between pitching and selling. Most salespeople show up with a script. The best ones show up with questions. When you lead with curiosity, you stop guessing what the customer needs and start hearing it directly from them. Every question peels back another layer. Every layer gives you more clarity on how to help. The sale doesn't happen when you talk. It happens when they feel understood. That only comes from asking better questions than your competition

the goal of asking more questions is to wear down the victim until they give up. rape culture repackaged. the salesman isn't doing the victim any favor, the goal of the process is to take the money of the victim.
