For many of us, April marks the start of a new quarter, fresh targets and quota and new opportunities to focus on. Sometimes you hit your quarterly number with weeks to spare, other times you’re pushing in any deal you can to Make It Happen by the end of that third month. I received this email last week (looks like the end of someone’s Q1), which is a great example of sales done wrong, in my opinion.

Buyer and seller negotiations are a fun dance. While these negotiations are usually partner-focused (win-win), buyers often use standoffish tactics to gain an advantage in the negotiation at the seller's expense. Even if you—as the seller—have a win-win mindset and approach, you need to know how to maneuver the situation when buyers throw you curveballs.

Ready to grow your business? Who isn’t? The problem is that it can be frustrating, confusing, and hard! So, let’s simplify it. Generate more leads and then convert them. Of course, doing this isn’t easy. Lead gen and lead conversion both need effort, time, confidence, resources, and skill. While my focus is on equipping people to increase their conversion rates with collaborative conversations that sell*, that doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough leads or prospects to convert.

But picture a world where you’ll only talk to people who want to talk to you, get meetings with one call, and collapse your prospecting time. That’s the world of referral sales.

Buyers are savvier, buying teams are larger, and new research shows that buyers' attention spans have dropped to just 8 seconds.
