Share Tweet Share 2. By Tibor Shanto. In every cultural ritual, say like sales, that unfolds over and over, not just for the individuals involved in it day to day, selling and buying, buying and selling, and over again; people tend to see events as they unfold, through their narrow set of filters.

Sales will always be a persuasion game, but the biggest obstacles to success are actually cognitive biases rooted deep in the human brain. The brain has evolved in strange ways. It has developed mental shortcuts around rational thought: like factory-settings that help us avoid change by ignoring, rejecting, or modifying what we hear. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes sense: craving routine made life safer and easier.

By different types of sales, we’re referring to the styles that salespeople will adopt when they are with prospects and customers. Either face-to-face or online.

This isn’t another blog to add fuel to the fire around the debate of cold calling v. social selling and which one is better. When done properly, data has shown that cold calling and social selling are both effective. Data has also proven that sales teams who implement a multi-channel prospecting approach that includes cold calling, social selling, and emailing into their outreach cadences produces significantly better results than teams that did not.

Everyone wants to feel special. It’s a basic human emotional need. And as I—and many other sales experts—have noted repeatedly, buying decisions are emotional at their core. Which means the more you can fulfill your prospect’s emotional needs, the more likely they are to buy from you, and the more frequently they’ll buy from you. [.].

Sales reps often refer to receptionists, assistants, and phone operators as gatekeepers—and for good reason. These professionals have the job of screening calls, deciding what’s important, and ultimately, who gets through to their boss—the decision maker. Essentially, gatekeepers hold the key to B2B sales success. If you can’t convince a gatekeeper you’re important, you can kiss that sale goodbye.
