Want to make dealing with objections easier? Then remember to always use the powerful technique of isolating the objection instead of answering it…. I can’t tell you how many recordings I listen to each week where sales reps are still struggling to deal with objections because they insist on trying to overcome them. It’s a lot of work. Not only that, but after you’ve given your response, have you ever found that your prospect just comes up with another objection?

Recently, I was having a discussion with an executive team. Proudly, they said they were data driven and bragged about the dashboards they used to manage the business. They asked me to look at the dashboards to provide recommendations about what they might be doing. I looked at the dashboards, at first glance, I was impressed–tracking pipeline, tasks, lead disposition, prospecting, mix, accounts, perormance by sales person, and more.

Mick Jagger said it perfectly, "You can't always get what you want.". The world around you is going to throw you curveballs. Nothing is promised, and in many cases, you're going to have to adapt to situations that don't go according to plan. That premise — not always getting what you want and having to adapt — is the basis for a sales practice known as down-selling.

My first book, The Only Sales Guide You’ll Ever Need , is really a competency model for success in B2B sales. The book contains two parts, the first part I titled “Mindset,” the second, “Skills.” There are nine individual chapters in the first half of the book and eight in the latter half. Let’s leave the skills for another post and focus instead on “Mindset,” which is a set of character traits.

Sellers are having to work harder, get more “yeses,” and get more company stakeholders on the same page about ” why you?” and ” why now ?” than ever before. And that last part is the hardest aspect of just about any sale. In B2B sales, getting multiple decision makers on board is a dream. And these days, it’s becoming more and more necessary. This might sound overwhelming, but it’s doable.

Like Steve Jobs and Travis Kalanick, even you thought of embarking on the entrepreneurial journey. Congratulations! That was a brave move.

Are You “Cleared to Sell?”. “You’re cleared for takeoff.” By the time an airline pilot receives that confirmation from the control tower, you can bet that a pre-flight safety checklist has been performed. The goal: for every takeoff, a corresponding landing at the intended destination.
