Broken Salespeople

Red Stafstrom

We Fix Broken Salespeople. If you feel like something is "off" in your sales career and want to figure out what it is, this is the podcast for you. After having a breakdown in 2015 Red discovered that he needed to try to do things differently. He then spent years taking apart and rebuilding sales processes to make it work the right way. Many of the old cliches did not survive the testing process. If you are frustrated by your sales, join us in the workshop. Until then. Go fix yourself.

There are a bunch of metaphors used to explain sales, but many of them leave something to be desired. Some of them, while they work from a marketing standpoint, explain sales the wrong way and in a manner that can actively hurt your perceptions of how to talk to and treat customers. Red discussed these metaphors and talks about some better metaphors for understanding the sales process.

play

10/22/20 • 14 min

The terms Type A and Alpha have been misconstrued for decades. The problem is they are so intertwined with male identities and sales that it is tough to break away from them. I explain the myth of both terms and why you are better off being vulnerable in front of customers.

It is easy to look at our customers and talk about how emotional or unreasonable they are, but how often do we look at our own emotions within an organization? Are we actually treating ourselves like human beings with complex emotions or are we treating ourselves like replaceable statistics?

There is a phrase you see a lot in the business and self help world. "You either win or you learn." And while that is true most of the time, there is a toxic element of that idea that we need to discuss. This episode Red talks about how that idea can overlap with Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, and the NXIVM cult from upstate New York.
