Stump The Guru Podcast

Have you had a sales conversation that felt just “perfect?”

The chemistry between you two was solid, their problem was clearly articulated, you helped them see that you can solve their problem and everything just felt “right”.

Then at the end of the call, they surprisingly say: “This has been really helpful, let me think about this and I’ll get back to you.”

That’s when they fall into the “black hole” of follow-up, where you’re forced to “chase” them to get back in touch.

What if you could avoid dropping your qualified prospects into the “black hole” of chasing?

Linear selling models create mistrust in a split second - the moment prospects sense that, although you seem to be interested in their problems and issues, you're actually trying to lead the discussion toward a close. When you do this, you’re coaxing, persuading, and pushing things forward ... Which will cause the prospect to put up a wall, the opposite response to what you want.
In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I'll be talking about “Is Selling Linear or Is It A "Deep-Dive?”. I've made it my life’s mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.

Building a relationship is about building rapport... which is often ineffective for solving problems. In fact, how many times does being friendly and agreeable get in the way of telling someone what they need to hear?
Building trust with your potential client is about what I call “going down the iceberg.”
Going down the iceberg as an advisor means helping your potential client understand the gravity of their situation and the implications of not addressing it.
It’s an iceberg because the implications are often much larger than they realize. If you concentrate on building trust by going down this iceberg with your potential clients, instead of educating them on your solutions, you’ll be surprised at how many new clients jump on board with you and even pay you a planning fee, simply because your approach was so different from every other advisor they’ve encountered.
In this episode of Stump The Guru show, I'll be talking about Going down the iceberg vs. Going towards the sale. I've made it my life’s mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.

You’ve probably heard this over and over in your career. “If you hear an objection, immediately overcome it and move towards making the sale.” That’s a very one-sided approach to a moment that could get awkward quickly.

Objections are challenges raised by prospects. They put pressure on you, and they can bring your conversation to a halt, or help it grow. The traditional sales mindset will have you defending yourself, chasing them, and lowering your pricing. It’s not a fun game. The new sales mindset is about objections being a way to get to the truth of your prospects situation without all of the other “stuff”.

In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I'll be talking about Taking Out The Pressure: Overcome vs. Diffusing Objections. I've made it my life’s mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.
