The Advanced Selling Podcast

Bill and Bryan continue their deep dive into evolving buyer behavior with some eye-opening insights that challenge conventional sales wisdom. In this episode, they tackle the myth of "the decision maker." They explore how buying by committee has become the new normal and why your traditional one-to-one sales training might be preparing you for a world that no longer exists.

The guys also discuss the critical importance of elevating the buyer experience beyond just data dumps, why price objections aren't as prominent as they used to be (and the generational factors behind this shift), and how successful salespeople need to paint a clear picture of transformation rather than just making promises.

Whether you're struggling to navigate complex buying committees or wondering why your data-heavy presentations aren't closing deals, this episode offers strategies for adapting to today's buyer reality.

In this solo episode, Bill explores the critical concept of believing in your own economic value as a sales professional. Drawing from his document “The 15 Profit Amplifiers” created for clients, Bill discusses how understanding the economic impact of your solution transforms your ability to communicate value to prospects.

Bill examines two primary ways your solution can deliver economic value: by alleviating pain points that cost customers money or by helping them achieve aspirational goals like increased revenue and profitability. The most powerful position is when your solution accomplishes both simultaneously. Whether your customers need to save money, make more money, or improve efficiencies, this episode provides valuable insights on how to identify, internalize, and articulate your true economic value proposition.
