Why Buyers HATE Your Sales Process | Jake Dunlap | Ep. 288 (Sell)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Understand the VEX Scale: Classify prospects as Vetted (using a competitor), Educated (familiar but undecided), Cold (new to the space), or Self-Service. Tailor your approach accordingly. Ask About Their Journey: Send an email upfront asking where they are in their learning process. This helps you position the conversation at the right level. Skip Basic Discovery for Vetted Prospects: If they already use a competitor, focus on their current solution’s gaps and ideal outcomes instead of re-explaining the category. Avoid Restarting Discovery: When new stakeholders join later calls, recap prior findings first, then ask how those problems impact their specific role.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS When getting in person, try to dress the same "level" as your customer's office attire. When in doubt, dress one notch nicer. Use the right communication tool for the job. Synchronous conversation wins. Use this decision criteria for when to meet your customer in-person: size of deal, proximity to your location, and stage in the sales process (discovery phase is ideal). Before the meeting, ask yourself, “What is the micro-commitment I want from the prospect at the end of this meeting?” PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB CEO @ Sales Gravy Author of People Follow You: The Real Secret to What Matters in Leadership Author of People Buy You: The Real Secret to What Matters Most in Business Vice President of Sales @ KGB RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS The best product doesn’t always win — the team that has the most conversations with customers, investors, and partners does. Every week — test an industry, persona, and problem in your early-stage outbound. Over 12 weeks, you need to rip through 12 market segments to find your ICP. Play laptop closed! See how long you can go without opening your demo to sell a deal. Don’t worry about the two, three, or four-year deals. Win customers in year one, and if your product is right, you’ll keep them in year two and beyond.

169 (Sell): Your Path to President's Club Starts With "No" (Taylor Corr, Head of SMB & Mid Market Sales @ Quantcast)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Use the last 20 minutes of your workday to plan for the day ahead. Map out your calls, emails, and time blocks. Default to saying no. Don't let random requests distract you from generating revenue. Match your activity to your energy level. If you're high energy in the afternoons, use that time to cold call! Avoid interruptions by blocking your time in one-hour increments. The non-urgent requests can wait until the top of the hour.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Leverage the power of 7-38-55: 7 percent of meaning is communicated through words, 38 percent through tone, and 55 percent through body language. Encourage friction in your sales cycle; it means that your customer is engaged. When showing a demo, tell your customers what you're gonna show, show 'em, then tell them what you showed. The "Barack Obama Objection Response" - When you get hit with an objection, acknowledge factors impacting their perspective and ask if they would be open to hearing a different perspective.
