Are you spinning your wheels when it comes to selling your services to corporate companies? Perhaps you’re waiting to get all your eggs in a basket… and you’re constantly thinking about what you should sell, which products/ services to offer, how you’re going to approach companies… and not actually moving forward and landing corporate deals?

Or maybe you’ve been selling your services for a while… and you’ve been trying to scale but it’s not happening in the timeframe you want?

Spoiler: If you’re experiencing those things, then clarity – or lack of it – is definitely one of the reasons that you’re in a muddle. So grab a cup of coffee and take a listen because in this episode, I’m sharing how gaining clarity is nothing to do with theory and the ways that you’ll be able to use it to make more sales, more quickly… 

In this episode, I’m discussing;

  • Why sales ‘experts’ have been getting it wrong when they tell you that sales strategy has to come first. (06:51)
  • How sales trainers typically get a bad rap in the corporate sales world – and the difference that makes for you. (08:12)
  • Why you need to be a salesperson first and a business owner second. (20:00)
  • The secret signs that indicate you’re avoiding the B2B sales process – and why it’s hindering your growth. (21:11)
  • How making sales is nothing to do with the buyer… and why you have much more control over the sales process than you think. (23:10)
  • Why you’re overthinking clarity – and what you can do to change that so that you get better results. (25:24)
  • The vicious cycle that lack of clarity brings. (26:32)
  • Why theory is keeping you from getting any kind of clarity – and holding up your sales cycle. (28:17)
  • Why thinking too far ahead is stopping you from making progress right now. (30:58)
  • The two areas of clarity that you need in order to start taking action and seeing immediate changes in your business. (33:30)
  • How mapping out theoretical products and offers are keeping you stuck. (35:36)
  • How getting clarity will stop you worrying about your elevator pitch – and help you improve all of your negotiations. (37:34)
  • How your messaging isn’t just your written content – and the difference it makes to your close rate. (38:46)
  • The biggest business investment I ever made – and why the first part benefitted me most. (40:11)
  • When you need to revisit getting clarity in your B2B sales process. (41:37)
