Becoming Saleswise

Bob Burg and Jeff West have teamed up to write a new book, "Streetwise to Saleswise: Become Objection Proof and Beat the Sales Blues." They join Jody and I for a conversation on the valuable principles this book teaches about sales, rejection, and overcoming objections. There are many themes in this book that relate to experiences in leadership, management, and customer service. During our conversation we talk a lot about the concept of becoming objection-proof and dispelling the myths of overcoming objections in sales. Here are my 3 key takeaways:

1. Objection-Proof Selling: Instead of trying to overcome objections, work effectively within the objection. Understand the concern, empathize with the prospect, and collaboratively address the root cause. Empathy and understanding are key.
2. Fusion Points: Harness the power of fusion points to create positive emotional responses connected with logic. This cultivates loyalty, persistence, and happiness in your prospects or clients.
3. The Power of Story: Bob and Jeff's collaboration on this parable takes the reader through a transformation from a non-salesperson to a star salesperson. The book weaves together both Bob's and Jeff's teaching on leadership, sales, and emotional connections, making it a valuable resource for anyone in sales.
