This episode of the Live Better Sell Better Podcast features Sam Schaut, Corporate Sales Manager at Sharebite. A standout customer experience begins with the salesperson, the prospect's first touchpoint with you. The tone is key and Sam highlights that how you say something is just as important as what you say.
Tone sets the mood for the entire sales interaction, so salespeople must find an authentic tone that resonates. Sam discusses some inherent qualities of an authentic salesperson based on Danny Meyer's principles in Setting the Table, and how a consistent framework and process reps can rely on is central to a great customer experience.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Danny Meyer's Excellence Reflex or core emotional skills - Sam: "The first is optimistic warmth, the second is intelligence, but the way that he defines intelligence I would more closely relate to natural curiosity. The third one is empathy, the fourth one is self-awareness and integrity, and then the fifth one which is sort of the title of the book is the way that he defines work ethic which is people who care enough to take great care and pride in setting the table beautifully each time."
The best salespeople find key business insight for prospects - Sam: "People talk a lot about a consultative sales process or being a "trusted advisor". I think that gets conflated a lot for being the opposite of an "old-school seller". Like it's this big departure, but in my opinion, every great seller I've ever talked to at any age, at any time, with any amount of technology, they all do that. They're all finding a key business insight that either the prospect didn't know about, or they knew about but no one's been talking about it."
