When Your Territory and Products Are Stagnant

The mailbag question from a pharma-rep listener leads to a deeper discussion about the role a sales person should play in the sales cycle. It begins with a question on how you continue to bring value to your customers.

The Answer Behind The Answer

Most salespeople realize they must ask questions in order to find information.  The challenge though is that when they do, the prospect or client feels interrogated or impelled to give an answer even if it’s not truthful.

Bill and Bryan discuss a helpful tip from Seth Godin’s Blog, “No business buys a solution for a problem they don’t have…. And so the marketing challenge is to sell the problem.”

The 2Bs tackle this issue with examples on how salespeople can seek the pain and truth, while keeping the prospect okay throughout the process.
