What makes a salesperson a superstar?  Veteran sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale get into today’s Mailbag Monday episode with a conversation with Butch Bellah, author of Sales Management for Dummies and The 10 Essentials of Sales Superstars.

They discuss Butch’s recommendations for how salespeople can truly become superstars, including understanding that people buy what they want and not what they need. Do you walk your customers through a “Needs Analysis” or “Pain Finding” tool as part of your sales process?  Butch says most salespeople are missing the opportunity in doing so.

Instead, he suggests a “Want Analysis” to help you understand what’s in your customer’s head.  In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan learn from Butch about mastering the art of problem finding, not just pain finding. Butch shares how there is much to be learned about sales from his experience with heart surgery, and you’ll walk away from this episode with a new outlook on offering solutions to your customers.
