Are you to passive or too aggressive? How you get right in the middle?

In almost every sales process there is, “Controlled tension.” This happens when there is stress around who’s controlling the process, you or the prospect. The reason you should be in control is because you have the solution, but the prospect thinks they should be in control because they have the money. This control tension gives way to the question of, “how assertive should you be in guiding the prospect through the prospect?”

In this episode, Bill and Bryan talk about “Passivity” both from a mindset standpoint and a tactical standpoint.

On this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale discuss a concept they experience far too often with their own clients, Paradigm Blindness.

We all have a certain way we do things and we become locked in to those ways. We become blind to change and don’t consider other ways to achieve greater success.

Bill and Bryan give you some tips on how to identify your own Paradigm Blindness and some ideas on how you might go about getting out of it.
