Episode #473: Artificially Deflating Yourself Is Worse Than Inflation

, , ,

In this episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address part two of their Inflation/Deflation series.

Today’s episode is how we often deflate our own power in the sales process. Most of the time it happens in negotiation, the sales process itself or when we need to find other decision-makers to go call on.

Bill and Bryan give you some ideas on how to see yourself and your role to help you navigate through this tendency and temptation to self-deflate.

Episode #472: Arrogance, Self-Importance and Self-Awareness

, , ,

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, veteran sales trainers Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale discuss a situation that came up for both of them in the past week with different clients. In both cases, the guys felt like there was a heightened sense of self-importance that was larger than reality.

In this first of a two part series, Bill and Bryan give you some ideas on how you can catch yourself if you start to slip into this “lack of self-awareness” around your role.

Part two, coming next week, is about how we often deflate our own self-importance, which is just as equally a problem.
