    New Call-to-action

    In the latest episode of the Art and Science of Complex Sales podcast, Paul Fuller sits down with Bob Apollo, CEO & Founder of Inflexion Point to discuss the importance of a customer-centric approach in sales.

     

    During the conversation, Bob emphasized the importance of salespeople understanding what the customer considers a successful outcome. He suggests that although the salesperson may not be the primary contact throughout the entire sales cycle, they should begin with a clear understanding of the customer's desired outcome and work backward from there.  

     

     

    In addition, Bob emphasizes the value of employing natural language and avoiding forced or scripted lines when engaging with customers. He suggests integrating the agreement seamlessly into the conversation, ensuring that it doesn't appear as an attempt to manipulate or pressure the customer.

     

    Key Highlights Include:

    • Different mindsets - 2:58
    • The five layers of active planning - 15:06
    • Building authentic interactions - 19:38


     

    By incorporating these strategies, sales professionals can enhance their effectiveness by aligning their approach with the customer's needs and preferences, ultimately fostering stronger and more meaningful connections with potential clients.
