Don’t Just Sell

Everyone in sales knows the feeling: leads dry up, yeses turn to maybes, and suddenly you’re questioning everything. For us women, it can be even worse because when we hit a slump, we're tempted to overhaul everything and start from scratch. But that’s actually making it worse!   In this episode, I’m sharing how to bust your sales slump and have more sustained hot streaks. You’ll hear about a client of mine who just went through this exact situation, how I helped her overcome her doubts, and why optimism (not positivity) was the secret key to success.   If you’re ready to take it one step further, I’m sharing my free Resilience Builder workbook.

Most companies hand their sales reps a script because they don't trust them to know what to say. If you've ever read those words out loud and thought “this doesn't sound like me,” you're right. It doesn't.  Most sales scripts were written by men, for men, and women in sales are left trying to make someone else's words fit. But when you're focused on reciting the right words, you stop listening to your prospect, and that's exactly when you lose the sale. This episode will change how you think about: What a script is actually signaling to your prospects The difference between reciting words and making a real connection Why your own words are more powerful than anything you've been handed This episode is for you if you're ready to stop sounding like every other sales person, and start sounding more like yourself.

Most women in sales aren't struggling with follow-up because they don't know how. They're struggling because they don't want to be a bother.  Your instinct to be considerate (while completely understandable) is quietly costing you deals that were already yours to close. If you're ready to stop letting politeness get in the way of your pipeline, this episode is for you. You'll learn: Why the follow-up gap has nothing to do with your skills What the data says about how many touchpoints it actually takes to close How to build a follow-up cadence that feels personal, not pushy This is exactly what I help my 1:1 coaching clients with.

You've been taught to know your competition inside and out. Know their offer, know their clients, know what car they drive. The more you know, the better your chances of winning the sale.

You’ll learn: How knowing your competition too well is actually working against you Why a scarcity mindset burns out saleswomen faster than any quota ever could What your prospects have been waiting for you to do instead Use this link to get in touch with me about bringing this training to your organization: https://rebeccakilday.com/podcast-2/ – Most sales podcasts give you more tactics.

I've seen some pretty terrible sales advice on social media lately, especially when it comes to the pricing conversation. When someone asks your price, tell them to guess? The person who names a number first loses? In this episode, I break down the worst pricing advice floating around social media and share what *actually* works when you need to discuss money with prospects, without being manipulative or eroding trust.  You’ll learn: Why withholding price until the end costs you sales (and when you should bring it up instead) The pricing games that make you look incompetent How my medspa client increased revenue 11% in one week by getting comfortable with price conversations My anchor range strategy that helps gives you negotiation room while building trust Use this link to get in touch with me about bringing this training to your organization: https://rebeccakilday.com/podcast-2/ – Most sales podcasts give you more tactics.
