PMP# 297: Minor Updates: March 2024

Over the weekend I visited a local hardware store to enquire about purchasing a line trimmer. This is the second time I've been to the store in the last month or so and on both occasions, I left disappointed without making a purchase. I’ve talked to two salespeople now and neither one had enough product knowledge to make a clear recommendation that would solve my problem.What I need is for someone to understand my needs, talk me through a few viable options and make a recommendation on which option to go with. I want to feel confident that I’m making the right decision before I spend $500.This illustrates precisely why I sell my services in the way that I do.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » <a href="https://paulminors.com/296/">https://paulminors.com/296/</a>If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

When I sell to a prospect, I present a few options and I actually tell them which option to buy. N Nobody enjoys having to think about it. They just want to be told what to do based on their budget and situation.
