Sales Pros—prospects can actually look forward to your contact when you create FusionPoints™ before reaching out. You’ve identified perfect prospects. They meet your ideal client parameters. Everything looks right. You’re ready to make contact. There’s significant earnings potential. You’re prepared. The excitement of beginning a new client relationship is just around the bend. (I think I’m channeling my inner Johnny Cash… 🎶 I hear that sale a comin’, it’s rollin’ round the bend, and I ain’t met my quota, since I don’t know when…🎸) But you can’t get the first meeting booked. Prospects aren’t taking your call or replying to emails. Drop by in person, and you’re met with the dreaded, “They only see salespeople with an appointment.” You’re thinking, “How can I set an appointment when I can’t even get anyone to talk with me?” 💡 Here’s what’s happening: unexpected contacts from salespeople create one of three brain responses. 1️⃣ Some have heard of your company and know they need you. Your potential solution creates a positive emotional response. They’ll say yes. (Don’t you wish they all went that way?) With this group, you’ll succeed if you make enough calls, but your process isn’t as efficient as it could be. 2️⃣ Some consider a cold call an interruption. You’re creating a collision point—the mix of negative emotion and logic. They’ll push away from the interaction, say no, or not take your call. 3️⃣ Some know nothing of you and couldn’t care less. They’re focused on their own day and ignore your efforts. There’s no emotional context. The third group hasn’t been given a reason to say yes… yet. So give them one. To alter the course, work with the brain’s neurology—which produces every decision. Intentionally generate a positive emotional response—and combine it with the logic of how your product or service betters their world. Create FusionPoints™ in your model by priming the prospecting pump. Start with three touches that stimulate a positive emotional response before your first contact. Then, when you combine the logic of your value with that positive emotion, the brain’s neurology helps move the process forward. In chapters 8 and 9 of Bob Burg’s and my book "Streetwise to Saleswise," Thaddeus learns how to apply this strategy—you’ll find helpful ideas there. We’re all creatures of habit. So you might be thinking, “I’ve always done this a different way. That seems like more work. I don’t know if I want to do that.” I understand. Your concern is valid. If that’s you, may I suggest something? Test it—and prove me wrong. :-) Without stopping your normal prospecting flow, pick 25 target prospects and try what I’m suggesting. Track the results. Then go out there and sell something! :-) Will you put priming the prospecting pump to the test? Share in the comments.

Seller notes get a bad reputation in SMB deals.   Buyers hesitate to ask for them. Sellers hesitate to offer them. And deals that could close fall apart.   So where does the stigma come from?   𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 “𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻” 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱. Fake dealmakers push 100% seller financing. Sellers hear it and think: “Why should I take all the risk while the buyer puts in nothing?” That mindset has soured many sellers on notes altogether.   𝟮. 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀. Plenty of lawyers, brokers, and consultants preach: The only money a seller can count on is what’s paid at closing. The message: seller notes are risky and unreliable.   Both views miss the point.   A well-structured seller note: • Aligns incentives, keeping the seller invested post-closing. • Bridges valuation gaps without stalling the deal. • Protects sellers with clear remedies if payments aren’t made.   Yes, it isn’t cash on the table. But they can give sellers more leverage than sitting behind the bank. And in a strong company, with a capable buyer and good terms, the odds of default are far lower than the myths suggest.   Seller notes aren’t “dirty.” They’re one of the most practical tools to align interests and get deals done.   Good dealmakers don’t run from them. They use them to close gaps, manage risk, and finish the deal.   𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲�� 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳? #SellerFinancing #MergersAndAcquistions #SMB #BusinessBuying

Stop selling speeches. Companies don't hire speakers; they hire smart people who speak. Public speaking is simply a medium of communication; a platform from which we deliver solutions to problems. In this clip, I explain.

Too many sales reps lead with features. High-performing reps lead with listening. When you uncover the language of finance, operations, or the CEO you’re not selling, you’re connecting. Want to close bigger, strategic deals? Start by speaking their language. #SalesTraining #B2BSales #ClientRelationships #StrategicSelling #SalesLeadership #BusinessGrowth #StrategicGrowthGroup

A helpful Sandler Rule: Use third-party stories. . . Stories build trust, lower defenses, and help prospects see themselves in the situation. 👉 Have you used this technique before? What are your thoughts? And remember—sometimes the right answer is “not now.” Setting expectations and giving clients permission to say “no” makes them feel safe, keeps the relationship strong, and opens the door for future conversations.
