Some salespeople are stuck in the past
Today adaptability is the key to success
Clinging to 'Olde Worlde' sales techniques is a sure way to lag behind
The era of salespeople being the loudest voice in the room, using technical jargon and outdated tactics is over
This approach not only alienates today’s more educated customers but also ruins potential meaningful connections
It doesn't work and they don't like it
Lets address this with

How to sell with a modern touch
🔶 Flip your attention
- Immerse yourself in the customer’s world

🔶 Follow a consultative approach
- Be the guide, not the hero of the story
- Identify your customers' real issues and show them how your solution fits into their narrative
- Stop pushing a one-size-fits-all answer
🔶 Focus on being effective
- Employ strategies and techniques that resonate with today's buyers
- Ditch the old school playbook in favour of what actually engages and converts in the modern market
- Think like a partner and act as one
