Jill Konrath Tells The Sales Whisperer® that Marketers Must "Take off the Stupid Sales Hat!"
Temecula, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2013 -- As part of his regular podcast series with industry leaders in CRM, social media, sales and marketing, marketing automation, and more, Wes Schaeffer, The Sales Whisperer®, interviews Jill Konrath. She is the author of "Snap Selling" and "Selling to Big Companies."
Konrath points out to Schaeffer that today’s buyers are savvy about their many options and go online to find the answers they need well before they get to a sales person. Many sellers are still stuck in the mode of thinking they must sell and convince and that they know best. However, the prospect is often just looking to have a conversation with an intelligent person that can help them. She urges sales people to, “Take off the stupid sales hat!”
Konrath shares with Schaeffer a number of techniques she uses to research potential clients before she ever meets with them. In turn, she adds that those same people will probably Google you and asks, "What will they see? Product knowledge without sales skills is worthless."
