Over Preparation will Bite You in the Back

-

Over preparation can, and will hurt.

I don't prefer over-preparing for client calls.

I tend to keep my research minimal, but meaningful.

I'm choosing the 'less is more' approach here.

Why does over preparation fail?

1. You talk too much about yourself, forgetting to listen.

2. You get stuck in your ways when clients throw curveballs.

3. Acting like a know-it-all can put clients off.

4. You miss out on understanding what really bothers the client.

5. Being closed-minded makes it hard to connect with clients.

Then what goes into my groundwork?

Skip the Obivous Choices

-
One thing I've realised about improving in sales is to avoid the obvious choices.  The best books to enhance your sales skills aren’t traditional sales books.  The people who truly help you hone your sales techniques often aren’t salespeople themselves.  Similarly, the most effective courses for building your sales knowledge aren’t labeled as sales courses. Look beyond the usual resources to truly excel.

Asking the Right Questions

 Let me take you through two experiences. You're sick and you're visiting a doctor.  Doctor 1: You go to the hospital, wait in the queue and meet the doctor. You enter the doctor's room and he greet you. You sit take a seat. The doctor asks you what the problem is. You tell him that you're not feeling well. He checks your pupils, asks you to hang your tongue out. Puts the stethescope on your chest and asks you to take three deep breaths. Turns over to his notepad and scribbles a couple of meds. Tears it from the notepad and hands it off to you. Doctor 2: You go to the hospital, wait in the queue and meet the doctor. You enter the doctor's room and he greet you. You sit take a seat. The doctor asks you what the problem is. You tell him that you're not feeling well. The doctor asks you how long have you been sick, what your symptoms are.  And then looks at your pupils and asks you to hang your tongue out. Puts the stethescope on your chest and while you take breat...

Cognitive Role Transition

-
Here's my secret to winning #CXOs and high-ticket deals. - Cognitive Role Transition. We all act differently in various situations—how we behave at work might be different from how we are at home.  This ability to adjust based on where we are and who we're with is called cognitive role transition. Just like we adapt in our personal lives, we can adjust our approach depending on the buyer's personality. For example, some buyers might prefer a direct, no-nonsense approach, while others might respond better to a friendly, more casual style.  By understanding and adapting to these differences, you can build stronger connections and close bigger deals. This means I would shift from a traditional salesperson role to that of a trusted advisor, expert and problem solver. This shift helped me close high-value contracts and build lasting relationships with CXO's and luxury brands.  Tools like LeadLabs App make it even easier to understand and adapt to each buyer’s unique personal...
