  • A Quick Lesson in Expert Positioning

He is the founder of Traffic Geyser, the first internet video system to generate web traffic, and he's also the author of several books on positioning and video marketing. All of his work can be found at http://mikekoenigs.com/.  In this episode, Mike addresses many of the roadblocks that hold us back from higher performance, one of which is 'nervousness.'

  • Wise Words From a Buyer [Guest Interview]

    29/10/2012 Duration: 19min

    Ever wonder how buyers think? What goes through their mind when they decide what vendor to use? Well, you're in luck today.  We have a very special guest on the podcast this week-Paul Rogers, a procurement expert from Australia.  Paul has been in purchasing for over 30 years and works with procurement people to help them work better with vendor sales teams. He also works with sales teams as well helping them to position their value in a more compelling way.  We thought he'd be a great resource for our podcast listeners. So, in this episode, Bill and Bryan pose some very basic questions to him about how buyers see the world. If you call on professional procurement people, this is a great episode to hear. This is the first in an ongoing series with Paul.

  • How To Learn From a Lost Deal

    22/10/2012 Duration: 16min

    One of our most popular training modules is when we "dissect the deal." It's usually is done on a deal that is still live, meaning the client has not made a decision, "Yes" or "No." But this episode is different, more of a post-mortem on a deal that one of our clients, Stephanie, lost. She was kind enough to volunteer to be in the spotlight at the recent Jazz Kitchen Event. In this episode, Stephanie tells Bryan and Brooke about the situation and then fields questions from them and the audience. If you don't have another person in your life that can help you sort through the sales deals you're in, then you'll learn how to do it (to yourself) here.

  • It's Not Only Your Skill That Matters. It's How You...

    08/10/2012 Duration: 14min

    In this episode, Bill and Brooke, address a common issue: How do you improve your selling skills if you weren't cut out to be in sales? The fact is that many technical people have ended up in the role of selling (in fact, many sales people end up there, too). So, how do you model your behavior? Must you really change who you are to be successful in the sales/business development role? Actually, no. But you need to have a plan of some kind. And we'll share some parts of that plan here.   Also, we are making available three training videos that go deeper into this subject. You can go to http://www.accidentalseller.com to get the three videos.

  • How To Sell When You're A Start Up

    01/10/2012 Duration: 12min

    Today's podcast addresses a question from a listener who wanted to know how to begin the sales process when they had very little in terms of case studies, or customer experience. In his case, it was a start-up company in the IT space. Bill and Bryan dished out some tips to use in beginning to position him in the market. The fact is that, in some ways, this is an excellent position to be in. The ability to create a position from scratch can be quite powerful. However, if you already have a customer base and are a seasoned pro, there are still some ideas in this podcast that will help you re-think your position. The fact is that even if we've been around for a while, there is always something new we're wanting to do - new products - innovative services - new ways to think about old problems. Consequently, "thinking like a beginner" is something we should do frequently. **If you'd like your question to be featured in the next mailbag episode, then email your question to Bill and Bryan at Listener@AdvancedSelling

    In this episode, Brooke Green joins Bill and Bryan to address the issue of how to sell if you’re an ‘accidental salesperson.’ Brooke works with quite a few companies and people, who don’t consider themselves salespeople, yet who are still responsible for new business development. This includes accountants, engineers, subject matter experts, consultants, technical advisors, project managers, entrepreneurs or others who would be classified as ‘accidentals.’ Heck, even some sales people might put themselves in that position.

  • One Thing You Should Always Share with Prospects

    28/08/2012 Duration: 13min

    In this week's episode, Bill and Bryan address something you should always share with your prospects (and clients, too). It has to do with your "why" in business. Recently, Bill wrote a blog called 3 Reasons You Should Share Your Why With Customers citing Simon Sinek's famous talk at TED on The Golden Circles. We think it applies directly to sales people - and this podcast explains how to share this with your clients and prospects.
