Episode notes
Attention Scarcity Makes Sales Tougher
- Sales is harder today because buyers are more distracted and tired despite more tools.
- More channels, misinformation, and short attention spans raise the bar for sellers' relevance and skill.
Follow Activity Rules While You Evaluate Fit
- Do follow your manager's activity expectations while you evaluate fit and training at the company.
- Keep your job while searching for better leadership since it's easier to find a job when you're employed.
Replace Basic Questions With Market Anchors
- Do research before asking obvious discovery questions and avoid wasting prospects' time.
- Instead of asking 'what's your budget?', present peer budgets and outcomes to anchor the conversation at the right scale.
