Hate
Here’s a tough pill to swallow - most buyers hate salespeople. So why is that?
Because most sellers think more about themselves and their commission check than their buyer. I call this “the transactional mindset” and it’s why there exists the stereotype of the sleazy salesperson. This is seen in:
Long emails that use the words I and “company name” more than you and your to talk about your customers
Cold calls where the salesperson talks twice as much as the other person
Generally when the buyer feels like the salesperson doesn’t listen to them, understand what they’re saying and is constantly trying to push them into a corner they don’t want to be in
So what’s the alternative? It’s the curiosity mindset.
I recorded a video breaking down exactly how to build this into your sales process:
