The Pitch Whisperer's Key Sales Principles
FORGET SELLING
The old way to sell is to push your message out. Today you must be a master storyteller with a magnetic message that pulls people in.
BE A CO-PILOT WITH YOUR BUYER
You’re not flying solo anymore. Have collaborative conversations with your buyer and agree where and when you will both “land the plane.”
PUT ON YOUR EMPATHY HAT
Buyers work with salespeople who are concerned about them. When the buyer feels you “get” them, they will want to get YOU as part of their solution.
