David’s Insights on Sales

Getting Into Sales

  • He always had an entrepreneurial mindset, finding ways to be creative and make something out of nothing.
  • His real journey started at 18 when he began learning about prospecting sales, handling objections—the whole sales process—on a more corporate level.

Defining Sales

  • According to David, sales is one of the most important assets in this world.
  • Sales is the currency of this world.
  • It is what makes money move around, and every company needs to make sales to survive.

What Makes a Good Salesperson?

  • Always be prepared. Don’t just show up and wing it.
  • Prospecting is a vital part of the sales process.
  • You should enjoy selling—you have to love what you are doing.
  • Be committed, and don’t give up even if you’re just starting and still struggling.
  • To be successful, you have to know that sales is a process.

The Importance of Rejection In Sales

  • Sales don’t begin until you get your first no.
  • The more doors that you hit, the more sales that you will get.
  • The calls \you make will account for your sales.
  • If you are only doing business with people that don’t say no, you become an order taker, not a salesperson.

How Do You Make Sales?

  • The key to making sales is confidence.
  • Believe there is nothing in the world that can make people tell you they don’t need what you have.
  • Make sure you have something that’s helping clients, which will bring them to a higher level.

Salespeople Make the World Go Round

  • People don’t realize that salespeople provide value through what they sell.
  • They take action to a higher level and change your mindset—something that is not easy to do in this world.

Having a Positive Mindset

  • People are going to throw rocks at you. Whatever happens, always keep a positive attitude.
  • Don’t let other people or problems get to you.

How Do You Avoid Becoming Adversarial?

  • It boils down to understanding your position.
  • Don’t just get into comment rotation of agreeing and disagreeing. You have to be on the same side of the boat.
  • Always keep it as a conversation, not a confrontation.
  • Find a way to influence them and get them to hear you. Then build them up to where you both have the same understanding.
  • It’s not because the clients are always right; it’s because you have to maintain rapport.

Moving Down the Line With Questions

  • Asking the right questions keeps you in control.
  • Don’t make it sound robotic because they would feel that it’s not natural, and you’re not caring about them.
  • Build a rapport targeting the situation and problem at hand.
  • You use questions not only to qualify them but also to understand their full dynamic and their situation.

Following Up and Closing a Deal

  • In sales talking, you give clients a quick solution to their problem without getting involved in it.
  • If the prospect seems dead, follow up and drag them back into different offers, or make sure you nurture them to lead further down the road.
  • Keep notes on why a client didn’t pick up so you can be in touch and call them back
  • Don’t cherry-pick.
  • Having a script is a good way of introduction to your story presentation.
