Being Liked Doesn’t
Win Deals:
We’ll Tell You What Does
(Trust us on this)
This webinar took place on Friday June 17 at 12:30 pm EDT – But Don’t Worry! We Recorded it:
How important are relationships in B2B buying and selling, especially in this current environment of rising prices and delivery delays? Is it more important to be liked, or to be trusted? We want to hear from you!
Being Liked Doesn’t Win Deals: We’ll tell you what does.
Sure – every salesperson wants to be liked. But now more than ever we’re seeing that being liked matters a lot less than other attributes as B2B buyers assess the best option for their purchases. The days of lunches, swag, and “dropping by” have become hindrances to winning rather than a successful sales strategy.
So what does win? And how can you get your sales team to adjust and grow in this difficult market environment? We’re at halftime for 2022, now is the time to make adjustments to dominate the second half. It’s time to recognize your team’s bad and outdated habits and coach them for real change that drives better results.
We explored what buyers really want in this world of delivery delays and price increases, and offered some ideas on how salespeople should adjust their buyer interactions to deliver better outcomes today and for the rest of 2022.
Are you losing deals to the “other guys” even though you have a close relationship with the customer?
