“Sales is all about people!” It’s been one of those throw away terms all of us have heard about selling since the very first day we started selling. In the old days, a lot of this was interpreted as “relationship sales,” and implemented as social interactions like taking them to lunch, the golf course, telling jokes, making sure you sent their kids birthday cards.

A sale will never happen until the status quo is challenged in some way. Perhaps, the customer has experienced problems or challenges. Perhaps they are discovering new opportunities they want to pursue. They decide to change, initiating, among other things, a buying journey. Too often, the customer doesn’t recognize the need to change. They are too busy to notice things could be better.

However, most of them do not pay attention to it and manage it effectively. Sadly without a healthy pipeline achieving sales goals becomes a more challenging task. It is easy to panic about dropping numbers, but very few sales professionals put in efforts to understand and manage the sales pipeline effectively.

Then things went south, really quickly. He asked me what I like about the competition. At first, I thought it a clever approach. He might then start to talk about his solution in the context of the things I highlighted.
