What’s your favorite movie? Chances are when you read that question your mind became both focused and very busy as you searched your data banks for a suitable answer. You were instantly focused, trying to reconcile both factual (which movies have I seen?) and emotional information (how did I feel about them?), if only for a moment. As a heuristic (or mental shortcut), your mind may have even contemplated whether you’ve been asked that question before, and if so, what you said last time!

I spent the first six months of 2017 living in the hospital while my 5-year-old son, Ari, waited for, received, and rejected a heart transplant. During that time I’d spend my nights an hour away from him with our 3-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son. Each morning I’d fight Boston traffic to spend my days with Ari on the 8th floor at Boston Children’s Hospital.

We have all used to-do once in our work life. Some of us (me) are purely in love with the concept and use every single day to finish tasks one by one. There is definitely a sense of accomplishment when you cross off a task. But, did you ever think beyond to-do? I mean, to-dos give us a broader picture of our day. But they are not making any addition to our work style.

I was involved in a discussion with a team on a very large opportunity. It seemed an inordinate part of the discussion focused on the competition. People went back and forth on their strengths relative to the competitors, the relationships the competitors had with the customer, strategies to deal with the competition. And yes, we even got to the discussion, “How much discount to overcome where they thought the competitor would price their solution?

Sales can be intimidating to newcomers. You’ll struggle to find good leads and close meaningful conversations. You’ll get stuck in ruts, and you’ll compare yourself to top performers in your organization who are somehow faring far better than you are. Even experienced salespeople can struggle in a new environment. And unfortunately, there’s no surefire formula to succeed in sales.

“The future is virtual,” seems to be the conclusion many are reaching as a result of the pandemic. I don’t disagree–at least virtual meetings leveraging tools like Zoom, Teams, or the dozens of other tools, will be a large part of how we engage customers. (I actually prefer thinking the future is digital, which addresses the engagement process more broadly than video meetings.).

Selling financial services can sometimes feel a bit harder than selling other product types. Generally, when selling financial services, you’re selling the invisible; an intangible outcome products and results that’ll benefit them financially. Compared to that of a physical product – people can see, hear or feel what they’re buying. That’s why when selling financial services, you need to have a slightly different format and process to close more consistently.

Sales is hard. And not only is it hard, but you shouldn’t be closing every deal you are in. Why? Well, if you’re closing even deal you are, you’re not been invited to the deals where your product has competition. Where it has gaps. You aren’t being invited to where you’ll want to be to grow, if you magically close every deal you are in.
