Tune in to what Bill has to share on why you need to stop the unnecessary grinding and start shifting your mindset to flip the buyer/seller process and secure yourself better and more sales! Check out these episode highlights: 02:26 - Bill’s ideal client: Well, my ideal client is a business-to-business organization who sells complex or high-ticket products or solution services to its client base. And they typically have a sales team. 03:01 - The problem he helps solve: Well, most people come to me when they are not generating the sales results or top-line revenue they want. They find it harder to command a premium. 03:49 - The symptoms of the problem: That's a very good way to think about it, the symptoms because that's what we really look at and feel are the day-to-day symptoms. Results aren't where they need to be-- that's an easy one to see. 05:11 - Clients’ common mistakes before consulting Bill: There's a lot! I've got two that I think that I see people try, and it never ever works. One is telling your sales team to grind harder, to work harder, to make more calls to just get out there, email blasts. 06:43 - Bill’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): Yeah, let's talk about the mindset here for 27 seconds. I want the mindset to be the customer who sells you on why they need this problem they have solved. That's the essence of the total flip, and nobody's really teaching that. 08:09 - Bill’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Want to know more about how you can control the buyer/seller process?

I think this idea that the national average or the world average is 10 to 15% of deals quoted to deals closed-- that's way too low.
