Never Be Closing



Basically: think like a consultant trying to help your clients solve problems instead of a sales person just trying to get someone to say YES. The best sales happen when you’re not actively trying to close a deal. You’re trying to prioritize the clients actual needs and create a valuable outcome for them. My only observation is: duh?

It’s kind of nice to read something that’s just so affirming - yes, that’s absolutely how we already work at BNB. Disappointing, though, when I’m in the market for ‘use this one weird trick to make more sales’. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
