Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. Today\u2019s tip comes from Fred Copestake. Over the last 22 years, Fred has traveled around the world 14 times visited 36 countries, and worked with over 10,000 salespeople. He has taken the things that really make a difference in modern selling and put them in his book \u2018Selling Through Partnering Skills\u2019. Here he is:<\/p>\n

Fred Copestake: This tip is, be consistent. So being consistent comes from the sales challenge that I often see of having a modeled mindset. So modeled mindset comes from when an organization isn’t really sure exactly how they’re supposed to be selling. They talk about being consultative, they talk about being solution-based, talk about being customer-centric. But when push comes to shove at the end of the month, what we find is that the guidance becomes very, very transactional. We’re trying to sell as much stuff as we possibly can’t hit a target.<\/p>\n

So this makes it difficult for the salesperson to decide what to do, and it makes it difficult for managers to support the sales personally doing the right thing. They don’t know if they should be on one thing or the other becomes quite confusing. So the best way to overcome this is to make sure we have alignment and it really does start on the top. Management should be clear on what we’re trying to achieve, how we’re going to achieve that, which is pass to managers so they can enforce that or reinforce that. So they can become far better in the way that they coach.<\/p>\n

And then what the individual can do is that they can go about their work clear and confirmed in the way that they know is how they should be operating. Works for customer, works for them, works the organization. Clarity, coaching, confirmation, that’s how we can make sure that we’re not being inconsistent and develop a far more effective approach to selling.<\/p>\n
