[CLASSICS] 030: Raquel Richardson Enabling a Channel Only Sales Process

Takeaways Remember It's Not About You : Hearing "no" in sales is a given, but that doesn't make it any less trying. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding how exactly you are shot down, there is no more important personality strength than the ability to bounce back. Sales is so much easier when you can remove yourself from the process and remember one simple truth: it's not about you. It's not a personal attack. You are doing your job, and it might be challenging right at this moment, but "no" is not the end of the line for you unless you let it be. Document and Share What Works : Raquel brought up her concept of a "WinWire," but what could you do for the closed won or even the closed lost deals at your company.

Were they replacing anything? Did they pick you over another solution? What was the size of the deal? Capturing these details, win or lose, and sharing them with your team may spark some unforeseen opportunities.

More often than not, I find that when they're quiet, all they're really doing is waiting for their next turn to talk. Doing this forces you to start making assumptions and disregarding the chance to gain real clarity. Both can be detrimental to your sales cycle.
