STC048 Why clarity is the secret element that's stopping you making B2B sales
Are you spinning your wheels when it comes to selling your services to corporate companies? Perhaps you’re waiting to get all your eggs in a basket… and you’re constantly thinking about what you should sell, which products/ services to offer, how you’re going to approach companies… and not actually moving forward and landing corporate deals? Or maybe you’ve been selling your services for a while… and you’ve been trying to scale but it’s not happening in the timeframe you want? Spoiler: If you’re experiencing those things, then clarity - or lack of it - is definitely one of the reasons that you’re in a muddle. So grab a cup of coffee and take a listen because in this episode, I’m sharing how gaining clarity is nothing to do with theory and the ways that you’ll be able to use it to make more sales, more quickly… In this episode, I’m discussing; Why sales ‘experts’ have been getting it wrong when they tell you that sales strategy has to come first.
