You're having wonderful discovery calls, but stakeholders are taking forever to get back to you. This tends to make deals move like molasses in winter. What if I tell you that you're going to have to get a bit creative to accelerate deals through the pipeline? Rebecca Kravitz, sales professional and co-founder of Meople, is here to share how games can grab prospects' attention and help increase deal velocity. Check it out and move deals faster with this unique method.Meet Rebecca KravitzThe concept of using board games to capture prospects' attention comes from Rebecca and her co-founder creating a game for her grandfather's 80th birthday. After seeing how amazed he was by it, they decided to build customizable gaming software for the B2B world.She believes that sales is all about active listening and understanding the challenges, needs, and persona of the buyer. Board games allow companies and sellers to listen to their customers and provide solutions to them. Bringing Gaming Into the Sales ProcessRebecca says it’s best to bring gaming into the sales process at the beginning, immediately following a call. You can provide a demo so they can get a feel for the customized board game and how your product benefits them.Another perfect time to use it in the sales process is when the deal is stalling and you need to make it move faster through the pipeline.Also, you don’t have to come up with the game rules; Meople does all of that for you.How Can Meople Help Close More Deals?Building customizable games for your prospects—how on earth is this better than traditional sales methods?Rebecca shares that Meople is like a specialized gift for your prospects.

I believe in doing BIG THINGS! You should be earning 6 figures easily as a sales rep. But chances are you are not...yet! Sales is the most important department in every company but many sellers are never taught how to effectively sell, much less how to earn their way to high-income status. My own career limped along until a company I worked for invested in sales training to help me succeed. Immediately afterward, I closed a deal worth 4X what the company spent on me and saw hockey-stick improvement in my performance. So I started a podcast to “Evangelize” what was working. Today I interview the world's best sales experts, successful sellers, sales leaders and entrepreneurs who share their strategies to succeed in sales right now: folks like Jeffrey Gitomer, Jill Konrath, Bob Burg, and Guy Kawasaki to name a few. They share actionable insights and stories that will encourage, challenge, and motivate you to hustle your way to top income status. If you’re someone looking to take off in your sales career and earn the income you deserve, hit subscribe and let’s start doing BIG THINGS!
