If You’re Still Selling Like It’s 2015, You’re Losing Deals.
Not long ago, sales reps could rely on cold calls, generic email blasts, and aggressive pitches to close deals. But times have changed—buyers are more informed, have more options, and don’t respond to outdated tactics anymore.
If you’ve noticed that prospects are ignoring your emails, or calls, or cutting meetings short, it’s not because they don’t need what you’re selling. It’s because the way you’re selling doesn’t work anymore.
Let’s break down the problem—and more importantly, how to fix it.
What’s Broken? The 3 Biggest Sales Mistakes (And How To Do Better)
Problem #1: Mass Emails That Feel Impersonal
Solution: Personalize emails with specific research to stand out, instead of sending generic mass emails. This shows you value their time and business.
Problem #2. Selling Before Understanding
Solution: Understand needs through questions before pitching solutions, focusing on value, not just features. This builds trust and shows genuine interest.
Problem #3: Follow-Ups That Add No Value
Solution: Make follow-ups valuable with insights, case studies, or perspectives to keep conversations engaging. Avoid generic check-ins. Instead:
1. Be Personal.
2. Be Helpful.
3. Be Valuable.
The Sales People Who Win Are the Ones Who Adapt.
