About the Book
While a Vice President at Salesforce, David Priemer had an epiphany during one of the company’s high-pressure selling periods: the very sales tactics they were using were not working on him. Yes, the numbers still showed results, but through brute force rather than elegance and efficiency. Priemer also discovered that his teams were spending far more time on leads that did not convert to sales than on those that did. His company―and his entire profession―was acting with more than enough effort and hustle, but without enough awareness and empathy. They were not selling the way they buy.
Sell the Way You Buy is about much more than putting yourself in the customer’s shoes. As buyers, we’re not often aware of the pathways and mechanisms by which we make purchasing decisions. In the same way, our customers aren’t always sure about what they want or need, and may be seeking solutions that don’t address their core problem. They suffer from all sorts of cognitive biases that drive their judgement and purchasing decisions. And meanwhile, the state of overwhelming choice has most products and solution providers adrift in the “Sea of Sameness.”
In today’s world, almost everyone is in sales, but as Priemer realized, we don’t teach it. Sell the Way You Buy will show you how to tell a compelling brand story, ask questions, how to listen, and how to talk to customers (in fact, how to talk to people) in powerful ways that drive emotional engagement. Priemer reveals scientifically supported methods to understand the customer, identify their needs, and move them toward the right solution―all the while teaching you to avoid all the reasons why many of us don’t like talking to salespeople. In short, to sell the way you buy.
