RAIN SellingSM
Keys to Leading Masterful Sales Conversations
It’s 4 PM on a Thursday and you’re about to meet the CEO of a major company you’d like to win as a client. The conversation starts as you walk into the office, approach the CEO, stretch out your hand, and say, “Nice to meet you, Jill. I’m Steve Webb.”
Fast forward to a meeting about 7 months later. You head into the office. Jill gets out from behind her desk and says, “Good to see you again, Steve. Here’s a check for $1.2 million. Let’s get started.”
Suffice it to say, a lot has to happen to get from, “nice to meet you” to “here’s a check, let’s get started.” Yet two things are true. 1) This is how it happens. And, 2) Conversations form the bridge between “hello” and “let’s go.”
