Episode Highlights

01:16 - One of the behaviors that you might notice throughout the time that you're working with your reps is their reluctance to move people forward through the sales cycle from asking for the referral.

05:04 - The big difference between pushy and purposeful is belief. As an FR, if you truly believe in what you're doing and the value it provides, you're rarely going to feel pushy. The urgency is going to come a little more naturally because you believe in what you're doing and you believe in the value it brings.

10:24 - The four reasons why people don't buy: no need, no money, no hurry, no trust. Right? That hurry is that sense of urgency. You have to show them in the sales cycle that there is a need for it and that you need to act on it now. This issue or this challenge has been around a really long time because Al Granum addressed it so long ago. But the other of the four, I think is also no trust, as people aren't really going to have a sense of urgency if they don't trust you. So really focusing on that relationship and showing up yourself with urgency, intention, confidence, and professionalism.
