The Selling Podcast
Do you want to grow your business? Looking for more sales? Trying to add new leads to your pipeline?
Mike and Scott are two experienced sales professionals with over 50 years of selling experience (and many airline and hotel points!) sharing a common goal: Sell better, Live better, and most of all...Enjoy more!
They share deep-ish thoughts (and some mediocre advice) on sales and life as they exchange stories, philosophies, experiences, insights, and random thoughts with some special guests who provide even more (and deeper) insights along the way!
Join the conversation! Email Mike (mike@thesellingpodcast.com) or Scott (scott@thesellingpodcast.com) and let them know what's on your mind!

STOP BEING NERVOUS SELLING! - BARBARA KAY
Barbara Kay is not only extensively trained in clinical psychology, but she is a great coach as well! Her website has several great tools and tips. Check out her website: BarbaraKayCoaching.com and see what she is doing.
When you walk into a situation where you are going to sell and you are anxious, people will sense that and it will cause discomfort for the listener. Your emotional energy comes across and if you are calm will signal to the other person that you are a friend.
There are two tips to try:
1. How do you want people to feel after your interaction with them?
This usually helps the conversation move toward the focus of the person we are speaking with and not having the conversation based around us.
2. Deep breathing will help you gain energy and come across as calm and relaxed. This is the fastest way to reset yourself.
Fluency - People are attracted to things because they look, seem, or feel good. Not that it is actually good but because it feels good. Lecturing overwhelms the buyer with too much information and will be rejected by the buyer because it can't be absorbed easily. Don't let your buyers turn you away just on principle due to information overload.
Use questions that start with:
- What
- How
- When
But mostly leave out 'Why' questions
