Say This, Not That: Why Precise Language in Sales Closes More Deals
The Advanced Selling Podcast
Imprecise language is quietly sabotaging your sales process — and most sellers don't even notice it happening. This week, Bill and Bryan dig into the art of precise communication and why "what they hear" matters more than "what you meant."
Bryan shares a real example from his own sales process: his team retired the vague word "calendars" as the last item on a sales agenda in favor of the more direct "get calendars out." They also cover why stating up front how many points you're about to make makes you easier to follow and easier to buy from, and why tired open-ended questions like "what keeps you up at night?" should be replaced with sharper, stack-ranked questions that force a real answer.
Plus: details on ASP's 20th anniversary celebration and how to get your ticket to the live September event.
