Talk Tracks: Sales Enablement Leaders Share What Works & What Doesn't
Sales Hacker
May 12, 2021
️ How do I make my talk tracks not sound like a script ️

Don’t make the call about who you are, your company, and your product features. Talk tracks resonate when you talk about the prospect, not yourself.

Leslie Venetz, New Business Development Director at Procurement Leaders says starting out on the right foot is critical.

“Too often I see reps starting their sales conversation with a rundown of how long they’ve been with the company, where the company has offices or a list of product features. Why would your prospect care?”

She compares this to pulling out a resume on a first date.

“Without learning anything about your partner, you start with a list of everything about you that you believe a stranger should care about. It would be off-putting.”

Do try to understand your buyers and actively listen.

Empowering Woman in Sales

When I tell you that Eric Smith & I covered off a lot of topics,
I listened before I posted & had a massive smile on my face. This is a fun convo. Why listen?

The convo gets spicy & is complete with 3 F-bombs. Beware.

Why is the SDR incentive structure broken in so many organizations?

Shoutouts to 3 of our favs Scott Leese, Jason Bay (it worked), & Gabrielle “GB” Blackwell (watch for her #LowlySDR ep to drop soon).

Why I think most LinkedIn advice is bullsh*it & what feels different about the TikTok #salescommunity.
