Learning When It’s The Best Time To Strike

The show starts with Will asking Tibor for a personal story of when the process of SHIFT selling has helped him close a sale and then they dive into the principles of SHIFT selling.

“Whatever you’re selling, intangible, tangible, you need to add value by being a subject matter expert. And I think most people are, they just don’t really accept it or live up to it.”

The show is wrapped up with Tibor explaining the importance of being an known expert in your industry. When you’re a known expert you are activily updated by colleagues and customers on potential sales triggers and so you have a competitive advantage over your competition.

“Done right, sales is like a legal drug”

Tibor and Will also cover –

  • What are sales triggers and events
  • Tools you can use to uncover sales triggers
  • The importance of being a subject matter expert
  • How sales AI might be leveraged in the future
  • Why you should ask your customers what you’re doing right
