As a sales coach, I really love it when we get a sales expert on to speak about their process and perspective on business. Our guest today, Timo Rein of Pipedrive CRM, brought us so many great insights on this episode. Among the topics we discussed are:
- Why getting to no faster will help you move on to clients who are a better fit for your product/services.
- How to gracefully get to no faster, so you can move on to yes with another prospect.
- How Timo learned how to close a deal in 20 min. or walk away as a door-to-door salesman.
- How deal velocity -- moving deals faster through the pipeline -- can radically improve sales performance.
- Key tips and tools for increasing sales velocity for all types of businesses and industries.
In addition, we dig into the benefits of using a customer relationship management tool (CRM) to keep your sales process organized and efficient.
