About David Priemer: David is the Founder & Chief Sales Scientist of Cerebral Selling and the author of Sell the Way You Buy. After leaving his research science background, he deconstructed the traditional sales approach and developed his methodology based on consumer science, research, and psychology. He is a widely-recognized thought leader in sales and sales leadership and has been published in the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and many more.
In this episode, Nancy and David discuss:
- The Cobra Kai Paradox: Executing wrong sales tactics taught by senseis
- Buying is emotional, so align your selling to this decision pathway
- Why goal setting is a waste of time
Key Takeaways:
- Ongoing training is necessary to sharpen the skills of top performers, but be aware that not all salespeople are keen on improving.
- Goal setting can encumber us. Many times, we work towards the goal and then stop. Try to challenge yourself by doing as many of your tasks as possible and you might surprise yourself that you’ve exceeded your initial goals.
- Be curious about the emotional drivers behind why people buy. When you connect with customers and sell to them, they are buying with those exact same emotional pathways.
“Really be curious about the pathways and mechanisms by which human beings make decisions so you can sell along those pathways because we don’t do that enough.” – David Priemer

About Bill McCormick: Bill is the Trust Enablement Trainer at Selling from the Heart. He enables sales teams to build trust and expand relationships and revenue. His passion for helping sales leaders allows them to tap into their authentic selves and build relationships based on the value that they offer to their prospects. He reminds others that all selling is social and to meet your prospects where they are.
In this episode, Nancy and Bill discuss:
- Inauthenticity and lack of substance as the biggest obstacles to selling
- The platinum rule
- Bill learns communication as a 911 dispatcher
Key Takeaways:
- Say what you mean and mean what you say. Inauthenticity is easy to spot.
- Be open about the relationship that you want to develop with someone.
- All selling is social selling. Sellers must not limit themselves to just one bucket of selling and branch out (cold calls, email, TikTok, etc).
“We start out with the golden rule and we treat other people the way that we want to be treated. Until we have some communication, we find out how they want to be treated. That’s the platinum rule: treating others the way that they want to be treated. .” – Bill McCormick

In this episode, Nancy and Mark discuss:
- The difference between closing sales and opening relationships
- In a period of inflation, sellers should not be discounting price but concentrating on adding value
