In this episode, Nancy and Fred discuss:
- Selling Through Partnering Skills: Salespeople’s 3 main challenges and partnering intelligence (PQ) theory
- Hybrid Selling: Adapt to changes in selling. Sales professionals need to know how to use multifaceted, collaborative, and customer-centric selling strategies to stay relevant into the future.
Key Takeaways:
- Busy Busy Busy is focusing on the wrong activities resulting in wasted opportunities and effort. Become more effective through planning and process.
- Oldie Worldly refers to old methods which simply do not work anymore. Today it’s about being customer-focused. Self-centered strategies are fit for a bygone era of selling.
- Muddled Mindset is misalignment. Develop clarity within the organization, encourage coaching by management, and allow individuals confirmation that the way they work is making consistent with top performance.
- A top trend to adopt right now is video. Shifts in sales today also include a focus on helping more and co-creation. Consultative still works but the future is about collaboration.
“We need to be comfortable with change. I mean, salespeople, we sell change that way. If we’re not comfortable with it, if we don’t understand it, it’s hard for us to really help people change themselves.” – Fred Copestake

About Nigel Green: He is a consultant, author, and advisor who’s widely regarded as the leading authority on building high performing sales teams. With over 15 years of executive experience ranging from Fortune 500 companies to early-stage growth companies, he is sought after by executives to improve selling efforts. He’s worked with dozens of B2B sales teams across the globe including Universal Health Services, Ascension Healthcare, and Reload and they more than doubled their sales production. In 2019, Nigel published his book, “Revenue Harvest: A Sales Leader’s Almanac For Planning The Perfect Year.”
In this episode, Nancy and Nigel discuss:
- Why sales leaders aren’t able to produce
- Finding the best talent
- Investing on what really matters
- Following your principles
Key Takeaways:
- Sales leaders who aren’t able to produce usually do two things: either rinse and repeat a strategy that worked in the past but doesn’t work now or focus on making fast fixes or gimmicks.
- If you want to hire the best talent, you have to get out into the market and find them yourself. Interrupt them from being successful already somewhere else and bring them in.
- Don’t just merely live to work, don’t let it rule your life. Decide what truly matters to you and start investing time on those things. Give yourself as much of a break as is necessary and appropriate. Rest is just as important as work.
- Follow your principles like your livelihood depended on it. This is the case for many successful people right now.
“If we can lean in to the wisdom of our friends in the farmer community who still produce crops despite these uncontrollables, I think we have a better shot at year in and year out consistently getting our sales numbers” – Nigel Green
