Folgenbeschreibung

Sales in Deutschland? Ganz anders als in den USA! Tim Bielski hat fünf Jahre bei Salesforce in den USA gearbeitet und teilt seine spannendsten Erfahrungen. Während in den USA auf schnelle Entscheidungen, starke Beziehungen und einen Hauch von Show setzen, wird vor allem in Deutschland tief analysiert, Risiken abgewogen und jedes Detail geprüft. Aber was funktioniert besser? Was können beide Seiten voneinander lernen? Und warum fühlt sich Sales in Deutschland manchmal so viel formeller an? Eine ehrliche und unterhaltsame Reise durch zwei völlig unterschiedliche Vertriebskulturen.

🇬🇧 Value Engineering: How to close more deals! (046)

Most agree: Leading with value in sales engagements is key to success.

The problem: It’s not something that comes naturally to everyone.

Starting out in sales, often we take a path riddled with obstacles. Initially, we feel insecure about pretty much everything: Talking to clients, following the right process, understanding our portfolio.

A typical trap we can fall into, is falling in love with our own tech and start bragging about it’s capabilities. It starts feeling safe, as we learn more and more about our own solution. But it’s counter productive! Mature sales organizations have realized this. To lead with value, they have implemented programs. It’s purpose: Close more and bigger deals faster.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, tune into our conversation with Ricarda Rieser, seasoned Value Advisor @ SAP. She shares her experiences and knowledge on how Value Engineering will bring more sales success to you, and even more importantly increased value to your stakeholders!

🇬🇧 Sales & PreSales: How to become a ROCKSTAR in both (045)

And what we can learn from each other.

You know people working in Sales? Okay, so do we.
You know people working in PreSales? Okay, so do we.
You know people who switched between both? Well yeah, so do we.

Do you know people doing Sales and PreSales at the same time? Neither did we!

Part of our mission of the Sales Excellence Podcast is to break down barriers, especially between sales and presales. Let’s step away from “us vs them” towards a common “we”. So tune in and join our conversation with Max Lüpertz.

Max is Chief PreSales Enabler & Founder at PreSales Rockstars. He took us on his journey of moving into a hybrid setup, owning both roles. He shares with us, how each role can benefit and learn from each other. In detail we discuss the following:
Why (the heck!?) switch from PreSales to Sales?
Why are PreSales skills also useful for Account Executives?
Why should PreSales worry more about sales processes?
PLUS Max’s most favorite topic: Why is Buyer Enablement key?
Level Up and Let’s Rock. Thanks a lot Max for being our guest and sharing your experiences and insights.

🇬🇧 The Perfect Demo Environment, Interview with Peter Cohan (044)

🎧🎙️ The Perfect Demo Environment, Interview with Peter Cohan

How to suspend disbelief

Peter Cohan is founder and CEO of Great Demo! We had a chat with him about the perfect demo environment. In this episode we review some of Peter's tips on how you can create more compelling demo builts.

The goal: Provide the maximum value to your prospects and ultimately make you more successful.

There are surprisingly simple things that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine, that can have a huge impact on the perception of your audiences.

Care for a sample teaser? Easy: Don’t call it demo!

Why you may ask?

Because your prospects unconsciously translate the word “demo” to mean “fake”.

Keen for more? Tune into this versatile and fun episode with Peter.
