The Sales Evangelist

Sean Doyle, Closing More Deals The goal for salespeople is to close more deals. In this episode, Sean Doyle talks about the secret to closing. 

Sean M. Doyle is with FitzMartin, a sales first consultancy firm that helps companies with their sales, marketing, and alignment. Their approach towards marketing and sales is based on science that drives revenue for their clients while integrating sales and marketing. 

The idea of a science-based framework 

  • Most of us love superheroes. As the last touch, salespeople can be seen as the hero for their clients.
  • Most salespeople don’t want the marketing team involved because they have a different process.
  • While the marketing team complains about bad leads, science has a different view. 80% of these leads should be considered to be in a cycle of consideration, preparing to change, and then retreating. 
  • Behavioral science is the transtheoretical theorem of behavioral change according to Prochaska & DiClemente. 
  • There’s more to human behavior than just awareness. 
  • When interviewing an ad agency, ask them to articulate what they feel is the most effective marketing approach just before closing a deal.  If they fail to answer the question,  move on. 
  • A good marketer knows how to impact a deal all the way through the process. 

Looking back, Looking forward 

  • The book Changing for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life Positively Forward by James O. Prochaska is recommended reading. It talks about the change of behavior that is applicable to everyone who seeks to change. 
  • From a  marketing and sales point of view, there are specific ways to help when customers want to move forward. 
  • When people are contemplating a purchase, they go to your website. Just because the prospects haven’t bought, it doesn’t mean they forget what they know about your company and their needs. They don’t need any more brand awareness. They need the later stage processes to help them finalize their decision. 
  • Marketers need to help people move from contemplation to preparation, and eventually to action.
