Manage episode 438493688 series 2908101
Standing out from the competition can feel like an uphill battle. Whether you're struggling to craft the perfect sales pitch or wondering how to position yourself as a trusted advisor rather than just another vendor, listen up!
Join Peter Wilson, President of bizmktg.com, and Chris Goldman, Marketing Strategist and Business Coach, as they reveal the secrets to creating sales pitches that not only resonate but win.
Peter and Chris dive into April Dunford’s must-read book *Sales Pitch: How to Craft a Story to Stand Out and Win*. They explore the shift from traditional sales tactics to a more customer-centric approach, where building trust and helping clients navigate decisions is key.
Chris shares a story about how he once considered building his own fence to save money, only to realize that the expertise and service offered by professionals far outweighed the cost savings of doing it himself. It’s a perfect metaphor for businesses who think they can DIY their marketing—only to find that working with experts brings better results with less hassle.
Through the lens of storytelling frameworks like the hero’s journey and problem-solution pitching, Peter and Chris highlight the importance of understanding the high stakes for decision-makers. They explain why so many sales pitches end in no decision and offer strategies to overcome buyer hesitation by positioning your product or service as the solution to a real problem—one that helps, not just sells.
