Have you ever procrastinated when it comes to your B2B sales strategy? Perhaps you’re starting out and thinking about all the things that you need to have in place… worrying about websites, busying yourself with branding and panicking about your positioning? Or maybe you’ve been selling to corporate companies for a while … but you’re taking it up a gear and worrying that you need to have lots of other elements in place before you can progress?

 

It’s totally normal to worry. And it’s normal to have a whole bunch of fears when it comes to shifting your business and sales strategies. But - you don’t want to be worrying about problems that aren’t happening… or stressing over things that don’t make a difference right now.

 

That’s why I’ve recorded this episode - to break down exactly what the most common worries are when selling B2B - and whether or not you really need to spend your time stressing about them!

 

In this episode, I’m sharing;

• Why inexperienced salespeople see the same objection time and again - and why it’s not real! (13:58)
