Episode 18 – Speaking the Language of Money in SalesSalespeople are often afraid to talk about money. Successful salespeople know how to not only talk about money, they know how their customers' C-Suite talks about money...and if we learn how to ''speak their language'', we win big deals. If you don't master this, you will be sent to a lower-level person, or worse, relegated to Procurement. This episode focuses on the language of money when selling big sales and how to leverage it for greater success.New book available now by Tom Searcy and Carajane Searcy Moore, The Secret to Big Sales: Using Executive Language to Close More Deals.

Episode 11 – Pilot Selling: Avoiding the “Nibble” StrategyOften sales professionals sell a pilot or test program to a prospect to get “their foot in the door” while buyers mandate a pilot to ''test out the vendor or the proof-of-concept" while minimizing risk.  What sellers may not realize is the pilot may be riskier than waiting or trying harder to get a full deployment or deal. The panel discusses how to avoid pilots or, if necessary, sell better pilot programs that covers their objectives. Pilots can either be the razor’s edge of death to a deal or a great entry door – depends on how you do it.To learn more about our panelists or to contact them, visit:Monique de MaioFounder & CMO, ondemandCMOhttps://www.ondemandcmo.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquedemaio/Mark KennedyPresident, Terakeethttps://terakeet.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkennedydrive/Tiffany OlsonPresident, CEO & Board Memberhttps://www.tiffanyolson.net/https://www.linkedin.com/in/olsontiffany/Tom SearcyFounder & CEO, Hunt Big Saleshttps://www.huntbigsales.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomsearcy/
