Examples of Clown World in Sales
Welcome to the Circus! 🎪
It’s become impossible to avoid the Circus.
So why fight it anymore?
Come on in to the Circus and enjoy the show!
Let us begin the show!
The real question is why was my answer not listed as a response on his survey!
And sales leadership wonders why prospects hate and don’t respect salespeople!
Next up we see..
our fellow brothers?!
in the circus?!
Ahh this is why they’re here:
They expect a free tweet to be as effective as the main course.
*knock knock*
Oh! a special guest!
A “customer centric consultative value add” seller!
Let’s get a bit closer and hear this magician..
🤡: Our platforms success is predicated on our ability to integrate our functional expertise in cross channel go-to market strategies. Bottomline, we gain market share for our clients and deliver substantial ROI.
Did you fall asleep, anon?
I almost did!
NEXT!
The problem with “always add value” (whatever that means) is it reinforces the belief that you are in the Low Status position where you have to “prove” you are worthy of the prospects business.
You don’t need to prove value in the sense that you are deserving of customers. value is implied by virtue of who you are, successful track record, etc.
The prospects problems are a dime a dozen. Your solution is not.
Proving value means proving there is a fit with a prospects unique situation… and that requires the prospect to open up about their unique situation!
You’re successful at what you do, they need to prove their situation warrants your help.
It’s all in the subtext, anon.
SILENCE!
Look further ahead!
It is the “INFORMATION CONSOOOOOOOMER” quietly consooooooming all the content.
This creature consumes content like nobody else. His secret?
Never implement any of it!
A true “expert” indeed! 🤡
To the left of the INFORMATION CONSOOOOMER we have the LINKEDIN THOT LEAAAAAAAADER
Brace yourself for original and game-changing insight!
“Brother! Bud!”
Who said that?
A “cool” sales manager to his unsuspecting sales rep!
Always remember:
Your manager is your brother regardless of how you perform… You guys are family after all! 🤡
And that’s the end of today’s circus show. Come back next time!
