For sales representatives, there’s nothing more attractive than closing calls. These are calls where the deal gets moved across the line, contracts get signed and reps earn their commissions. Unfortunately, closing calls depend on who you’re selling to and could take you tens of hours. This is where discovery calls come to the rescue. Round one of almost all sales pits you against a prospect in the ring by way of discovery call.

If you follow this blog, you know our tag line is “execution, everything else is just talk!”; And the one thing in abundance in B2B sales, is talk, often just for the sake of talk, not communication. One thing people talk about are the attributes of successful salespeople, let’s make that a low bar, making quota. For many, including myself, a key attribute is curiosity; but it is one thing to talk about it, different to execute.

Probably one of the weakest areas of buying and selling I see is “qualifying.” As sales people, there are dozens of acronyms, if any are applied, you have a “qualified deal.” BANT is the grandfather of all of these, but others have come up with their own alphabet soup pushing their approaches. These can be helpful if applied, but too often, sales people don’t apply them in a disciplined fashion.

In sales the go to is often sports, and one can understand why. The stats, competitiveness, playbooks, execution, individual contribution to the team effort, and more. No issue with that, but I prefer to use investment and the financial markets, primarily because of the focus on value.
