The Dumbest Sales Advice I've Seen This Week (For MSPs)
Manage episode 501818460 series 3613230
I see ads all the time claiming that "building rapport" is a lie and you need to learn how to sell without it - but these so-called experts are completely missing the point.
In this video, I break down the massive misunderstanding around what rapport actually is in sales. It's not about small talk, weather conversations, or chatting about family photos on someone's desk - that's just likability, not rapport. Real rapport is about establishing trust, credibility, and demonstrating that you have the expertise to solve their problems.
I'll show you how to build genuine rapport by showing up prepared, asking targeted questions that prove you understand their business and industry, and positioning yourself as a credible expert who can actually deliver results.
If you're in MSP sales and tired of the surface-level rapport advice, this video will set the record straight on what rapport really means and how to build it the right way.
