48: The Single-Step Sale — Landing Big Deals Without Rushing the Close
Manage episode 445451756 series 3518141
losing deals doesn’t happen overnight — it’s all about the next yes. Let’s dive into the art of the single-step sale!
In this episode, we break down a powerful and often overlooked sales philosophy that could change the way you close deals. If you’ve been told that you need to close deals on the first call, we’re here to tell you that’s absolute nonsense.
Real, expert-led sales — especially in speaking, coaching, or consulting — often involve multiple decision-makers and long processes. Enter the single-step sale, where each interaction is about advancing to the next small yes or no.
If you’ve ever been ghosted after sending out proposals or felt like your sales pipeline is more of a graveyard, this episode is for you. Learn how to turn interest into action, take control of every conversation, and break down even the most complex sales process into simple, manageable steps.
Remember, sales isn’t about sprinting to the finish — it’s about taking controlled, deliberate steps forward. With the single-step sale, you can keep your prospects engaged, stay in the driver’s seat, and land those big deals without burning out.
Get ready to sell smarter, not harder!
