Authentic Conversations: How to Sell Without Being "Salesy"
Manage episode 479933479 series 3566783
Brooke Greening shares her S.E.R.V.I.C.E. framework for authentic sales conversations that help commission-based business owners sell without feeling "salesy." Her approach transforms traditional sales techniques into a relationship-building process focused on truly understanding client needs before offering solutions.
• Setting expectations in the first 2-3 minutes establishes transparency and builds trust
• Establishing rapport should focus on meaningful business connections, not superficial small talk
• The first problem clients mention is rarely the real issue driving their buying decision
• Wait at least 5 minutes of questioning before attempting to solve client problems
• Objections are actually buying signals—indications that prospects want to buy but need help overcoming concerns
• Create urgency by providing clear direction and hope, not through manipulation
• Always establish specific next steps with date and time to prevent ghosting
