When trying to get a client to switch to your product (or service), you have to understand the resistance to change...in order to get them to change.
Here's a simple META framework that highlights the Top 5 things you need to address to acquire a client from your competitor:
M.oney (cost of switching)
E.ffort (required to switch)
T.ime (investment and delays due to switching)
A.doption and/or A.cceptance (will people/employees/team members use it)
And lastly, but MOST important is ER = Emotional Risk. Your internal champion or influencer is worried about what will happen to them/their career if the switchover fails.
In your presentations or demos, you need to address and assuage all 5 of these concerns in order to get them to switch.

I Almost Got FIRED- Years ago I was nominated to be Vice President of all of Latin America for a Telecom company. I moved my family to Argentina where I would run the territory.

That was the day I almost got fired…this is my story.

On this week in sales Will Barron and I be looking at:
Shadowing a Sales Killer - A company has a 'sales killer', a true master of the art of selling who is OUTSELLING the sum of 10 salespeople. The company calls me to ask if I would shadow this guy named Larry in order to document (think playbook) what he's doing so they can train their existing salespeople and onboard new ones with the process.
To which I asked, "Why don't you just ask him to tell you?" They did and his reply was not satisfactory (see the video).
So, they hired me to do the job of 'shadowing' Larry (aka Sales Killer) so that I could document his sales process.
This is my story...
