Key Points
- Overcoming the Pavlovian conditioning when the phone rings is critical in sales, and utilizing pattern interrupts, such as straightforward honesty or mentioning something you've learned about the company, can create a more engaging and effective conversation.
- The 2/10 rule, which suggests interacting with the customer every two minutes and summarizing every ten, helps create a natural cadence in conversation, allowing for active listening and ensuring both parties are aligned and engaged.
- Sales scripts can be helpful for new representatives but should be set aside once they find their voice, as being adaptive and able to adjust the conversation dynamically is a key skill for successful salespeople.
