What made Jesus the best sales professional of all time?
(No, this is not an email about religion—I’m just a big history nerd, so I like thinking about these things.)
Jesus obviously wasn’t selling a product, but he was selling a belief, which hundreds of millions of people have accepted. That takes quite a bit of skill.
So how did he do it?
He didn’t do it by asking people if they saw the game on Sunday or how they’re doing today.
He didn’t do it by following some fancy-dancy outdated script.
And he didn’t do it by using the “best” objection handlers.
It comes down to this...
I’m not an expert, but when I read about him, I noticed he asked simple, thoughtful questions that led the listener to question their way of thinking—often, the very thinking that caused their problems in the first place.
He never pushed anything onto anyone.
He asked questions to lead people to the best outcomes for them—and it worked. They came to their own conclusions and solutions, and they trusted and followed Jesus.
After training 563,000 sales professionals in 161 different industries, including yours, we’ve found that asking simple, thoughtful questions works better than anything else for the modern buyer.
People are more skeptical in 2024 than ever before.
That’s why outdated scripts and sales pitches no longer work.
Think about it. Do you automatically trust what you’re told?
Of course you don't.
So do you really think your prospects are any different?
Instead of using old sales scripts and pitches that push the prospect, use questions that build trust and get the prospect to open up.
This free training on my YouTube channel breaks down these kinds of questions and how you can use them on your next sales call.
