Are Your Sales Skills Atrophying?

What happens to your sales skills when you haven't had to use them?

Muscles you don't use get weaker, and sales skills work the same way. In Episode 900, Bill and Bryan start a two-part look at skill atrophy. One team lost the lead channel it depended on and suddenly has to create sales from scratch. Another company's reps have spent five years telling customers to get in line. Neither group is ready for what comes next.

Bill and Bryan also explain why "just talk like a normal person" might be the most underrated sales advice out there.

You'll learn:

• Why easy markets quietly weaken your team's selling skills
• How logic can beat your emotional reluctance to get visible
• Why a plain, honest phone call often beats a clever email
• Why systems, not tricks, rebuild atrophied skills
• Why you should "face the brutal facts" even when business is good

Next week, Part 2 covers how to bring those skills back.
