Sales is a Process, Not a Personality Trait

The Product Launch Podcast

Summary
In this episode, Sean discusses the misconception that sales is only for a specific type of person and highlights that sales is actually a process that anyone can learn. He explores two different approaches to sales - low touch and high touch - and emphasizes the importance of finding the right match between a problem and a solution. Sean also shares insights on how to design an effective sales process for a SaaS business.

Key Points

• Sales is about matching a problem with an appropriate solution.
• Low touch sales leverage a product-led approach, using software to qualify prospects.
• High touch sales involve synchronous interactions with different buyer personas.
• Hybrid approaches that combine both low touch and high touch sales exist.
• The goal of sales is to ensure customers receive value and continue to pay.
• Sales can be turned into a process for any type of business, including software.
• Asynchronous low touch sales can happen without direct intervention.

Quotes

• "Sales is really about following a process, and I want to talk more about what that process is because in my opinion, anyone can do it effectively."
