  How to Sell Something the Market Isn't Ready For

  Aug 31, 202620 min

  Send us Fan Mail Got something genuinely new to sell — and buyers keep lumping it in with every other "revolutionary" pitch they've heard this month? This one's for you. Bill and Bryan work through a real scenario: a friend building software that could transform hospital billing, but can't get CFOs past their skepticism. The fix isn't a better pitch — it's a completely different approach to who you target and how you position the offer. You'll learn how to sort prospects by tolerance for change (not company size), why positioning your offer as limited and selective beats "revolutionizing everything," and why acknowledging buyer skepticism up front builds more trust than any pitch could. It's the 20th anniversary of the show, and Bill and Bryan want to hear from you — send a short voice memo to listener@advancedsellingpodcast.com for their September anniversary celebration.

  It's Not a Skill Problem, It's an Identity Problem

  Aug 24, 202623 min

  Send us Fan Mail Why do good sellers freeze up the second a conversation moves from a director-level buyer to the CFO? It's not a skills gap — it's identity. Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale break down why sellers resist doing new things, even when they know exactly what it's costing them. Bryan shares what happened when he volunteered to try something brand-new outside of sales — nervous, uncomfortable, and more locked-in than he's felt in years. That leads into why "just say this instead" coaching doesn't work, why the block that keeps a rep out of the CFO's office (or a $400K advisor from becoming a $1M advisor) is about identity, and a simple reframe for calling on anyone above your comfort level: find what's the same before you worry about what's different.

  Stop Blaming Price: Positioning Is Your Problem

  Aug 10, 202616 min

  Send us Fan Mail You didn't lose that deal on price. You lost it because your positioning wasn't strong enough to make you the obvious, can't-do-without-you choice. Bill and Bryan dig into a claim that gets argued in every sales meeting: is price really the reason deals slip away, or is it a symptom of weak positioning? They walk through a real audit of lost deals — 22 gone in six months, four of them deals that should have been won — and use it to unpack what separates a vendor from a "we can't do without you" partner. You'll learn the four ingredients of unshakeable positioning: naming the beliefs your customer has to shift before your value can land, getting explicit about what you don't do, choosing whether you're a problem-solver or a destination (or both), and painting the real cost of standing still. Plus, why the best time to build this is when business is good — not when you're desperate.

  Lessons We've Learned From Those We've Lost

  Aug 3, 202618 min

  Send us Fan Mail Every person you've worked with has a story you probably never asked about — and sometimes you don't find out until it's too late. In Part 2 of their series on the people of sales, Bill and Bryan honor a handful of people who shaped their careers — a neighbor and airline pilot, a mentor who connected without ego, a customer who never delayed a decision, and a prospect Bryan gave up on too soon. Each story carries a lesson you can use this week: ask people about their actual lives, don't wait to reconnect with old friends, decide fast, and don't give up on a prospect after just one or two tries. It's the 20th anniversary of the show, and Bill and Bryan want to hear from you — send a short voice memo to listener@advancedsellingpodcast.com for their September anniversary celebration.

  The People Who Taught Us Everything We Know About Sales

  Jul 27, 202617 min

  Send us Fan Mail Twenty years in this business means running into a lot of characters. This week Bill and Bryan riff on the people — bosses, clients, gatekeepers, baristas — who taught them something they never forgot, whether the lesson was about sales or just about being human. You'll hear about "Leisure Suit Larry," the grocery store manager who refused to acknowledge salespeople existed, and what he taught Bill about never forcing yourself on someone who doesn't want to talk. They also talk about the trap of looking down on younger salespeople — and what a 20-year-old Starbucks employee named Joey reminded Bryan about assuming too much, even when the assumption seems like a compliment.
