Episode 30 – Transcript (ish)

On this episode I am going to answer some of the frequently asked questions I get about sales scripts.

Welcome to episode 30 of The Sales Experience Podcast. This is the last installment of Script Week. In thinking about a good way to wrap up this week I was recalling the types of questions I have received over the years, from companies as well as from reps. So I wanted to do something a little different and go through some questions and answer them in the best way I can, while keeping in mind my answers will be as high level and general as I can go. For more specific answers relative to selling your product or service, go to my website – cutterconsultinggroup.com and let’s set up a time to talk.

Questions I cover:

‘How can I make it not sound like I am reading a script?’

‘What do I do when the person asks me a question and I have to go off-script?’

‘I am trying to go through my script and process and the prospect keeps asking me questions and throwing me off. How do I stay on track?’

‘What if I don’t think the script is very good?’

‘What should I do if I do not have a script?’
