#518 - 5 Terrifying Sales Ghosts That Will Haunt Your Quota | Halloween Special
This Halloween, the 30 Minutes to President’s Club crew takes you inside the haunted house of sales — where deals disappear, demos die, and negotiations bleed revenue. Nick, Armand, and Steve break down five sales ghosts that secretly destroy your pipeline and show you exactly how to exorcise them using elite B2B sales tactics, closing frameworks, and storytelling mastery. If you’re serious about hitting quota, closing complex deals, and running world-class discovery and demos, this spooky special is your sales survival guide. The 5 Sales Ghosts (and How to Defeat Them): The Surface-Level Spirit: Your deal vanishes because you’re only finding small annoyances, not six-figure business problems that matter to executives. The Hypnosis Demo: Feature-dumping kills attention — learn how to demo through stories that emotionally hook buyers and make them see their future state. The Single-Threaded Specter: Depending on one champion is a death sentence. Multithread your deals and get power involved early. The Negotiation of a Thousand Cuts: Every tiny discount, seat, or billing term slices your margin. Follow Armand’s 6-step framework to negotiate once and win big. The Vendor Review Pit of Despair: IT and Legal can bury your deal alive. Run parallel reviews, set “redline deadlines,” and use mutual action plans to hit close dates.

Four Actionable Takeaways:  B2C Mall Sales Hustle: Show them what their world looks like with your product RIGHT NOW. When they prompt a creative deal term, say yes first, but then ask: “Does that mean you’ll buy now?” If not, keep digging. Good creative deals lose in the short term but win in the long term. You might take the buyout hit today, but that’s ok if you keep the customer for 3 years. When a customer asks for new product guarantees in a contract, ask: “Is what you want to be built really preventing you from achieving the result that you want?”

#501 - We Already Have A Vendor for that Objection
Learn how to expose weaknesses in your competitor’s solution, position your product as the smarter choice, and win more meetings on cold calls. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Expose the competitor’s gap: Highlight the pain points your prospect might not have noticed in their current solution to create urgency. Leverage social proof: Use customer stories where others switched from a competitor to validate your claims without sounding pushy. Reframe the ask: Instead of forcing a hard sell, invite prospects to simply “take a look” at what’s out there—low pressure, high impact. Balance empathy with confidence: Acknowledge that they might not switch today, but confidently plant the seed that your solution solves a problem their current vendor doesn’t.
