Lee’s Lessons: 14 Sales Myths Sabotaging Your Success (and What to Do Instead)

Back to Resources

The sales profession is chock-full of myths that create sales success limitations. You’re likely familiar with many of these, and Lee Salz will debunk them during his latest masterclass.

Lee is a widely acclaimed sales contrarian and bestselling author of Sales Differentiation, Sell Different!, and the hot new sales book The First Meeting Differentiator

Join his masterclass on September 4 at 12 pm ET where he will dismantle common sales misconceptions and equip you with real-world, actionable strategies and techniques. He’ll dive into common sales fallacies and unveil the myths that hurt sales performance.

During this program, he’ll share why:

  • There’s no such thing as a great salesperson — and Lee can prove it!

  • Clinging to the outdated expression “You’re only as good as your last sale” is a performance-limiting belief

  • The negative consequences of believing sales is nothing but a numbers game

  • Salespeople prospect too much — yes, you read that statement correctly!

  • There’s only one time when you will ever get a return call from a voicemail message, but is leaving these messages a waste of time?

  • Telling prospects about your experience fails to differentiate you — and what truly sets you apart

  • Salespeople don’t get as many referrals as they want and should

  • Differentiation isn’t just a marketing responsibility — salespeople play an essential role, too

  • Discovery meetings need to go away — and what they should be replaced with

  • Two words salespeople commonly use turn buyers off — and what they should be replaced with

  • Salespeople shouldn’t use the word “help” with prospects except in one circumstance

  • Finding prospect pain doesn’t mean a deal is likely

  • Salespeople have low proposal win rates, and how they can immediately increase it

  • Overcoming objections is the wrong approach to navigating deal obstacles

And much, much more! Be prepared to laugh while you learn with Lee. This is a great program to invite your sales team to participate with you.
