When something goes wrong on an installation it is common for salespeople to become afraid of the customer and hide. With this approach, the customer has every right to be frustrated with you. Instead, you can be proactive and keep them in the loop (in real-time)—which can save the job and your relationship with the customer.

In today’s episode, Tim sits down with Sam O’Donnell of Fireside Home Solutions to finish discussing Sam’s five principles to simplify the customer buying experience. 

In this episode you will learn: 

How committed customers coming into your showroom are more serious than you think (and how easy you can make it for them to buy). 

Why a salesperson needs to follow up with customers at least seven times (and why customers don't think it's annoying).

How you can sell 50% more than you did in the previous year without spending a dime (it only takes a little bit of your time, but makes a huge difference). 

Understanding how to simplify your customers' buying experience will not only make them more likely to buy, but also make your life easier. Taking the extra effort to keep your customers on track throughout the entire sales process is rare in our industry. Listen to this episode to win more sales and serve your customers better than anyone else.

ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.
