When you are in sales, there is always the pressure to find a deal and close it quickly. While getting the deal done quickly is generally good, it can lead to you making some concessions that impact a future deal. Build your value early, then progress a deal steadily, with thought to every modification to ensure an exchange of value. If you reinforce the focus on the outcome you deliver and how you improve your customer's business (or their lives), you will never have to give "naked" concessions just to close.

2moSalespeople don't want to be told what to do. They want to be told what has worked, so they can improve their own processes and make it their own. Everyone has their own style of what works for them. If you try telling sellers what to do, they'll check the box. If you teach them what works and how, they'll add it to their check-list. Reminds me of one of my favorite Steve Job's quotes, "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."
