If you're looking for a really good ladder to help you reach the really good fruit. Go and get a ladder if you have to." Tom Boston My take on the phrase would go something like this: "Pick the high-hanging fruit. I love fruit, but this fruit has seen better days.This fruit has been nibbled on a few times already by the local wildlife ❌.
Here's that phrase from a rep's perspective:
I always wondered how ripe and juicy this low-hanging fruit is actually going to be though? My team love fruit, especially when it's in close range ✅.All strawberries hang low really.įrom a manager's perspective, this phrase makes complete sense. But I'm not even sure they are a fruit? And they are very easy to pick because they grow in bushes. I personally have never been fruit-picking. You've probably, at least once in your sales career, been told to go for the low-hanging fruit. You can focus on adding value, rather than trying to hit your KPIs.Īlso, nobody has ever thrown a book at me.

Listen back to your calls and figure out where you could have listened better. Once you stop waffling and cut the fluff, you'll start to have better conversations.

This is amazing!" you scream internally.Īnd what's the first thing you do? You start jibber-jabbering. I know what it's like when you finally get through to a prospect.

Jibber-Jabber Rapid and excited speech that is difficult to understand.īeing good at talking is one of the best skills you can have in sales.
