Thought Sequences: How To Teach Prospects About Your Product (Ep. 62)

Consumers don’t want to talk to your sales team anymore.

They don’t want your sales team to interfere with their buyer’s journey. At least, not until they’ve done their own research.

In fact, most people don’t want to speak with a sales rep until they’ve reached the “consideration stage,” and many more would prefer to avoid your sales team entirely.

So how do you guide prospects towards a buying decision, without having a one-on-one conversation?

Because if you want to sell your product to your more “introverted” prospects, then you’re going to need to provide content on your website that enables them to make educated buying decisions on their own.

In other words, you need to “clone” your sales person’s best pitch using content, then share that content using your website, advertising, and email marketing to bring prospects through the ideal “thought sequence” so they’ll buy your product.

To discuss this topic, I’m joined by Marcus Krieg, who explains what thought sequences are, and how to use them to effectively teach prospects about your product.
