You shouldn't. All of them should be seen as guides but you should feel free to color outside the lines. Otherwise, you're limiting your ability to adjust according to your buyer.

no way. methodologies are just that. a method, a framework,

Not a step by step plan to follow for guaranteed success. something to guide you is helpful but you are going to have to add your own changes to it.

Everyone is unique, everyone has his/her own style so I am sure no one would things exactly as it is.

Nope. I use various techniques sprinkled in with my own glitter.

Meddic and Bantr are the most widely “used” by companies but they aren’t followed very closely anywhere I’ve been.

Nope because each deal/client/company requires tailoring. Exactly why every sales book is full of shit.

I don't mean to compare my prospects to dogs, but my sales techniques follow many of the same rules as dog training
