Terrible Coach - Talking Too Much

video cover

Had a boss at a previous job that was constantly talking over clients, never asked questions and wondered why he never got the information needed to close the deal. He would just talk about how awesome he was and never closed anything. Terrible Coach.


Couldn't help myself. Got to think this song was playing in the clients head each and every time.


Enjoy.

The clients probably needed a Red Solo Cup after those shitty meetings.

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
Seems like the kinda guy that would just tell you to show them the value whenever an objection would come up.ย

My question daily. Unfortunately, the answer in my case is because he's a good motivator and means well.

In my case the guy owned the company. A real mind bender. I think his success could only be attributed to the fact that he was ahead of some regulatory changes.....definitely not his sales skills.ย

๐Ÿ˜ซ My current boss is like this. It's so painful and I now do anything I can to avoid having him on my calls. He's such a nice guy but he has the best stamina of them all, could talk for 5 minutes straight and you'll be sitting there wondering if he took a breath at all. Worst part is, there is no value to his words 95% of the time.
