Video Summary

The webinar, hosted by Ana Bellanes, featured Justin Lee of Focus for Growth discussing how to succeed in a hybrid selling environment. Justin outlined the main challenges salespeople face today: getting customers to meet, maintaining confidence, keeping momentum, managing remote meetings, and improving questioning and listening skills.<br /><br />He introduced three hybrid selling principles: decide which meetings should be in person versus virtual, prioritize tasks beyond selling, and create a planned cycle for client work and meetings. He then shared 12 practical tips for virtual and remote selling, covering areas such as following a customer-aligned sales process, creating a professional meeting environment, minimizing distractions, practicing on video platforms, using strong reasons for customer meetings, sending effective calendar invitations, choosing the right communication channel, making eye contact on camera, building rapport quickly, listening actively, keeping control of the sales process, and combining virtual meetings with physical materials or samples.<br /><br />Justin also promoted Focus for Growth’s Sales Acceleration Scorecard and his book Inspire, Influence, Sell as tools for development. In the Q&A, he emphasized that hybrid meetings require careful setup and that hybrid selling is likely here to stay, even as in-person meetings increase again.
