Tomo's Sales Hack: Build Enduring Customer Relationships
One of the most important things I learned at Ekata was how important it was to build relationships, whether that’s with your co-workers, customers, or prospects. Prior to Covid, our sales team was frequently out in the field to join customers for meetings or even just quick chats. Our company strongly believes going the extra mile (or many miles if you’re flying) to meet with customers and understand their needs helps build a stronger relationship and benefits greatly down the line.

Jayson's Sales Hack: Own It
Don’t be afraid to be different. Don’t sound like every other salesperson. Own where you're from. I use the word 'Aloha' like crazy to let my clients know I‘m from Hawaii and where I am from we treat each other with Aloha (love). It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.

David's Sales Hack: Be your genuine self
It isn’t that deep. I think as salespersons, we sometimes forget to be ourselves and feel like we need to recreate a perfect, stereotypical sales persona and we leave our personality at the door. When I reach out to a prospect (whether it’s on the phone or email), I like to personalize my pitch by adding a cheesy play on words using either their company name, mention I spoke to their colleague before getting transferred to them, etc. It is still important to keep it short and to the point, but short doesn’t need to be boring. This will break the mold of sales pitches everyone is used to hearing and will hopefully lead to a more natural conversation. If it doesn’t, at least you will make your prospect smile and leave them with a positive feeling about your company, product or service.
