You’re in the market for an immense smart TV, so you’re shopping in the real world again for the first time since Covid made the world a vicious game of The Outside is Lava.

Standing outside, you see the salesperson at the door is salivating and rubbing their hands together like some cartoon villain, so you roll your eyes and buy your dream TV elsewhere.

That’s a classic case of buyer resistance.

How can you ensure your reps aren’t the seller in the doorway, chasing off your buyers?

Today, we’re speaking with Kerry Cunningham, Senior Principal, Product Marketing at 6sense, who says the key to overcoming buyer resistance is understanding their behavior — and he shares a ton of behavioral insights in this episode, including:

“The buyer is in control. They have so much access to information, with so much more control over how they get it and what information they get. That and this more radical transparency means that sellers have to enable buyers.”
