Sandler Rule #2: If Your Competition Does It, Stop Doing It Right Away

|

Blending in is the quickest way to get overlooked.

If your outreach sounds just like the last five sales calls your prospect had, why should they remember yours?

David Sandler’s challenge was to flip the script: stop doing what everyone else does. The top salespeople know how to stand out—not with gimmicks, but by creating a buyer experience that feels nothing like the norm.

Ask yourself: would a prospect instantly recognize that your approach is different? Or would they struggle to tell you apart?

In a crowded market, sameness is forgettable. Standing out is the only way forward.

The best salespeople and teams win because they:

  • Open conversations in ways their prospects don’t expect

  • Focus on curiosity and questions instead of long pitches

  • Build trust by creating a buyer experience that feels different

Take a look at your outreach—would a prospect know the difference between you and the competition? If not, it’s time to stand out.

Because in today’s market, being different is your biggest advantage.
