It’s the start of the critical sales journey.

It is the key to unlocking the best and most ambitious of sales plans.

Employers are always lacking sales people who can reliably perform this function!

So, why isn’t everyone booking great sales appointments?

Good question!

The trouble is many sales people over complicate this task, making it more risky, less rewarding and more time consuming than it should.

• Which means results rarely reflect effort.
• Precious time is lost.
• Motivation drops as rejection soars
• Success is rarer than it should be
• They, sadly, run out of steam before they see any rewards for their efforts!

The combination of those 5 factors alone destroy otherwise very capable sales teams.

But ask yourself, how do you stop the downward cycle?

Maybe…

• Stop randomly dialling ‘job titles’ with a generic sales pitch
• Prepare compelling reasons why the prospect should / would engage
• Don’t take the first sign of resistance as fatal
• Stop selling way too early, instead build the qualifying / trust-building / relationship conversation
• Take time to explore risk, value and price
• Introduce some elements of self reflection into your sales day
• Ask yourself….

Now, ask yourself….
