Sales Made Simple™ - Potential sale that is dragging on...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I’ve got a potential sale that is dragging on and on and I’m about ready to give up. I’m having a hard time getting in to see the decision maker. I get some interest going and then I can’t see her for a few weeks because she’s traveling or she’s just too busy. I’m sending emails. I’m leaving phone messages. What else should I be doing?"
Sales Made Simple™ Cutting our price isn't an option...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "A low-cost competitor has really gotten my customer’s attention. To keep my customer’s business, they want us to cut our price without changing our service level. There’s no way this competitor can do it at that price. Cutting our price isn’t an option and I don’t want to lose this customer. Any ideas?"
Sales Made Simple™ I am a "weak closer"...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "According to my manager, I’m a “weak closer,” but I’ve spent so much time developing these relationships that I really don’t want to come off as pushy. So what I do is spend time laying out all the details and eventually the light bulb comes on for them. You know, if you compare me to the rest of my team my average sales are pretty much the same as everyone else. So, who’s right…my manager or me?"
Sales Made Simple™ I hate cold calling!
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I hate cold calling! People get over their fear of flying. So is there any way of me getting over my fear of cold calling?"
Sales Made Simple™ I know who's holding things up...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I’ve been working with a prospect for four months. The decision maker says we have to agree on a purchase. I know who’s holding things up and I’ve done everything I can think of to figure out why. So far nothing has worked. How do I move this forward?"
Sales Made Simple™ I'd like to see the "dead-end" sign!
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I recently called on one of the larger prospects for several weeks before they told me their purchasing function was centralized in their corporate office - which is far out of my territory. I’d like to see the “dead-end” sign well before it hits me in the face! How can you tell quickly if a prospect is worth your time?"
Sales Made Simple™ Our department made a mistake...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "Our service department made the mistake of giving this new purchasing manager the excuse he needs to go out for bid. The department fixed the mistake quickly and correctly, but it made no difference with the purchasing manager. How do I stabilize this account?"
Sales Made Simple™ The No Show!
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I schedule appointments with this particular prospect, but half the time when I show up, he’s been called away. This is getting old. What’s the best way to handle this?"
Sales Made Simple™ They just won't make a decision...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "You see, I’m working with a decision maker who has the sole authority, but they just won’t make a decision. How do you handle situations like that?"
Sales Made Simple™ They're not the decision maker...
A salesperson asks our sales expert (Skip Normand) a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I just found out the person that I’ve been calling on is not the decision maker and she’s made it clear to call on her. If I try to go around her, she’ll make sure that I never get any business from them. I’ve got nothing to lose so how do I handle this before going to the decision maker?"
Sales Made Simple™ What is a "trial close"?
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "My manager has tried to explain what a “trial close” is, but I’m just not getting it. You’re either closing or you’re not. What’s the difference and why use “trial closes?”
Sales Made Simple™ Zero interest when cold calling...
A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I get almost zero interest when I’m cold calling. It’s usually, “We’ll call you if we need anything.” Got any suggestions?"
