How To Stop Chasing Prospects Forever! Explains how salespeople can begin the sales process, right from the start, in ways that will eliminate flakey prospects and end the old routine of having to chase prospects in order to make a sale.
Making Sales is Easy When You Learn How to Make Friends You must change the focus of the sales experience on making a friend
rather than making a sale. When you focus on making a friend at all
costs, you will find ways to serve your customers beyond the scope of
what you do in your business.
Be Yourself I can't tell you how many times I say to clients and workshop participants, "It's not about you, it's about your clients." And I stand by that. The subtle, tricky part about connecting with your marketplace is that you still have to be yourself. So it is about you, but not in the way you might think.
Qualifying vs closing What is the most important step in the sales process? Why? How would you close a sale without identifying the issue?
Evaluating Your Customer It is one thing to make a sales presentation, but it is another thing to make a sales presentation without first evaluating your customer.

Business Appointment Success or Failure One of the quickest ways to loose a sale is to be late for an appointment. A businessperson's character, among other things, may be judged by their punctuality. Some prospects may see it as a slap in the face if you are late for your meeting with them. They may view it as a sign you have no regard for your own word, or their time. And you cannot be depended upon. So why should they do business with the likes of you?
Curiosity and How It Effects Your Business Proposition The first 15 seconds of your approach are the most important seconds of your entire sales presentation. You must instill curiosity in the mind of your prospect. It is a form of interest. As people, we are curious by nature. Curiosity wants to be informed. This state of mind is just where you want your prospect to be in at the beginning of your sales talk.
The Makings of a Salesman Salesmanship is the force that moves business. Without it all business would be at a stand-still. Just being able to sell does not complete the definition of salesmanship. A fraudulent person may be able to sell you a piece of swamp land, but because they were able to sell the worthless piece of property to you, does that say they demonstrated salesmanship?
Your Business Approach Can Make or Break a Business Deal Every sales presentation should start with the approach, or introduction. Your approach should be a well-defined statement that can be easily adjusted for any situation. Although getting the prospect's attention brings fear into the hearts of some people, generally, it is not a difficult thing to do. But it can be easily lost with drawn-out, unnecessary chitchat.
