Yes, there are a lot of reasons why this can be the case, but one problem that gets overlooked too often is the source of the sales prospects. Doesn’t it make sense that cheap prospects would naturally become cheap customers? Obviously, I don’t recommend being blunt and asking the prospect right away if they’re cheap.

If you ask me, it was lame and pathetic and the only thing I could think of is whatever it was he was selling must have been way overpriced to begin with. Negotiating with the prospect or offering a discount to a prospect to entice a sale is absolutely pathetic. Sell first. It won’t get you far, though.

It never ceases to amaze me, that with all the options salespeople have, they choose to alienate, anger or cause doubt in the mind of the prospect by setting the wrong tone with their questions. And maybe the prospect feels that’s none of your business. It’s a waste of the prospect’s time. Good start.
