Ignoring the customer. Trying to prove the customer is wrong. Failing to ask for the sale. We in sales are a finicky group. We may not think of ourselves as being self-centered, but in reality, there are too many situations where we become exactly that when we are with a customer. ” Sales Motivation Blog.

Steer clear of customers who are concerned about specific little issues that don’t play a key role in the overall sale.

Is your sales process slow or fast? Selling fast works great because it gets you to a state of actually doing business with the client rather than merely talking about it.

To offset their inability to do what they’re supposed to be able to do, they feel the way to close the sale is by offering a discount.
