If you want more “treats” than “tricks” when dealing with prospects, then be bold and call back sooner than you are now. I don’t know why sales reps always default to: “I’ll call you again in a month…” Or 60 days or 90 days, etc, but why would you want to miss all the sales this prospect will place in the meantime?

What’s the number one blow off prospects use these days?

Then hit MUTE again and listen as your prospect reveals more. They pitch features and benefits instead of asking questions and qualifying.

One of the most important things I learned early on in my sales career is that attitudes are contagious. My manager told me that when I’m on the phone with a prospect or customer, someone was going to sell someone—either the customer was going to sell me on why he wouldn’t buy, or I was going to sell him on why he should buy.
