Objections to your proposal can occur at any time in the sales process. They can come early, when you are initially discussing ideas; they can come late, when you are just about to conclude the discussions. Whenever they occur, you need to be confident in your approach and recognise that any objection is not a definitive ‘no’. It can be a request for more information, or a clarification on a specific point.

Being in sales is kind of like being a professional football player…. In football, each result can either be celebrated (or not) for a very short time. If you win the game, you get about a day to enjoy the victory, and then it’s on to the next game where you need to win and prove yourself all over again. Same in sales. Each month you shoot for a victory (making your numbers), and, if you hit them – great….for about a day.
