Rookie mistake: You’ve got several products or services you can offer a prospect, and you start by offering the first, or main one, then hear an opening for another one so pivot to that one, and describe another—and then another. Not only will the prospect be confused, but you will be, too. Stalled sale. Sound familiar? Happy selling!

This week, I listened to a closing call from one of their reps, and here is how the prospect opened the call: Prospect: “Let me just tell you upfront that we’re looking at a lot of different options right now of which yours is just one…”. Here’s what I teach: Prospects have all the answers. Take what a prospect gives you.

Two weeks into the New Year, and are you already stressed about picking up the phone and making prospecting calls? Think about it: Not everyone you speak with is going to be a prospect or a deal, are they?
