setting it up

A tip for everyone is easy to give. Make sure that you have a next step after every sales meeting. Too many sales people have a good meeting with a prospect but then do not know what to do next. It is obvious, set up something, almost anything for the NEXT STEP in the process. The more that you have a action plan that both you and the prospect agree too, the better chance you have of closing the sale. More about that tomorrow. Steve

Stood Up

One of our salespeople went on an appointment today with a new prospect that he had cold called. When he got there, the person that he was scheduled to meet was on a conference call and would not see him. Instead he sent out a rep to talk to them about the company. In other words, they were going to meet with the wrong person. My suggestion was to politely see if you can reschedule the meeting with the #1 person and not have a useless meeting with the second one. What do you think?
