He was making one crucial error that was leading to him not getting very far with prospects. I want to share with you what this common prospecting error is and how to immediately fix it. I told the rep the problem was that he wasn’t making any connection in the beginning and wasn’t allowing his prospect to engage with him at all.

To follow up on the blog post from two weeks ago (about the one quick fix to get your VMs returned ), here is the second quick fix: Stop trying to trick your prospect! So do your prospects. Your prospects can see through you and your message will be deleted quickly. I ALWAYS delete these messages the moment I hear them.

Because of this, it fools many sales reps who think that perhaps after a week or two the prospect might actually buy. Like my suggestions from the last two weeks, try this the next time you get this objection, and see if you can have an open, honest discussion with your prospect. But they rarely do. That’s the only way to win a sale.

Establishing rapport with a prospect in the very beginning is perhaps the most important first step to earning the right to have a conversation that might eventually lead to a sale. If your prospect asks you how you are (after you ask them), DON’T just say, “fine” or “good” and then launch into your pitch. Try it and see for yourself!

So many sales reps are anxious when they speak with a prospect. Plus, they know that most of the “prospects” they speak with don’t turn into a deal anyway, so, why not learn who is a real prospect right from the get go?

A whopping 50% of your prospects may not be a good fit for the product/service you sell. Mike Bosworth, who was affiliated with Xerox at that time, popularized this method and started licensing his technique in 1988. Think of the times a prospect has needs which extend beyond the scope of your off-the-shelf products.

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.

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. If possible, stand up a few times a day, or get in the habit of pacing while on the phone with a prospect or customer.

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!
