I’m a big believer in preparation, so whenever I can, I create a deal plan with my prospect. The deal plan should cover whatever your prospect suggests but will generally encompass the remainder of the sales cycle, how to sell the product internally, and the implementation of the product. Why You Should Create a Deal Plan. Setting up a formal deal plan makes sure you and your prospect -- and anyone else associated with the purchase decision -- are on the same page.

If you build that sales process based on best practices and put it front and center, sales will almost certainly improve.

In my humble opinion, it’s a recipe for failure, because it’s not about the end result but a starting date. If we were to set intentions, rather than making resolutions, we would probably be more successful in keeping the promises to ourselves.
