Give Me a “Yes,” Give Me a “No,” But Not a “Maybe”

No More Cold Calling

Definitive information lets me decide how and where to spend my business development time. I’d always prefer to hear a client say “Yes! Let’s work together.” But, I’d rather hear a “No” than a “Maybe.”. Clients who tell you maybe, string you along. You hang onto that string of hope that things may change. They’re reorganizing, and that takes time. They’re going through a technology conversion.

10 Cage-Rattling Questions to Ask Yourself in Your Sales Career

MTD Sales Training

Seldom do salespeople give themselves the opportunity to reflect on where they are in their career or where they are heading. They are either too involved in the nitty-gritty, everyday operational view of their jobs and accounts, or they don’t think it an important-enough issue to consider it for a long time. Or, as I suspect is the case in most situations, they don’t know what questions to ask themselves to reflect on the direction and vision they need to take.
