When it comes to sales, you might feel as if there are many factors that are outside of your control. To an extent this is true, but when it comes down to it – you actually wield more influence over the situation than you think. Once you realize what you can control, and what you can influence , you will feel more confident approaching prospects and delivering solutions and recommendations to your clients.

We struggle to get a foothold in a large account. Winning that first deal in the account requires us to get the customer to change. To get them to think differently, addressing problems/opportunities differently. If we succeed, we have helped the customer innovate, to rethink what they currently do, and to do it differently. The customer chose us because they felt compelled to change.

One of the primary rules of sales is to talk to someone who has the power to make a buying decision. If you don’t do that, you can’t close the deal — no matter how well you do your job. In many companies, the chief financial officer (CFO) is the ultimate authority on buying decisions. You can present your pitch to other managers, who can then check with the CFO or recommend your product or service to them.
