So many sales reps are anxious when they speak with a prospect. They know that unless they get these “tough” questions answered, there is no way to move the sale forward. 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?

I watched a sales rep making cold calls the other day. 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. Plus, what was missing was a value statement of what might be in it for the prospect.

If you want more “treats” than “tricks” when dealing with prospects, then be bold and call back sooner than you are now. I don’t know why sales reps always default to: “I’ll call you again in a month…” Or 60 days or 90 days, etc, but why would you want to miss all the sales this prospect will place in the meantime?

Because of this, it fools many sales reps who think that perhaps after a week or two the prospect might actually buy. Questioning this objection is much better than saying, “Okay, when should I call you back,” which is what most sales reps say. That’s the only way to win a sale.

Sales people like to talk; if you don’t believe me, just listen to a recording of one of your reps (or of yourself!). And when your ears are closed, you learn nothing about your prospect’s buying motives, their possible objections, or whether or not they are buying into your pitch. Ask questions frequently of your prospect.

Each time I work with a new company, the first thing I ask for are recordings of both their top two or three sales reps, and then recordings of everyone else. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and things have remained constant during that time: top sales reps are better for many different reasons (personality, work effort, etc.),

Most companies are under immediate pressure already to begin accomplishing their new goals and sales targets.

Wouldn’t it be convenient to have a list of 5 questions you could use to get your prospect talking, to get them to open up about how they’re feeling and what you might need to concentrate on? If you’re a manager, this is a great exercise for a sales meeting. You could do two: one for prospecting and one for the close.

One of the most important things I learned early on in my sales career is that attitudes are contagious. 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.

Instead, you should ask the prospect when a good time to follow up is. Little tweaks like this can make a huge difference in your overall sales results.
