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.

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?

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!
