#30 – Please… Just Shut Up!
Too many sales people talk too much. They will talk themselves right out of an easy sale. If they would just shut up and listen, the prospect will almost always tell you want they need or want. Exercise patience when conducting sales calls and allow the conversation to move in the direction the prospect wants.
Consumers, B2B and B2C, are far too informed to think we can guide them through a sales call anymore. They have likely already researched you and your product or service prior to you even arriving. And if you come in running off at your mouth, you’ll completely miss it.
Thank you so much for consuming my content. I sincerely hope that, at least on some level, you find value. I will never claim to have all of the answers. All I have are my experiences – successes and failures – and I hope you enjoy hearing about them as much as I enjoy sharing them.
