17 Sales Closing Mistakes to Stop Making Right Now
1. Closing only once
You should consistently “close” throughout the sales process for three reasons: First, you’ll gradually secure greater and greater buy in from your prospect; second, you’ll filter out tire kickers; and third, you’ll get key information, meetings, introductions, and more.
For example, on your first call you might ask for the buyer’s cell phone number. Being able to call or text them directly (rather than going through their assistant or calling their work line) will make them much easier to contact.
At the end of the third meeting, you could ask them to connect you with procurement so you can start learning about their purchasing requirements. Not only will you have a head start over other vendors, you’ll seem more prepared and experienced”.
