THE CHALLENGE
Helping Clients Succeed: Closing The Sale
The top performer difference.
The top performer difference.
Research from CSO Insights 2011 showed that only one out of six sales presentations had greater than a 50/50 chance of resulting in a sale. We feel many salespeople — even solid professionals — lose a sale for two common reasons:
Many sales presentations are lost before they are even given. Salespeople present to open the sales cycle rather than presenting to close.
The sales presentations are information rich and decision poor. The presentations end in “thanks a lot,” “we’ll think about it,” “Hey—could you leave us some of the PowerPoint slides?” Critically, no decision is made.
“Nowhere in the sales process do a few minutes of dialogue more quickly determine whether we continue or end our relationship than during the initial interaction.”
