365 Ways To Double Your Sales – 16

Wanna Double Your Sales? Set Mutually Agreed Upon Agendas

What that means is that you need to now find out their top criteria and time frame for making a decision. This has always been a tricky part for sales people I’ve trained because they don’t want to insult the person with whom they are speaking (why they are talking to a “seemore” is the topic of another blog post) so they let the prospect drive the discussion.

Now that you are following an agenda it is time for you to ask something along the lines of,

“Mr. Prospect, What are your top 3 non-negotiable criteria when..

Followed by…

“Mr. Prospect, When you are evaluating new options / vendors / solutions can you walk me through the process you follow?

You can take control of the sales process if you simply follow a system and have the courage to ask a few questions up front. If you listen (which means you are asking good questions prepared in advance) the prospect will tell you exactly what they want and how much they will pay and when and how they’ll buy it.
