Sales Psychology 101
Sales Psychology 101
You can have numerous meetings with the company, talk to every single person there, prepare a great offer, but still be left on hold with the decision-making process. Then one day, your competitor walks in and closes the deal right there.
You worked on it for months – the prospect awarded the business in a couple of days (to someone else - they got it). Does that sound familiar? Has this ever happened to you?
In this episode of the "Heads Up Adviser" show hosts - John Sbrocco and Craig Lack will talk about the importance of the 6 Human Needs of every person on the planet (including your prospects).
They discuss the difference between selling and free consulting, what are the right questions you should ask your prospect and why being the smartest person in the room will not help you in closing a sale or allowing a prospect to conclude you are the best option.
