How to Handle: I looked it over and not interested

How to Handle: I looked it over and not interested
By Mike Brooks, www.MrInsideSales.com
Don’t you hate it when you get back to your prospect, you’re ready to give a great pitch, you need the sale, and…and….they tell you they looked it over and they’re not interested!
Wait a minute! You want to scream. Just give me a chance….
Believe it or not, there is a way to deal with this. And it’s the same way to deal with every other recurring sales situations you get: Be prepared with a solid script – or two or three.

Why the ‘will to win’ isn’t enough…

Why the ‘will to win’ isn’t enough…
By Mike Brooks, www.MrInsideSales.com
 
“It’s not the will to win
that matters – everyone
has that. It’s the will
to prepare to win
that matters.”

Do You Know How Much Business You Have Behind You?

The Five Second Rule

Thoughts are things. As true as the law of gravity, this is one of the fundamental laws in the universe. Whatever you believe with feeling, you bring into your life. 
And like gravity, you don’t have to believe in it for it to always be working in your life. Take gravity for example. If you were to step off a ten-story building, the law of gravity would take over and you would fall ten stories to the ground. Again, whether you believed in gravity or not. 

How to Enhance Your Client Retention Success

When NON-Decision Makers Reject Your Price

“How should I respond when a NON decision maker asks me about pricing? Every time I answer them after they press me for a price, they say “Oh – my manager would never approve that” and the call ends. What should I do?”
To answer this correctly, we are going to reference those sales situations when indeed you are truly speaking with a NON-decision maker. This is a common scenario when a “warm lead” is involved. Typically, a lead comes in from a non-decision maker, and the sales person contacts the lead in order to qualify and set an appointment with the actual decision makers.

The One Important Buy-In Question (You better be asking)

Back in the office after two weeks on the road training in CA (shout out to my clients there!), and during both weeks – in L.A. and Oakland – it rained! My wife tells me I can no longer say it doesn’t rain in CA. It does, and I was there!
While preparing their training programs, there was one important similarity that I think applies to any sale. And that is identifying and asking the most important (value statement) question to get buy-in from your prospect up front. Let me explain.
