Most relationship-based sales don’t happen on the first call. Often the first call is the first step in the sales process. The bigger the sale, the longer the process and the more steps.  Each step is an investment of time and energy, with a shared risk on both sides of the table.  How can we increase the likelihood of winning the sale with each step?

So get ready to learn more about Follow-through or Foul Up and much more on episode 421 of the Get in the Door Podcast.

In complex, relationship sales there is usually more than one person involved in the overall decision to make a change.  In addition, to the most common motive and finding three reasons to change, there may also be more than three people affected.  Getting everyone, together to agree and commitment, can be a challenge.

In today’s show, we will discuss Important to Who? Understanding the people and process of the sale, and much more on episode 417.

Have you ever had a sales call where you felt desperate to close the deal? Where you REALLY needed to make this sale? Or one where you felt the buyer had all of the control? Did you make those deals? Were you able to maintain profit margin or did you end up giving it all away? How we view ourselves and our status in the marketplace can have a great effect on the outcome of a sales call.

On today’s show, Scott and I will discuss Sales Posture and Confidence and much more on episode 412 of the Get in the Door Podcast.

Imagine you the just held the best prospect meeting ever. They asked you all the right questions. You gave them all the right answers. There were no questions. It was a “drop the mic” moment.  Silence. Then they said. “Well, thank you for coming in. I can tell you really know your stuff. You taught me a lot. I can see why so many people pick you. I will think this over and get back to you.”  Now you want to pick up the mic and ask – “what happened?”

In this episode, Bill and I will investigate the “I need to think about it” objection and how you can deal with it, and much more.

Acquiring a new customer can cost 4 to 5 times as much as retaining a current customer. Meanwhile, the success rate of selling new product or services to an existing customer is over 50% whereas the success rate of getting a NEW customer may be as low as 5%. Obviously it is worth our time to concentrate on developing the accounts we already have.

On today’s show, Scott and I will discuss Major Account Strategy and a bunch of other information designed for the sales professional on episode 410.
