Sales Training London: Sales Training ABC of Closing
Why should you never "close" to win more business? What does closing your prospect do to his defence walls? When someone tries to close you, what's your reaction? Do you warm to them? Or do you put your hand on your wallet to protect yourself? I don't suppose you've ever said "that sounds interesting but I need to think about it"? So why would your prospects feel any differently if you come in with a close?
The Startling Secret of Eight-Figure Product Launches That Jeff Walker Never Taught You (Yes, It's Not Found in PLF2)!
What makes a product launch mega-successful? Not just a $1M launch, but a launch in the vein of StomperNet and Mass Control. Everyone else makes $1M but Mass Control makes $23M. What makes all other launches seem so small in comparison to Mass Control? Most people already know that you need proper positioning for your products. But, this is different: it's magic positioning. It is the rocket fuel to your product launch, and it's crucial that you establish your magic position before you do anything else. The magic position principle is to position your product to start as close to the finish line as close as you can. You have 100% control over your positioning –you can choose to position as far from the finish line as possible, or you can position it at the finish line itself.

Regain Control of the Sale
Do you ever feel like you’re losing control of the conversation with a potential customer that keeps going off on tangents? You quickly realize that you better regain control of the conversation quickly… or you are going to lose the sale! You might find yourself in this situation when you have a potential customer that bombards you with questions, stories, and off the wall scenarios. At first, you think "Wow" this person is extremely interested! Thirty minutes later you realize… wait a minute… we are nowhere close to getting this deal. Here is a technique that you can master and never face the above scenario again!
Just Because You Are Impatient Does NOT Mean I Have To Move Any Faster
Have we evolved into beings that have become so selfish and self absorbed that we have forgotten about our own self control? The ability to keep your mental, emotional and physical being, in check, requires self-control. The inability to do so is a sign that you are "out of control." When you easily lose your self control, you will most certainly fire off outbursts of anger, temper and blame on others.
What You Control
You may not be able to control if your job gets cut, but you can control whether you're a high performer who your boss is fighting to keep. You may not be able to control how quickly you get another job, but you can control the number of daily contacts you make in your search and how you "show up," future-focused, at the interview. You may not be able to control the amount of work you get, but you do control whether you're responding as a victim or taking action toward developing your skills and contacts for a new future.

Are you following a Sales Process?
If not, you are not only wasting your time, but you are also losing sales because of it. You think you are in control but in reality you are out of control. Have you ever been rejected? If your answer is yes, you have just proven that you are not in control of the sales process; however, the buyer is in control. Isn’t it your job and responsibility as a sales professional to qualify the prospects and to reject them if they are not qualified? Who is really qualifying? Who is really in control?
Shorten the Sales Cycle
It seems as if your customers' number one goal is to lengthen it! The economy and an environment of heightened skepticism have doubled or even tripled the length of the sales cycle in many industries. So what can you do that is in your control to accelerate the close?
The Secret to Feeling in Control During Times of Change
For most of us, the thought of having control over life inconveniences seems like a great idea; wouldn’t it be great to control traffic, the weather, our family or neighbors? However, rather than actual control over our environment, what we really want is simply a sense of control, to feel like we’re on top of things. This can be achieved by choosing to accept challenges for what they are, setting a clear intention of what we need to do and finding the balance between our level of ability and the challenge presented. By learning to consciously reframe even the most chaotic situation, you’ll find that feeling “in control” is less about making life go according to plan, and more about your ability to focus on what you can control.

Assessing Our Ability to Influence Others
In our personal and leadership development workshops we often conduct a 'degrees of control' exercise. We ask participants to come up with examples in the following areas: 1. Direct Control; 2. Influence; and 3. No Control. While there's often lots of debate and not always full agreement, examples under No Control generally include things like the weather, the economy, natural disasters, freak accidents, and the like. Discussions about my degree of Direct Control usually boil down to just one thing - me. However, some autocratic people fool themselves into thinking they have direct control over their teams, kids, or people reporting to them. Many other people are quick to surrender to the Victimitis Virus and declare they have no control or even influence over the behavior of anyone else.
