How to Stop Losing Sales
Have you ever felt that your product or service was an absolute perfect fit for a prospective customer then found out later that you lost the business? If you're like most sellers, you've probably been in that situation more than once. (I have!) Losing a big sale is downright painful. You may also have an overpowering urge to blame the decision makers for making a "stupid" choice or for their failure to see why they should change now. I'd like to suggest an alternative: turn your losses into learning opportunities. Use post-mortem debriefings to figure out how you might have contributed to the lost sale. That's what top sellers do. They assume total accountability for the lost business and then try to figure out how to ensure it never happens again.

How To Disaster-Proof Your Business
How much pain would your business feel if suddenly you couldn’t email your clients? What if you lost your correspondence file or your phone lost its dial tone? We tend to avoid thinking about a business catastrophe until it hits close to home. And when problems hit, we need them fixed yesterday and are willing to pay a lot to make them go away.
Sales Training Salespeople Who Lose Sales Can Bounce Back
Salespeople need to get over lost sales to avoid a sales slump. At age 45 George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer after he was outboxed for the first nine rounds. What can salespeople learn to recover from lost sales from a comeback in boxing?
First Write-Off
Write offs are difficult to avoid. Most business, sooner or later, will see some expected income lost. Most of the time it is real loss, since you lost either billable hours or inventory. Although it is difficult to look at it in any good way, you may be able to find ways of making lemonade out of this lemmon.
Success Lessons from Serena’s Meltdown
As you go through life you will encounter many problems and setbacks. You need to react positively to the negative stuff and move forward toward your goals. Serena Williams lost in the semi finals to Kim Clijsters, who went on to win the championship. Serena not only lost, she lost in a bizarre manner that could have been avoided had she chosen to react positively to an unfair setback she encountered during the match. To use a term we seem to hear a lot these days, there is a “teachable moment” here. Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and careers. Choosing to react positively to people and events is a good way to take responsibility for yourself.
10 Steps to Recover from Failure or Loss
Sometimes life throws curves at us that take the wind from our sail. If we aren’t careful we can allow the injury to haunt us for life; never regaining what we have lost. Have you lost a job recently? Have you had a business failure? Did you suffer from divorce? Has the person you trusted the most hurt you the deepest?

A Philosophy To Live By
Wisdom goes back a long way and comes in the form of examples, illustrations, stories, cliches, parables, etc. One of the oldest bits of philosophy says that “for want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a leader was lost, for want of a leader a battle was lost, for want of a victory a war was lost, for want of a plan a nation was lost.”
Turning “Lost” Customers into Great Future Customers
The search for lost customer sales treasure does take work - but the upside of the effort is huge. You never know what hidden gems of business you might find in your lost customers. Once you’ve identified lost customers with the potential of becoming great new customers, ask yourself a few questions and then make contact.

Check Your Lost and Found File: Former Customers Make Great Future Customers
Want to win more business? “Lost” customers are the key! Many salespeople hit the delete key on former customers and focus on new prospects, but this is a big mistake! Former customers make great future customers, so increase your sales by earning the business of customers you’ve “lost” over the years. Here are a few steps you can take to revisit your “lost” customers and increase sales.
Are you done?
Are you done? I love underdogs. This love for the less likely winner may be the result of that that I was an underdog many times throughout my life. I was born a sickly child, lost my parents at a young age, experienced extreme poverty, had little or no education (dropped out of school after eighth grade), amassed fortunes and lost them, lost my sisters and oldest son, and that’s just a small part of my “Under Dog List.” Regardless of all the disadvantages and failures in my life, I always possessed (and still do) a “Keep Going” attitude. Even when I had no idea on how to survive into the next moment, let alone the next day, I would keep going. When I could not figure out what to do next, I would keep going with whatever I could at the moment. When we keep going, something always comes through for us.
