As anyone in professional selling knows, your prospect list is your lifeline. No prospects mean no sales, and no sales mean no money!
But have you ever looked at your prospect list and realised this list of people you should feel excited and enthusiastic about calling actually makes you want to do anything but pick up the phone and start making those calls? Have you ever looked at a name on your prospect list and thought, “Oh no, I can’t ring them again!” Instead of feeling like your prospect list is a goldmine ready to provide you with unlimited commissions you start to see it as more of a landmine – you start hesitating to call your prospects and you get a feeling of dread whenever you look at it! |

Eleanor Roosevelt Teaches Sales 101
| |
| Whenever I hear a prospect tell me "no" I think of Eleanor Roosevelt who once said, "Never take a "no" from someone that can't say "yes". How true...
Many times the prospect that says "no" cannot say "yes" either because they aren't a decision-maker, or they are the wrong person to be speaking to in the first place. Of course the prospect never tells you they can't say "yes". So it's up to you to find out!
Next time a prospect tells you "no", follow Eleanor Roosevelt's rule, and make sure that you're getting a valid "no" from the prospect you're speaking with, and not from someone that can only say "no" because they can't say "yes". |
