Boss Mode or Getting Past the Palace Guard
There have been many, many books and articles written about the art of creating rapport with prospects. Usually what it boils down to is being like the prospect as you can be without mimicking or imitating them. When you are able to do this well, your prospect will see you as being like them. That prospect is then more likely to feel comfortable with you and want to spend time with you and do business with you.

3. Penetration Selling -- Penetrating the Prospect's Reluctance to Communicate
Once your prospect is “located”, the Prospecting step is complete and you are ready to begin the “Opening” step.

Stress-Free Selling® - The Fastest Way to Build a Relationship
The Fastest Way to Build Relationships is Not to Work on the Relationship! Contrary to the belief that building relationships is paramount in the sales process, Jenaé Rubin, president of Sales Powerhouse, believes: A good relationship is the natural outcome of everything done right. Many salespeople approach the process thinking "I have to develop a good relationship with the prospect. So, they start by asking "friendly" questions that have nothing to do with the business relationship. People see right through this sales “strategy.”

How Companies Can Heal Their Wounded Personal Relationships
A crisis is gripping the business community that is deeper and more far reaching than most people realize or even imagine. At the heart of the crisis is peoples ineffectiveness at managing their relationships. The root cause of these failed relationships is failed communication. None of us have ever been taught how to appropriately communicate with each other and thereby nurture our relationships with each other. What makes all of this particularly disastrous is that personal relationships are the foundation for accomplishment and satisfaction in life. Many people fail to appreciate the importance of maintaining their relationships.

Listen to What Your Prospect is Saying to You
Occasionally, you will come across a prospect who asks questions or offers objections that you have never before encountered, so you don’t have an ideal way to deal with them. Even so, you need to respond to your prospect appropriately. If you ignore their questions or statements, you will end up with a prospect who is seriously annoyed.
Persistence and the Honourable Retreat
Did you know: Over 50% of sales people give up at 1st contact if they get a ‘NO' from the prospect never to go back to that prospect again. At the 5th contact 7% of sales people are left to speak with the prospect to see if they can do business together. At the 8th contact there is only one sales person left to work with the prospect. Hopefully it is you. Many sales people, especially those new to sales, often take it personally when a prospect says ‘NO'. Many fail to persist and often fail to favourably position themselves to ‘leave the door open' for future contact thus limiting their sales opportunities even further.

Business is all about relationships and yet many of us are novices when it comes to maintaining and deepening our relationships.

How do I get my sales people to create some urgency with the client?
If what you have will benefit your prospect enormously and they don’t go ahead now, who will lose? The prospect will, and of course so will you, but if you genuinely believe that what you have is right for your prospect you will be letting them down by not asking for the order then and there.

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".
