Hitches in Sales : The Panagora Blog

Very quickly…there are four reasons you are probably lagging behind your peers in sales.
This Monday presents a fantastic opportunity to remedy them.
One, you are probably selling to the wrong people. If you do a fantastic job selling to the wrong person you won’t close. Interestingly, in this part of the world people find it difficult to own up to inability to make decisions on behalf of their organization. You probably have assumed since you are talking to a Director you are good, but don’t assume. Find out if he has decision making powers.
Two, selling without marketing
Suffice to say that people respond better to sales when marketing has done a fantastic job in tailored messaging that adequately hits the pain points.
Third, you are having the wrong kind of conversations. Selling is entirely about conversations. Good quality conversations lead to sales while bad conversations lead to plenty “I will get back to you”. In sales, people are judged by what they say.
Lastly, selling when you should be closing
Sometimes, all you need to send is account number but then you still spend 20Minutes on the phone trying to convince a man who’s completely sold. You may end up “Unselling” someone you already sold and probably demystify yourself and your product in the process.
