Today on the podcast, we have the second part of Mike’s training about how to triage a sale. This is such an essential part of sales. If you don’t understand how to properly set a framework of what your bid entails, what information you need from the prospective cleint, what information they’ll get from you and what the expectations are on either end, you aren’t going to be effective in resolving doubts, instilling confidence, and ultimately closing sales.

Today on the podcast, we have a workshop Mike did about how to close a sale when you give a bid. There are so many ways for someone to give you the run-around. Telling you, they need to think about. Telling you, they need to talk to their partner or spouse about it. Someone saying it’s too expensive and that they can’t afford it.  Etc. etc. But if you don’t have clear systems about how you close a bid, each excuse will trip you up. Mike shares ways to ensure that doesn’t happen and that you more successfully close the bids you want to close. 

Tweets:

  1. "The key to successful sales is being clear and upfront about the specific problem you solve. Only engage with potential customers who have that problem."
  2. "Don't lower your standards in sales. Only work with customers who are a good fit for your product or service."
  3. "Learn from your mistakes in sales and don't repeat them. The standard should be only to make mistakes once."
