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.
