Wondering if you should always be closing? A classic sales quote that’s been used for years in some great films is ‘always be closing’.
But while films like the ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ are absolute cinematic film classics – the sales advice in them is probably wrong for YOUR business!
So take a listen to this podcast episode I share my three top pieces of advice and practical tips that you can use to sell to corporates organisations that are more beneficial than ‘always be closing’ and why you should be using them.
I explain why you should always be human and you must remember that people do business with people and why this will help you build better more meaningful relationships than closing ‘at all costs’.
Discover why terms and conditions aren’t just a nice-to-have but why they are essential for your business, your sanity and how they will help you manage clients expectations and stop boundary creep.
Find out why you have to ditch the excuses and get out of the mindset that everyone else has better leads and a golden goose. And why you need to think about your proactive business development.
Plus why you should always be selling and thinking about what you are doing every single day in your business that will position you to sell your products and services.
