The best sales people have created a system to consistently acquire appointments with prospects, and continually work to improve that
system.
All routine, sophisticated
work is most effectively accomplished by implementing a system. That’s one of the observations I’ve made in my 20+ years of experience in consulting. It doesn’t matter what area of work we are considering. For example, cleaning teeth, paving a road, painting a house, laying carpet, creating your income tax returns, etc. are all routine, sophisticated jobs that are best accomplished systematically.
The job of the
professional salesperson is crammed with such tasks – sophisticated tasks which need to be done over and over again. Making appointments is one such undertaking.
