The Most Powerful Sales Call You Can Make

Ok, let’s say that you have created a customer, you’ve actually sold something, and you have some money in the bank.

Before you become too enraptured with yourself, let me remind that you are not finished.

There is a greater goal, and a larger and more encompassing strategy into which this transaction fits. If you focus all of your time and energy on creating sales, you will, unfortunately, miss the mark.

In a very fundamental sense, in face-to-face, one-on-one selling, the ultimate goal is something larger and more significant than the sale itself. It is the creation of a positive business relationship, because the relationship supersedes the transaction and makes all future transactions much easier and more profitable.

What one thing would grow your confidence, enhance your results, and make you more valuable in the eyes of your bosses?

Gaining mastery of the hardest thing for a B2B salesperson to do – make a live, in-person visit to someone who doesn’t know you or your company.

Few B2B salespeople have been trained in the best ways to do it. And so they avoid it. Salespeople become disheartened and sales managers grow frustrated

I can fix that. On February 13, at 12:00 noon (Eastern) I’ll present a one-hour webinar on the best way to prepare and execute a first call on a prospect.

I’ll take you through the mindset you need to be successful, the one key objective for every first call, and how to overcome distorted expectations.

Then, I’ll identify the three key pieces of a well-executed first call, and show you how to prepare for each. You’ll be ready to go. Confident and prepared.

In this 60-minute session, you’ll:

Identify the key objective for a first call
See why a first call seems so overwhelming.
Gain an understanding of the three key components to a first call.
Become equipped to thoroughly prepare for each of the three key components.

This may be the only opportunity in your life to gain mastery of something that causes most salespeople to stumble. Separate yourself from your competition. You’ll use the concepts and processes shared in this webinar for the rest of your career.

You owe it yourself to participate.

For example, if you have a great experience with the place from which you bought your TV, you are much more likely to go back there again. The next time, you are inclined to buy from them, less likely to price shop, and more likely to be less critical and demanding. You may even tell your friends about that place.

From the seller’s point of view, he has succeeded in creating a relationship with you such that you are favorably inclined to come back, buy again, and refer your friends. The second sale is so much easier than the first, because now you are less risk to the buyer. That’s the net result of a positive business relationship.

And the ultimate positive business relationship is something I call a “Partner.” A partner is someone who trusts you, believes you consistently bring value to him, sees you and your company as an integral part of his business, and buys almost everything he can from you.

The Loss of Discipline and the Opportunity for You

In recent years, I’ve seen a deeper degradation in the learning potential of the work force fueled by a growing inability to concentrate. I’m afraid that much of the adult population in this country has become so conditioned to sound bytes, texts and tweets that they have lost the discipline to “do the work.” Like an unused muscle, their ability to concentrate has atrophied. On one hand, that is alarming. On the other, it is a tremendous opportunity for you.
