How can I close more deals?

by Sam on February 2, 2010

One-Minute Answer: This question is not going to be answered this week. You see, great salespeople don’t close deals. They help their prospects do that. So the question should read, “How can I get prospects to close more deals?” (But were it stated that way, you might not have opened this email!)

 

In 1996 I co-authored a book entitled Close the Deal—again, a misnomer for what the 100,000 or so sales professionals who would read it needed to learn. That book was a collaboration with the highly acclaimed Sandler Sales Institute. I teamed with that group because of the intriguing and uncommon approach they took to sales training and development.

 

This week’s five-minute answer is inspired by just a few of the stimulating Sandler insights that were woven into Close the Deal. A few of my own prescriptions are in there, too. Find one that appeals to you.
