The “Million Dollar Sales Question” And Why You Should Ask It Repeatedly!

Posted August 24, 2019

You can have a kick ass, award winning plan, but;

If you allow interruptions, time wasters, and things that pull you away from the plan;

Well, that’s about as good as having a crappy plan, no?

That’s why you might want to use a question that provides a bit of a reality check.

I call it “The Million Dollar Question” because I believe its worth at least a million dollars to you over the course of your career.

Here it is;

Several times a day, ask yourself;

Is what I’m doing, right now, THE best way to get a new account, retain or WOW an existing account, or GROW an account?

Those three things are the things that drive our success as sales professionals, so;

If the answer to that question is “Hell Yes!” then by all means, keep doing what you’re doing, but;

If the answer is “DOH!” then get back on track ASAP, because;

You’re going to need EVERY SECOND so you can finish the year strong, and;

You do understand that you need to begin NOW if you want to finish 2019 strong, right?

Are You Selling As Much As You’d Like To?

So here we are again, rapidly approaching year end.  

For those of us in sales, that means a final push in order to finish the year STRONG!  

If only it were that simple!  

Between now and year end, there are a few obstacles you’re going to have to navigate.  

You have several holidays like Election Day, Veteran’s Day.  

Time Out: Even though most US businesses won’t be closed those days, kids are off from school and that means parents will be taking off of work.  

You have Thanksgiving which is really more than a 4 day weekend. People tend to “mentally check out” before and after which might cost you a week

And then you have;  

A serious slow down (for many businesses) between Thanksgiving and January 1st.  

Buyers are going to “mentally check out” and forgive me for suggesting this, but you might be inclined to as well.  

Add those things up, and you really DON’T have as much time as you would think to make it happen.  

So what do you do about it? Well;

I Have A Plan For You! 

I created a plan for you that includes; 

  • How to completely leverage the Fall/Holiday season to YOUR advantage.
