Sometimes our inner competitor gets the best of us!
We’re so busy trying to meet a prospect’s requirements that;
We miss the fact that they’ve fallen short on ours!
That’s why you have to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt;
What’s Out Of Bounds?
Sometimes the scope of work ISN’T going to be a good fit.
Perhaps their expectations aren’t reasonable?
Unwilling to abide by your company’s terms, payment policies, etc. I mean, sh*t, you’re allowed to have requirements too, right?
Maybe they create a tremendous amount of unnecessary work for you and your team.
Sometimes it just isn’t worth it financially.
Cultural fit?
Uncooperative and difficult?
Maybe you’re dealing with a real dick?
Let’s Be Clear About Something . . .
This ISN’T an excuse to get rid of of a prospect every time we get our wittle feelings hurt. Seriously, if you have a thin skin, get out of sales!
It’s simply a reminder that;
Prospects judge you and you get to judge back!
And crappy courtships typically lead to crappier marriages so cut your losses early.
Assignment: Spend some quiet thinking time defining what’s “Out of bounds for you and your company”.
Set it aside and then revisit the question a day or two later. Just make sure your ego doesn’t influence your answer 🙂
