Let’s talk a little about things you should be doing on the front end of your deals, so you can avoid things like;

Objections

Stalls

Playing a Defensive Game In A Competitive Sale

Loss of Momentum

A Price Obsessed Prospect

A Prospect “Ghosting” You

Losing An Opportunity

When was the last time you stepped back and thought about these things from a preventative perspective?

Sales Managers . . .

When was the last time you talked about these things during a sales meeting or one on one with your reps?

Here’s a really cool thinking/brainstorming question that will help.

Whenever you’re looking for answers, use the following fill in the blank question;

“In what ways can I _____________”

So if we want to think about things we should be doing on the front end of our deals to make for a better outcome, we can ask;

In what ways can I get in front of prospects who have a greater sense of urgency?

In what ways can I ask for access to ALL of the stakeholders without insulting my contact?

In what ways can I reduce the probability of getting objections?

In what ways can I reduce the probability of having the deal stalled?

In what ways can I set the rules of engagement instead of always having to play defense against my competitors?

In what ways can I keep the momentum going between meetings?

In what ways can I keep my prospect engaged between meetings?

And don’t forget that;

The “close” actually starts way BEFORE that moment when we ask for the business!

There are actually lots of questions we should be asking ourselves in order to ensure a smoother sale and;
