When Prospects and Clients Try To Take Advantage Of Sales Reps During A World Crisis

Posted February 26, 2021

Some of you have been writing me to share situations where a client was trying to take advantage of the pandemic and;

Demand much lower prices/extended payment terms in a “take it or leave it” fashion!

What’s you’re plan for a situation like this?

Do you comply?

Do you hold your ground?

Do you offer a compromise?

It’s always good to define your “out of bounds” markers BEFORE the ball is in play!

Have you?

I think it might be worth discussing with your sales team.

Just to be clear;

I’m not talking about a prospect/client who’s hurting and needs your help;

I’m talking about a piece of sh*t who thinks its O.K. to take advantage of you during a world crisis!

Oh, and for those of you who have no choice but to comply with these unethical practices;

I would show these clients the door the second the pandemic is over!

Prospects and clients judge us;

We get to judge back!

Don’t ever forget that!
