Inadvertently, we tend to apply pressure on our prospects as we’re focused on our own needs, priorities and timelines. We must always put the client first, and do so via discovery of the decision making process.
How does this show up within our opportunities?
* Opportunity lacks urgency
* The close date is dictated by our timeline
* Contact is easily stalled, doesn’t do as committed
What can I do to prevent this from happening?
* Clarify sense of urgency
* Mutually agreed upon close date
* Avoid deals stalling, pushed or ultimately lost
