NOTE: Your preparation to close the sales is directly correlated to you actually closing the sale, follow this pre-call routine and watch your closing rate skyrocket.
Identifying the prospect
- Research the prospect (Google search them and their company)
- Reviewing their application
- Identify their buyer persona using the info provided (website, revenue, goals, problems, etc)
Get into the right mindset
- Release any emotions from the day, and put all your focus on the call and the prospect.
- Be an expert, not a salesman.
- Qualify them, not to them - You’re choosing as well as they are buying.
- The prospect has the problem, you have the solution. They booked a time to talk with you and hear from you.
- Your job is to lead them to make a great decision.
- I like myself.
- I am complete and abundant within myself. I AM ABUNDANT IN EVERYTHING. (3 things you’re grateful for)
- Come out of a place of mission and conviction, rather than commission.
- When I close I change and save their life. (Imagine the story and feeling after they call you and say that you changed their life)
- They can/will do whatever it takes if they really want it.
- Be present in the conversation, listen to understand.
- Stop focusing on closing, focus on diagnosing. Remember, you are like a doctor, diagnosing an issue before prescribing a solution.
