How qualified are the opportunities in your pipeline?
Our experience with over 35,000 sales professionals all over the world—in large, medium, and small-sized companies—has revealed three predictable behaviors that most salespeople experience:
First is their reluctance to stop pursuing weak opportunities because they’re afraid they won’t hit their quota.
Next is their apparent rush to close the deal without taking the time to really understand their client’s needs.
Finally, the third behavior is the salesperson’s inability to handle objections and pushbacks effectively.
The results are often over-investing in the wrong people and opportunities, under-investing in the right opportunities, and leaving money on the table by failing to uncover the business issues their clients are really striving for.
The good news is, these behaviors can be replaced with new and effective behaviors
