Today’s episode might make you cringe… It could also positively change the way you sell forever though.. Why? Because it holds up a mirror up to how you sell. ..and if you are making any of these 3 mistakes you’ll start to think back about all the times when you made any of these mistakes. (and the sales it likely cost you..) If you haven’t however, then you’ll probably feel pretty good about yourself.

One of the biggest concerns business owners have is the time it takes for a sale to convert from the initial conversation with a client to when they actually buy. Especially when you consider that… 80% of phone calls go unanswered..ouch ! Around 70% of people don’t check voice mail…yeah not good! And don’t even get me started on email open rates ! And the longer a potential client takes to buy, the less likely the sale will convert. Thankfully there’s a fix for this Many business owners don’t realise there ARE 3 ways you can speed the process up. Which means you make more sales faster. And if you make more sales faster your monthly sales will increase which means your quarterly and and annual sales will increase also. nice!

If you want to make sure the people you make an offer to are most likely to convert into a client (and are worth your time talking to and following up) this will be a super important episode for you.
