  • in real life, only number 4 and 5 works, the rest are all bullshit everything else shoulb be an assumptive close.

  • this is completely a BOGUS sales advice. Your “preclose” is- find out the decision process and the budget. use problems you’ve uncovered to move the sale forward. Its not your problem, its the customers problem. make them own it make them do something about it. you give the prospect all power and control by asking him “are their any other concern from making us not work together?” that will win you a trip out the door! haha

  • Well what you are talking about is a close not a preclose. a pre close is like qualifying kind of. And reassuring they are on the same page and ready to move ahead

  • Thank you for making my point for me. You called the video rudimentary. From my dictionary, “rudiment: a first principle, as of a subject to be learned.”

    A handshake is rudimentary. A smile is rudimentary. Listening is rudimentary. Following up is rudimentary. Learning product knowledge is rudimentary. COMBINED, several rudimentary skills can form a master salesman.

  • …completely irrelevant to my previous comment. If your hoping to be a good seller I’d suggest you focus your words more attentively on driving home a point, rather than flying off the handle at sarcasm. Your choice of words show a lack of conviction in your txt and your assumption that a person’s online name is a real name would likely offend a business client (you got the first name right, i’ll give you that). All I’m saying is that this video is rudimentary and basic,
    sorry,
    Mr. Trainee

  • I’m training under a master salesman who makes $200k selling cable tv door to door. He makes it look SO easy, but it is not. Usually he’s made or lost the sale in about three minutes or so. Every word and mannerism is perfectly chosen, body language and eye contact are engaging and flawless, & he seeks out objections to overcome, just as this video suggests. Of course it looks easy, just as NFL QB’s make it look easy to throw three touchdowns per game.

    CAN YOU DO IT, DENNIS FAUCHEZ?

    Not!

  • At all relevant times they either knew or they reasonably
    should have known, that the acts, actions and failure to
    act of its managers, supervisors and agents would and
    did proximity result in mental physical and emotional
    injury to me including pain suffering and depression and mental anguish.

  • Oh boy, the great secret to find out what concerns the prospect has is…

    drum roll please…

    ask them what their concerns are…

    Brilliant, haha why didn’t every other person who has ever sold anything think of that… hmmm… ponderous.

  • lmao what went wong ! haha great advice tho !

    Comment by mcjd06 — February 10, 2010 @ 2:09 am

  • Really good advice.

    I’d simply suggest that an open ended question will get the most honest response. So, instead of saying “are there any concerns that may stop us from working together”, you should say “what is the greatest concern you have about us working together”. This makes them think about their answer more, instead of saying a knee jerk “no”.

    Other than that spot on :)
