Sales Tip of the Day: DON’T GIVE UP

Statistics reveal that, on average, 80% of sales are made after the fourth call on a prospect.

Funny thing is, approximately 75% of salespeople stop calling the prospect after three attempts. Which is sad, because they are missing a ton of business that is only one more contact away.

In the world of selling, you simply cannot afford to throw in the towel too soon. You have to remain persistent, positive, and persuasive until you get the sale. If you don’t, your competition may earn the sale that should have been yours.

The message is clear: don’t give up!

Remain consistent and steadfast in your efforts, because you never know when those efforts will pay off.
