4 things NEVER to say in a sales call:
1️⃣ “Let me know if you’re interested…”
You’re rarely gonna hear back. Instead pop the question: “Are you ready to get started?”
2️⃣ “There are so many options - which do you want?”
Too many options = no sale. Instead, be their guide and make a recommendation based on what is truly a good fit for their needs.
3️⃣ “Hey just following up…”
Try this instead: “Hey NAME, I just had time to get back to you.”
4️⃣”Sure the price is…” (too soon)
Providing price before value creates an uphill climb. Try: “I need to know more about your X first. Can I ask you a few questions?”
👉 If you struggle with sales, you’ll struggle in business.
Which is why it’s 1 of the top skills I help clients master.
