Rejection is Best Served Cold
Most people let the nervousness of the word “no” or the fear of rejection cloud their judgment. This results in mis educated prospects.

You also believe that your product or service will greatly impact the life of your prospect then delivering a good sales call is pertinent.

- Think of a story that solved a problem. – The next step in the pre call sales call process is a crucial one as well.

The objective is to set an appoitment or engagement that will lead to the prospect having all the information to make an educated decision. Be sure to always set the next engagement until the prospect can see the value in the product/service to close themselves on the necessity of the purchase.
