Ever wondered why some people make selling look so easy – while every month most of us have to make call after call, getting increasingly frustrated by having to rely on a 'hit and miss' approach to get the appointments and sales we need? Having to keep going through the daily grind of making loads of calls, and feeling as though you’re just not getting anywhere can be soul-destroying.

Some people who work in sales think that if you’re struggling to get the results you need, it’s simply because you’re not putting enough effort in. Too many times I’ve heard people say “If you’re not making enough sales, then you just need to make more calls, get more appointments and then make more sales.”

Well, I don’t know how you feel when you hear that little pearl of wisdom, but to me the thought of having to make even more calls just leaves me feeling demoralised and exhausted. After all, there are only so many calls you can make in a day!

If you’re making as many calls as you can but you’re still not getting the results your efforts deserve, then it may be time to consider taking a new approach to selling. After all, wouldn’t you rather make less calls but get more appointments and sales? I'm sure we all would.

In The 14 Years I’ve Been Training Salespeople, I’ve Discovered The Simple Truth About What It Takes To Make Selling A Predictable, Enjoyable And Stress-Free experience:

Instead of trying to SELL to your prospects, change your approach so you can focus on making your prospects want to BUY from you.

In my very first job, I had to make cold calls to get appointments for the sales consultants I worked alongside. I put my heart and soul into telling every prospect I spoke to how great our service was, how it could make their lives so much easier and save them time and money.

But the harder I tried to convince them of this, the less success I had.

I was confused and frustrated, because I couldn't understand why so many of my prospects seemed to be so quick to dismiss what I had to say.

After a lot of head-scratching, I eventually realised that I should spend less time trying to sell the benefits of the service itself, and focus my efforts on just selling the benefits of arranging an appointment to the prospect instead. After this my results changed dramatically.

It's Easy To Fall Into The Trap Of Thinking More About The Sale Than We Think About The Prospect

Sometimes we can be so focused on trying to get the sale that we unconsciously send out the wrong signals to our prospects, which in turn makes them hesitate or feel pressured into making a quick decision. And usually if they start to feel like this, their answer is probably going to be either 'let me think about it' or, if they're feeling really brave and honest, 'no thanks'.

So how can you change this? By changing your approach so you focus on working logically through each stage of your sales process, rather than quietly stressing about actually making the sale. Taking this approach, and combining it with making sure you position yourself and your company as experts in your industry, will make your prospect relax and regard you as someone who's focused on helping them, rather than just selling to them.

Moving your prospect through a simple, tried-and-tested sales process that puts the emphasis on helping them to make an informed buying decision will have a massive effect on your sales results.

Now, imagine that you’re sitting at your desk first thing in the morning, and you can’t wait to get on the phone. You feel excited about calling your prospects because you know they want to hear what you have to offer. You’re making fewer calls each day, but you’re effortlessly making more appointments. You’re really enjoying being on the phone and you’re bursting with confidence.

In fact, you’ve become an unstoppable selling machine!
