Recovering from a Bad Sales Meeting
I had a meeting tonight that didn't go as well as I wanted.
The meeting was with a restaurant. They asked me to come talk to the manager at 6pm on a Thursday.
The place was crowded and the loud music completely distracted me. The manager seemed too busy to talk but we continued with the meeting. I drove about an hour to get there so I didn't want to turn around without talking to him.
It didn't go terrible. But it could have went a lot better.. I left the meeting realizing that I need to prevent situations like this in the future or ask the manager to talk to me at a better time. So at least I learned something. But looking forward, the only thing that I can try to do is move forward and close them.
So when you have an average or poor meeting with a prospect that can still be closed then how do you bounce back? Just continue following up as normal?
I plan to follow-up soon with more information to help generate some more open dialogue. That's the only thing that I can think of at the moment.

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
