"Why Not Every Person Can Be a Salesperson"
Click here to read it
Reasons #1 and 2 are a real kick in the teeth.
Low money tolerance (thinking $500 is a lot of money) and desperate need to be liked by prospects are killers of sales. The salesperson is afraid to ask for the money. The salesperson doesn't want to upset the prospect, so they refuse to ask the uncomfortable question that would really delve into the heart of the problem. The salesperson gives away tons of free stuff (demos, mockups, samples etc.) in effort to make the prospect like them.
"EEEERRRRRP!"
I want you to notice something about these top 2 reasons. They are NOT technical issues. They have nothing to do with the sales process, script, or fancy method. These reasons are CONCEPTUAL...what the person believes about themselves. Selling is a conceptual, not a technical, process.
Raising your money tolerance and discovering that you're not here to invite your prospects over for dinner and turn them into your best friends are not things you are going to change overnight. It's an ongoing process. Be aware of your current state for these two self-concept items--money tolerance and need for approval--and continue working on them. They're not the sort of thing you're going to suddenly change at a seminar. But they are vitally important.
