Keep Your Eye on the Goal 11 www.businessmarketingmag.com *It gives direction, traction, and momentum to your selling - in the individual sale, throughout this day, week, month, and ultimately this season. *It allows you to set the rules. For example, when you ask a good question like, “When do you think most people get this done – before or after they have a problem?” (after) “You’re right…but you’re smarter than that, aren’t you?!

All that is truly remaining in the sales process is to get them to agree they can afford your offer. Then if they try to go back on their agreement to let you help them get it, you can gently and agreeably remind them they said they’d do it if the price was affordable, and that they indeed agreed the price was afford X
