When selling there are basic questions that every sales person should ask, or already know the answer to:


  1. What do you really want or need?
  2. What goals and/or objectives are you trying to achieve?
  3. What problems need resolution?
  4. What other obstacles have stopped you from achieving your goal?

Going Back To Basics

It is that time of the year again, when goals are made, and reflections to the year past are absorbed.  It is time to business plan for the coming year, and I have come across some of the tried and true basics for business planning.  They are found below:

1). Get an accountability partner.

Plan a 5 minute call for every day to see where each other are, and to see if each other did what the other said that they were going to do.   Ask, "What are you going to do today?"

2). Know your market and master your domain.

3). Focus on the top.

"Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll land in the stars."

4). It is YOUR job to ensure that YOUR clients do not forget you.
