Advance the Stalled Sale: How to Get Stuck Deals Back on Track

Duration: 60 minutes

It comes with the territory. When you’re in sales, you’re going to hear lines like these all the time:

  1. "We're putting off the decision until next quarter" or
  2. “I need to run this decision by my boss” or 
  3. "I like your product, but just need a little more time to decide”

You're getting the "Stall" – where prospects take the easy way out and find excuses to put off a buying decision. In some cases, they really can’t buy now. But in many cases they are sending you a message, whether they know it or not, and your job is to figure out what that message is.

Wouldn’t it be great if you mastered a strategy that would challenge prospects to explain – not just to you but to THEMSELVES – what they mean when they say they can’t buy? It would change the rules of the game, wouldn’t it? It would combat the inertia that has immobilized buyers at so many companies.

That’s exactly the topic we’ll cover in this webinar. Speaker Paul Cherry will reveal a probing technique that will help prospects identify needs and create a sense of urgency to act.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants in this event will learn how to: 

  • Ask powerful probing questions to uncover the real buying motives and hidden agendas.
  • Use “lock-on” questions that turn “think-it-overs” into a yes or no response.
  • Qualify upfront the amount of time, money or resources a prospect or customer is willing to invest in your solution.
  • Uncover what your customer really values so you can sell at higher margins and outperform your competition.
  • Leverage the customer’s financial fears as the very reason why he must buy from you NOW.
  • Appeal to customers’ emotions to elicit a call to action.
  • Deal with buyers who use the economy as an excuse to get you to capitulate on their terms.
  • Avoid the trap of giving free consulting advice or expensive proposals to those who think nothing of wasting your time and resources.
  • Eliminate price-cutting as a strategy to win the sale.
