Here are a few questions to consider:
1. Are you failing to walk away from any business now you feel you should? Why?
2. Are you not walking away from some business for inconsistent reasons?
3. Do you have a walk-away philosophy or strategy?
4. Do you have a successful sales strategy that you use consistently to keep the sales process alive and well when the prospect or client forces you into a walk away position?
Keep in mind that selling is about making sales, not walking away from opportunities because you have too quickly made an emotional decision or judgment call based on the wrong reasons. I am not advising giving up too soon, not using creative sales appeals, or terminating the sales process because you may be over your head. I am, however, suggesting that you have a walk-away philosophy and strategy that you can use as a template when the value of current business or potential business is in question. If you want more information on this critical topic, attend my advanced sales seminar in Charlotte in September. You’ll learn more in two days about how to sell more than in any other seminar available today. I guarantee it!
