Added for You - Prospecting for New Business: Selling at Its Finest
Meet the new boss -- you.If you're like most of us, you hate your boss even if they're a nice person. At heart we're still rebellious kids with "oppositional defiant disorder" who don't want any surrogate mothers or fathers.And just as most people do eventually become mothers and fathers of their own children, to get rich as a techie you must get over your own rebelliousness and learn to at least be open to becoming the boss over other people.I know it can be hard.

The problem? The successor: Steve and Ellen?s son, Stevie.His attitude, now that his sisters had moved away, an
So if prospecting can be so much fun, why don’t salespeople these days do more of it? Why are so many of even veteran salespeople so firmly stuck in an existing customer rut?
I believe the answer is partly because the effort to professionally prospect for new business is darn difficult and time consuming and partly because too many salespeople are content with their current income levels.
But I believe that there is another reason: Sales managers don’t require their sales forces to prospect. I believe a certain amount of prospecting should be a condition of employment for every sales force.

You want your registration forms connected with your merchant account, which is connected to your database, which has easy reporting capabilities. This is extremely important because the system you are using may be only partially automated.For instance, your system might take online registrations that are then emailed to you, but never put in a database. So, you still have to manually key in the registrant's information and build your database by hand. In other cases, you may have to manually process payments. Or, your system might capture a registrant's information and put it into a d

BENEFITS OF PROSPECTING
1. Market intelligence: There’s no better way to find out the intimate details of competitors’ service levels than to call on your competitors’ customers.
So on every prospect call ask one or two key questions to find out how your company stacks up against the competition.
