Have you ever given up on a prospect too soon? A common mistake salespeople make is using the “Three and Out” approach. After three unsuccessful follow-up attempts, many salespeople mark them off as “not-qualified”.

But what if we told you that only 10% of all salespeople make more than three attempts to connect with their prospects, but 80% of sales are made between the fifth and twelfth attempt and contact? That’s a lot of missed opportunities!

Stand out from the competition by nurturing your prospect accounts with a consistent and persistent problem-solving approach.

Session Goals:

To help each attendee leave with a plan and a system that will help them to target, connect and close new and better business more effectively.
To increase top-line revenues and profits.
To have fun learning!

We are encouraging you to bring your boss – we are offering them the member rate to join us to check out the quality education HSMAI has to offer members.
