The 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make in Selling

Learn valuable techniques to avoid common mistakes made by salespeople in order to ensure sustained success.

Continue to make common and yet avoidable sales mistakes and it is only a matter of time before your competitors take your business and you lose market share. The world is changing but certain truths have not or will ever change and they are 1) people buy from organizations and people they trust; 2) the answer to sustained success is not technology but maintaining relationships with customers; 3) without a proven sales process you will never maintain consistent positive results; 4) if you fail to control the sale process you will waste time, resources, and effort; 5) if you don't keep getting better and smarter, sooner or later you will fail. Learn proven techniques, strategies, and approaches to avoid the common mistakes many salespeople make and how to develop and apply proven actions and steps to ensure sustained success.
