Watch Buyer Actions
- Observe buyer behavior, not just their words, to gauge deal strength.
- Look for actions like stakeholder involvement and follow-through on tasks.
Ask Hard Questions Early
- Ask tough questions early in the sales process to uncover objections.
- Addressing objections proactively prevents them from growing and derailing the deal later.
Teach Throughout the Process
- Teach your buyers throughout the sales process; they buy less often than you sell.
- Share your expertise on potential obstacles and objections to build trust and confidence.
