The Importance of Prospecting and Diagnosing

A good salesperson focuses on consistent prospecting and diagnosing the needs of potential customers. Prospecting involves reaching out to decision-makers in the target market and identifying potential problems that can be solved. By asking questions and engaging in conversation, a salesperson can determine if their product or service is the right fit. Instead of convincing customers, the goal is to disqualify or rule out alternative solutions until what remains is the opportunity for a sale.
