Why Use More Tie Downs and Trial Closes?

January 22, 2019 By Mike Brooks Leave a Comment

Why use more tie downs and trial closes

I don’t know why tie downs aren’t used more by sales reps selling over the phone. I was listening to an experienced rep the other day just pitch and ad-lib to a good prospect, and at the end of the call, she had no idea about the prospect’s level of interest, nor did she qualify the prospect. Tie downs (and trial closes) serve several important functions, including: Getting confirmation that the point you just made was understood and accepted by your prospect. This is especially important … [Read more...]

Just Email Me Something

October 17, 2018 By Mike Brooks Leave a Comment

What do you say when you get this objection while prospecting? If you’re like many sales reps, you accept this stall and become a willing participant in the follow-up drama that ensues. And you know how frustrating that is. Let’s face it: This blow off is just a variation that prospects have been using for years. It used to be: “Can you send me something in the mail?” or “Just send me a brochure,” etc. Then email started and guess what? A new stall was born. So, what’s the best way of … [Read more...]

The Close is in the Follow-Up

August 8, 2018 By Mike Brooks Leave a Comment

As a homeowner, I‘m always having to fix something. Those of you who own homes know exactly what I mean. I’m in the habit of getting a variety of quotes for the big stuff, and it’s amazing how some companies/sales reps follow up on a sales quote (and so get the business), and others don’t. Here’s a recent example: My air conditioning coil went out (my existing heating and air company—we’ll call them Air Quiet—quoted me $2,500 to replace it), so I decided to have another company—we’ll call … [Read more...]

How To Quickly Attract The ‘Perfect’ Life Insurance Prospects To You Every Month!

Let's face it, the 'Old Style Sales Techniques' that have been taught for the past 50 years or more have completely lost their effectiveness. People today are too smart to fall for all those sales mind games and gimmicks. Sales occur 98% of the time because the prospect has developed some respect and trust for the insurance agent. That type of relationship is born from having real conversations with people. Today, you must learn to ask the RIGHT questions to get your insurance prospects to … [Read more...]

The Missing Ingredient to Top Performance in Sales

March 16, 2018 By Mike Brooks Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered why some people excel in sales, while others don’t? Have you ever questioned – if most other things are equal, like if you all have access to the same leads, the same sales training, the same number of hours in the day, etc. – why are there always top producers who hit or exceed their goals, while the rest of the team members struggle in varying degrees? How about yourself? Are you a top producer at your company? If you aren’t, then have you ever wondered what is … [Read more...]
