Description
Paul shares four ideas when going above or around your existing contacts. Show Notes: What is the greater risk, losing a sale, or losing a relationship? “Remember, your job is to sell, not just build relationships.” “Try asking the buyer for forgiveness, and then asking for their permission.” “If you have a strong relationship, then ask the buyer why they’re hesitant to introduce you to the ultimate decision-maker.” Coordinate a high-level schmooze. Have your high-level contact meet with their high-level contact. Those two high-level decision-makers speak the same language. If all else fails, offer a new decision for your prospect to make. Recommend a bigger solution that has a greater impact across multiple departments. Make it a big day! Click here to purchase the latest copy of Value-Added Selling!
