What’s the best sales tip you’ve ever received?

• Ryan Schade ABP – Always Be Prospecting! You can’t ABC (Always be Closing) if your pipeline is empty.
• Laurie O’Shea Don’t over promise and under deliver. People would prefer an honest answer over not getting what they anticipated.
• Danielle Lum Listen to the words they’re not saying to get to the source of the problem they need assistance with.
• Joe Robertson Ask people about themselves and what they do. They almost always reciprocate and return the question, opening the door for a “mini infomercial,” and an opportunity to sow seeds.
• Erich Campbell You have to out-care the other guy. Good salespeople learn early on that you have to be sincere and really take an interest in people to make loyal customers – you have to take the risk to actually care. Invest yourself fully into the conversation and really listen.
