I had a major realization about FEAR in sales the other day, and was an eye-opening a-ha moment for me. What happened? I saw the most common of entrepreneurial fears in a whole new way…
Last week, I was teaching at a live event and sharing the finer points of The Pitch Queen System. I wound up in a conversation with a relationship coach, whose specialty was helping people decide whether or not to leave their relationships.
She told me that at the end of her sales conversations, she leaves the decision ALL up to her client. No pressure on the client. Sounds like an honorable enough thing, right?
But what if you’re doing your prospect a disservice by not helping them make a decision? And even worse, what if you’re holding back JUST because you’re afraid of being too pushy?
It’s that moment when you’re focusing so much on YOUR fears that you leave your prospect in a state of indecisiveness. What happens next?
The client doesn’t say YES or NO. Their problem remains unsolved. You miss out on a sale.
NOBODY wins.
That’s when fear of being too pushy turns into self-centeredness.
Kind of mind-blowing, right?
It’s just ONE more way that well-meaning entrepreneurs talk themselves out of the sale. And on this episode of Coffee Is For Closers, Master Strategist Shameca Tankerson and I talk about how focusing on your fear in sales winds up hurting EVERYONE. Your prospects, your business, and YOU.
