The One Sales Test You are Guaranteed to Fail!
World class sales professionals can answer and act on these three questions. Can you give the best answer possible? 1. Who are you REALLY competing with? (no it’s not yourself, good guess, though) 2. What is the No. 1 PROBLEM encountered by anyone who sells anything? (solve this one and you attain selling nirvana) 3. What is your RESPONSIBILITY on a sales call? (Hint: Whether it’s face-to-face or on phone calls, the answer has to be correct 100 percent of the time.)
