Did You Quit Calling On Them Too Soon ?

by Mike Sigers

Death of a Salesman

” That’s the last time I call on those losers ! “

That’s what a salesman I was training told me as he came out of a potential client’s office.

” They’re just stupid losers that are too stupid to sell ! “

Ever feel that way ? Me too. But I don’t let it last as long as this guy did.

I’m still selling. He’s gone. Like the wind.

Whenever I get that feeling, I remember these figures I read and wrote down :

80% of all sales are made after the fifth call on a prospect.

48% of sales people make one call and quit.

25% make two calls before quitting.

12% make three calls before they quit.

10% keep calling … and make 80% of the sales !
