Creating A Million Dollar A Year Sales Income

Sales Success Through Client Referrals

Wiley, 2006 更多详情


Editorial Rating

Recommendation

The traditional cold-calling sales method is as difficult as it is familiar. Paul McCord has decades of experience helping salespeople succeed by working through qualified referrals rather than prospecting random strangers. His method gives you a better sales close rate and gets you fired up each day about selling. McCord writes concisely and makes his points simply. Each chapter ends with a workbook section that asks questions about your situation so you can track information that will help you implement the author’s sales method. One chapter even covers some of the objections he hears most in his sales training sessions. You can keep working hard all alone clearing stumps and moving rocks with your current approach, or move to more fertile ground where your best clients can make your life easier by helping you find new clients just like them. getAbstract recommends this book to any professional who needs to sell, with the caveat that you’ll need the sensitivity to know when you’ve asked someone for referrals too many times.

Take-Aways

  • The traditional cold-calling sales method discourages your sales team and limits their success.
  • While cold calls close less than 10% of the time, qualified referrals close 60% of the time.
  • Build an expectation of referrals into your sales process and you’ll get lots of them.
