Scenario 1
Bill is the only salesperson in the store and you are on the phone (not a personal call). A customer walks in the door. You have about 3-4 minutes to finish conversation. What do you do?
Scenario 2
You are the only salesperson in the store and you are already working with a customer when another customer walks in the store. How do you acknowledge the 2nd customer without leaving the first?
Scenario 2 – Continued
Continuation from the 2nd scenario…
You have been working with the first customer for 2-3 minutes when you see the 2nd customer leave. What could you have done differently to save the 2nd customer? What can you do now?
Sales research has shown that over 90% of the sales process is based on having a good rapport with the prospect.
