How to close more sales? Leave your office! I had a saying once; I looked all over my office and couldn't find a single prospect. It is pretty painless to make more sales, you just need to network! You're far more likely find a potential customer through a friend or networking event than through cold calling. If closing a sale is what you want, make more friends and contacts. Meet people to expand your pool of potential prospects and people who may know potential prospects and customers, and you are not going to do that by sitting in your office. Hereis a list of places and things you can do to expand your friend list.
1) Take a class, or a workshop…you will improve and meet other who are like you.
2) Join a trade or professional association…even better if it is your customers.
3) Volunteer somewhere… you will meet excellent people, and you will be one of them.
4) Chamber of Commerce event… it is the best local networking you can get.
5) Go to Happy Hour…At a different Bar than you normally do
6) Go to sporting events… does not matter of its Pros or minors be ready to network
7) Spend 70% of your time talking to people you do not know.
These helpful tips should help you expand your friend and thus expand your client pool. Think about how many friends you have made cold calling. Humans or predictable we do the same things and have small groups of friends, the only way to meet new people is by doing new things. Closing a sale is the end game; you need to network first by having a pitch, dedicating some time to go to different events, and a plan of what you want to accomplish.
