President's Club-World Class Strategies for Eliminating/Overcoming "TIO"
Add to Calendar 01/18/2019 8:00 am 01/18/2019 9:30 am President's Club-World Class Strategies for Eliminating/Overcoming "TIO" “TIO” stands for every version of “I want to Think It Over,” AKA… “Let me sleep on it,” - “I’ll get back to you,” - “Let me check my finances,” etc. If you’ve been in sales for more than thirty minutes, you’ve heard this from a buyer. Allowing a prospect or client to procrastinate after a sales proposal has been prepared, presented, and discussed is not doing anyone a favor. In fact, it is the No. 1 reason for failing to close a sale. Your professional responsibility is to help people avoid procrastination and proceed to help them in making a decision in their own best interest. If you allow a prospect to think it over, you'll be the only one thinking about it! 6660 Doubletree Ave. Columbus, OH 43229 mcaruso@sandler.com MM/DD/YYYY
