Sales is a numbers game. It’s all about optimizing conversion rates at different points in the buyer’s journey. Get the couple to inquire. Then to respond to your inquiry. Then to like you on the discovery call, read your proposal, and finally send in a contract and deposit.
You’ll guide a potential buyer through dozens of micro-commitments throughout the sales process. Unless you blow it. Unless you make it hard for them to move forward. Unless you scare them from making the next step.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about on today’s episode of Own Your Business, where I’m diving into sales tactics that might work some of the time, but often backfire and blow up the potential for a couple to book your services.
I talk about:
– Scarcity, that double-edge sword that kills more deals than it converts
– The fine line between prequalifying and over-qualifying
– Why too many pros confuse elusive with exclusive
– What item on your email signature is costing you thousands in lost sales
