Does this sound familiar?
You are good at what you do, but for some reason, your sales are not where you want them to be. You’re working hard; however, you haven’t reached the goals you set for yourself. You are busy one month, but nothing is coming in the door the next.
As a Small Business Owner, you likely have a business plan with goals embedded. Some goals require you to become a salesperson. Salespeople have a unique skill set that help them build relationships with customers and persuade them to purchase their product or service. Skills like prospecting, client communication, building rapport, negotiating, and listening skills are critical in achieving sales goals.
