I promised to provide nineteen questions your sales people should be asking to qualify prospects. These questions are provided to me through our Gazelles partnership association with Objective Management Group. When I first started selling I recall being excited anytime I got someone who wanted to speak to me about my service. Radio sales was a tough business to start a sales career, and someone who would actually speak to you generated a lot of enthusiasm. As time evolved I recognized that my time was as valuable as my prospects and I learned that if I spent time with someone who wasn’t qualified it meant I had less time to invest in a good prospect. I can recall having a great debate with another coach, who was my mentor, over the value of qualifying for price. In his opinion you shouldn’t qualify for price at the outset because the prospect wouldn’t be able to appreciate the value our service provides until after we discovered their frustration. My view wasn’t it didn’t do any good to explain value if the prospect didn’t have enough money to pay for our services.
