The customer who has just bought is also in a buying mood, and has his wallet, credit cardor cash out. While he/she is there, there isa good chance they will be open to another purchase from you, as they already trustedyou once. Here is a story of a backend sale I once hadwhich illustrates how it can work for you.I had a customer purchase a membership toa safelist I was running, but he then decidedthat it didn't work for him. He requested hismoney back, which I happily supplied, but addedto the end of the email that he may like to trya different way of advertising, and I was an affiliate for a company which could offer himan alternative. I received an affiliate paymentfor 50% of a $60 sale, on the back of returningthe $5 membership fee. Now that was good enough for me to realise thevalue in the backend sale.

We've also noticed that while the goals being set are good, the results aren't. Around 90% of those in Direct Sales do SET goals, but never reach them. Do You Know the Emotion Behind the Objection? Prospects have many reasons (you might think excuses) for not buying your product or service. Many of these objections, however, are actually emotional defenses, and before you can overcome the obstacle you must recognize the emotion behind it.

As a professional sales representative you should focus on what makes you different because the similarities will take care of themselves.

Taking control of the circumstances and situations around you will develop your self-confidence. When you consider the amount of rejection that many sales people encounter, the fact that many salespeople lack self-confidence is not surprising. Top performing people in any industry typically possess a high level of self-confidence. They may not necessarily possess this confidence all their lives.

If only it was as easy as "filling a funnel" and having sales fall through the other end. I can make 200 calls a day, but who are they to and what am I doing?
