So do you find that you get to the end of a sales appointment and you don't know how to close the sale, ask for the sale and you basically walk away from the sale, making a friend, rather than a sale? Yes, I've done that too!
In this episode, I'm going to take you through how to position the sales appointment at the start to help you lead your prospect to make a decision and to make it far simpler for you to ask for the sale.
This will be helpful for anyone that needs to make sales, but in particular, those that are selling a service.

Ep 17 - Focus on Percentage Growth (Not Awards)
Maybe a little bit of a different thought than what you would normally hear, but I see so many Franchisees that set the goal to win an award, work hard, do everything right and then miss out on the award, leaving them to feel deflated, unmotivated and even like a failure! This is my thoughts on this and I hope they help you too!
