13. 13
Symptoms of Reluctance
You always see
the worst case
scenario. You
won’t take risks
and you spend a
lot of time
protecting
yourself against
fictional danger.
(FEAR = “False
Events Appearing
Real”)
You are in a
constant state of
preparation. You
spend a huge
amount of time
getting ready and
end up sacrificing
sales
opportunities in
the name of
preparation
You avoid group
selling
situations. You
are afraid to
speak in public
or sell in front
of a group.
You are
secretly
ashamed to
be in sales.
You prefer
to think of
yourself as
an “Agent”

14. 14
Symptoms of Reluctance
You’re
intimidated by
people you
consider better
than you. You
are intimidated
by those with
wealth or better
education, so
you avoid selling
to these people.
You avoid
doing
business with
your friends
because you
believe that
friendship and
business
should never
be mixed.
.
You are
always
yielding to
other people.
You are afraid
of imposing
on others. You
don’t want to
push and you
are worried
that you’re
always
interrupting a
prospect

15. 15
Symptoms of Reluctance
You avoid doing
business with
your family.
You don’t ask for
referrals. Or you
are constantly
waiting for a
better time to
ask… which never
comes.
You are afraid of
using the telephone
as a prospecting
tool. You hate making
cold calls and avoid
the phone like the
plague.
Difficult to Train
and Coach.
Become
defensive and
start justifying

Interesting story
“Son,” said the Sales Manager, “let me give
you a piece of advice: your job is not to
make him drink. It’s to make him thirsty.”
Young Salesperson had lost an important sale.
He was very upset.
When speaking about this with his Sales
Manager, the young sales person shrugged. “I
guess,” he said “it just proves that you can lead
a horse to the water, but you can not make him
drink.”

Reactance Skepticism

The Process itself-

prospects,
• Ask for
appointment,
• Objections,
• Negotiation,
• Rejections
• Will this prospect buy
from me?
• Is it worth calling this
lead?
• Will he take at this
price?
• Will it happen now?
• Why should I make new efforts,
• Looking for a easy way

Shift your mindset
from 'making the sale' to
whether the fit exists or
not. Do not force or
persuade.
Be a helper
not a pitcher. Help
your prospect, instead
of referring to
features and benefits .
Stop chasing prospects
behave with dignity. Create an
open pressure-free atmosphere -
set a tone of equality and mutual
respect
Connect with your prospects
rather than work through
a list. Focus on how to
make a true connection
with each prospect
Change your language
away from 'sales speak' to
natural language that
connects with people.
Focus on the beginning
not the end. Be sensitive to the
early interaction with your
prospect
Important Cold Calling Techniques

There are 3 kinds of people
