How to Take Control of a Sales Meeting Within First 3 Minutes ? Taking control of a sales meeting from the get-go is crucial because it sets the tone for the entire interaction. It allows you to guide the conversation in a way that highlights the value of your product or service, addresses customer concerns, and ultimately increases the likelihood of closing the sale. 5 top reasons why salespeople fail to take control of a sales meeting: ⬇️ 1. Lack of Preparation: When salespeople are not adequately prepared for the meeting, they may struggle to steer the conversation in the desired direction. 2. Fear of Rejection: Salespeople who fear rejection may avoid taking control of the conversation, as they might perceive it as confrontational or risky. 3. Poor Communication Skills: Salespeople who lack strong communication skills may struggle to assert themselves and guide the conversation effectively. 4. Over-Focus on Product: Sometimes, salespeople become overly focused on presenting their product or service, neglecting to lead the conversation in a way that addresses the customer's needs and concerns. 5. Inability to Read Signals: Salespeople who are unable to read the customer's signals and adjust their approach accordingly may find it challenging to take control of the conversation. ⬇️Here is how to take control within first 3 Minutes ⬇️ Within the first 3 minutes, touch on these crucial points: (PTAO) 🔸Purpose: Clearly state why you’re there. 🔸Time: Set expectations for the call duration. 🔸Agenda: Outline what you’ll cover during the conversation and 🔸Outcome: Express the desired outcome (e.g., scheduling a follow-up, addressing specific pain points) You can use or customize this simple script : 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘔𝘳.
