Struggle with Closing More Deals?

The real reason sales people struggle to close more deals . . . .

I hear weekly from sales people that they need help in doing a better job closing deals and my first question to them is how did they start the conversation?  Did they do every step of a thorough sales process that we have talked about?  or Did they take short cuts hoping that they could close faster?

I came across this article by Bob Apollo and he nails it on the head for what I consult, train and coach sales reps around this topic.  Take a moment to read this article and ask yourself, are you slowing down enough to speed up the sale?
