this.

AssessmentNot assertive in making recommendations or asking for the business.No response to “let me think it over”Engages in excessive amounts of visiting or chit-chat

Goes off on irrelevant, ‘rapport-building’ and time-consuming tangents.Appears excessively friendly or folksy so as not to sound push or close-orientedDoes not take control of the call Does not have pattern interrupts planned out when they are prospecting.

Admission

Inner Dialogue Change

I am frustrated because I am not meeting my goals.CHANGE TO: I am experiencing frustration in this moment, however, frustration is NOT who I am.

I am afraid to ask for the sale.

CHANGE TO: I am experiencing fear when it comes to asking for the sale. However, fear is not who I am.

1. Answer this ?: What is your current mindset about your ability to close business? Is it serving you or not serving you? What can you do to learn about creating a more open/learner mindset? What is your process? If you don’t have one or are not following one, I beg you to do something about this.

Summary

3. Admit to yourself and your manager/trainer where you are yielding in your prospecting activity and your selling activity? Role-play those specific areas.4. Monitor your inner dialogue of what you are saying after the words “I am” – if the words are negative – shift to “I am experiencing…”

5. Do the power stance with hands on hips 60 seconds a day.
