HOW TO UPSELL?YOU PREDICTSALE FAILURELooking at the client accounts in your

CRM system you automatically say why each client will not buy from you.It will be a surprise if you sell anything at all because you spent the whole day thinking about why you will fail instead of calling your prospects and closing the deals.

YOU KNOWEVERYTHING

You can take a very quick look at a client account and say how to close the deal. Wow, your sales strategy is ready in a second!This is a dead end as your strategy must be tailored to each customer and you should be open minded to learn other sales techniques and strategies.

YOU HAVE NO TIME FOR PERSONAL LIFEWhen you started your career in sales

you worked 8 hours per day.

Over time your work time has increased to 10,12, or even 14 hours per day. This is a very bad sign and it will burn you out soon.

YOU ARE PITCHING TO EVERYONE

you prioritize and hide behind neverending small

improvements you will never make actions. It is much

easier to live in a fictional world of small

improvements, but without real actions you will never

sell anything.
