But it’s even better if you convey the goal of the call, and get it mutually agreed. No one likes to be in the dark, as to where the conversation is heading. A proper mutually agreed path or goal helps both parties to be on track. And yes, always try to schedule the next call at the end of a call. If you can set a goal for that, even better. Listen to the Prospects, or Dig about them Always take some time to dig deep into the details of a prospect. What industry he operates in, what’s his team size and stuffs like that. If you get an objection, analyze those carefully. It’s very important to understand their root causes. This will most likely lead you straight to the pain points of a prospect. It’s like GOLD! Be Clear about Pricing When it comes to money, everybody likes clarity. From as early as possible, you should always convey what your prices are. This will save both parties a lot of time & effort. Also a clear pricing without any hidden costs helps you gain trust in the eye of a prospect. It matters!
