You have learned and practiced cold calls to prospects. You have thought about all the possible objections you might receive on actual sales appointments and role-played your responses. You and your sales team have brainstormed sales strategies to sell more (and sell more profitably), develop new accounts, and place more products in the market. Your prospects, however, won&#8217;t cooperate! They:<\/p>\n<p>Ask questions you do not expect and for which you are not prepared <\/p>\n<p>Give you answers you do not expect<br \/>\nHave ridiculous and unpredictable reasons why they don&#8217;t need your products or service<br \/>\nPut pressure on you by asking for prices and concessions you are not prepared to give<br \/>\nTell you (in a very nice way) that they are interested and you should call them &#8220;after the holidays.&#8221;<br \/>\nAssure you that they alone are the &#8220;ultimate decision-maker.&#8221;<br \/>\nSales can be a tough business. The prospects feel pressure to buy the right products at the right price. They don&#8217;t want to be fooled by &#8220;slick&#8221; salespeople. You, of course, want to make a sale and supply your prospect with something that will help them. So what happens when the unexpected happens? We become emotionally involved. We &#8220;panic&#8221;. We sometimes don&#8217;t know what to say and the result is often a brain dump (unpaid consulting), lower selling prices, or a lost sale.<\/p>\n<p>Improv Actors Have Figured It Out!<\/p>\n<p>They have learned to handle the unexpected in pressure situations &#8211; in front of an audience with their ego and career on the line.
