Qualifying Your Potential Clients

One of the most important aspects of sales is time. You have to make sure that you are using your time wisely because often sales are lost on bad prospecting. Not only are sales lost, but also you can lose confidence in yourself. Many salesman lose their potential wasting time on people that are going nowhere instead of adding more prospects to your pool. It is necessary that you follow up on scheduled appointments, but if they appear to be apathetic towards your product or service then you can bet it will be hard to convince them that your product will help them.

Also if they are very pessimistic then run away. Negative people will only tear you down and probably take your away from your mental focus that you need when you come across your next prospect who is legitimate. If you travel in your sales then you need to make sure that you schedule yourself geographically because not only do you have the opportunity of wasting time, but also good prospecting time.
