keep rehearsing your script

>>1675554
I know my script, I mean more in terms of body language, tonality, etc.

I can pitch pretty well, I just tend to close badly and I'm not sure why.

1. lie to the clients to get sales
2. if there are any issues, blame some department that your manager hates
3. rake in $$$
4. quit job for a better sales gig
5. repeat

Yep:

> Don't fake a personality. Don't try to be the outgoing sales guy. Be what you are. Customers can see through an act like a glass window. Be real, be honest, be direct, don't be afraid to explain the downsides of your own product, or that you aren't sure about something

> You learn sales by selling. No book is gonna give you a trick or secret

> Sales comes in motivational waves, do not get too low, and stay on a hot streak as long as you can. The best time to make a sale is right after a sale

> It takes time, build, meet, relate, talk to people

> Listen to people. Forget about what you are selling, your numbers, just listen to what they are saying and relate to them. When they are done talking if you can tie it into a sale, great, if not just end up friends. This technique can lead to later sales

> Gotta have marketing. A lot of it. Ads, billboards, web, etc... A company that hires sales people but no marketing initiatives is like an army sending soldiers out without guns

> Gotta believe in what you do, gotta have a good product. Even great salesmen will fail if they go to work for a shit company with a shit product

> Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time and you will fail a lot. But the lessons you will learn will last decades. Sometimes the particular job just wasn't for you. You can be a sales hero for one company and not get a single sale for another. A lot has to do with the company and what they offer.

Been in sales for 3 years.
