The Twelve Days of Selling "Day 11"

Another day of wind, cold and rainy weather along the coast. My first appointment was about an hour away, to present pricing for one of the new production systems. 

 

Pricing is tentative so there was not even an inkling of  securing an order.  It was the first time I've ever presented a price for more than $150K for one system!!  Everything was good,  we kicked the can down the street and will be scheduling a demonstration for the client.

 

My second appointment was another color production system, however, this one bombed out on me.  Thus, it was off to the office to do some additional hunting in my CRM.

 

Twenty some emails, twenty some phone calls and I got nothing.  I prepared the paperwork for the two orders from the previous day and then went back to my CRM to see what other candidates I could find. Also forgot about a small order that I had and updated those numbers

 

Just about 4:30PM, I was able to connect with a net new customer that balked at buying last spring.  This go around ended up a little bit better and the prospect was extremely interested in one of the systems I was offering up.  Not a sale, but, another prospect to add to the growing list.  I was ok, that I ended up with something.  I keep reminding my self that each new day brings the potential for a new dollar (year kinda corny, but something I tell my self).

 

Tomorrow, maybe a lost day, since I need to travel to corporate for our Holiday event.  But before I go for the three hour ride, I'll need to get a couple of new tires and an oil change.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will return an email or a phone call!

 

Amount Needed $74K   Amount Sold  $111,500
