A sales cycle is the time it takes from the first conversation with a prospect to the time you receive a purchase order.

If you could shorten your sales cycle by 30% or more, what would occur?

  • More sales in less time.
  • Your pipeline would be leaner.
  • Revenue growth would explode.

So, what does it take to shorten your sales cycle?

  1. Qualifying. There is a defined process to disqualify prospects.
  2. Supportive Beliefs. What the salesperson believes will be present in their interaction with prospects.
  3. Rejection Proof. How quickly can they make the next call?
  4. Skepticism. Desire to ask additional questions and not assume anything.
