Fish tales about the ‘big one that got away’ are legendary. Franchise salespeople have their own stories of big ones that got away, too.
But the good ones also tell tales of the near-misses they pulled from the fire – and of how, at the eleventh hour, whether through fancy footwork or a simple stroke of luck, they landed the deal after all.
Top sales pros are unafraid to admit their mistakes, because they’ve learned from them and gotten better. Here’s 4 ‘big ones’ willing to share what they’ve learned from the ones that got away and from the many more they’ve landed – all wrapped up in 10 easy lessons:
1) Learn to listen (and be patient)
2) Follow your passion
3) Get involved!
4) Learn from your mistakes
5) Polish your relationship building
6) Know what the next step is
7) Market every way you can
Never badmouth the competition
9) Always be ready to learn
10) Be disciplined

LOVE this post – especially the aspects of not badmouthing the competition and having discipline! Discipline is hard for many, and I believe that’s why so many fail to make it online.
Thanks again!
