SPRUCE:  Use to have a saleman who worked for us who knew from his statistics that he got 11 no's before he got one yes. That is a very South African strategy of selling. ;D ;D

Wash your hair, have a shave, put on a clean shirt, trousers and shoes and go and knock on the door.

I shall do it on Thursday and report back!  Thanks.

I knew that's what the reply would be.  :'( ;D


Bath night is a Wednesday at tosh's gaff then and good luck with it.

Hi Tosh,

A local window cleaner cleans them at the moment. Husband and wife team. They have been doing it for years now.

I know they do it for quite cheap as a price per pane.

Hi Wiz

That's exactly right. This guy used to live by that statistic. It was what inspired him to keep on with the next phone call - totally different to the depressed guy across the office who would 'throw the towel in' after a few rejections. (He also used that same statistic to pull the birds. He never minced he words - no verbal foreplay - just asked the question straight out. Got his face slapped a few times, but this was also part of his No stastics).

The step by step corporate prospecting and sales training came from my time at Citroen UK on Commercial Sales. I did smile when Dave Morris said that a Citroen salesman had got his teeth in and won't let go. Should get Dave to email Citroen to say that there is at least one saleman that has applied the training that they have given.  ;D ;D ;D

When I used to sell a particular suite of computer software we used to use a pyramid.

We knew that if we phoned 85 companies we'd get to speak to the decision maker ten times.

For every ten people we spoke to we'd get an appointment to demonstrate it.

For every three people we demonstrated to, we'd get a sale.


Once you've worked that lot out, you'd know that 255 phone calls led to a sale.  As above, knowing that made it easier to deal with people saying "no" as you knew someone would say "yes" soon enough.

You simply cannot expect every visit to result in a sale.  Once you realise that, you can deal with it.



And for you, Tosh, with your buddhism, if they say "no" just experience it without judgment and move on to the next opportunity...

Hi Richy
Don't tell me Tosh and his Missus clean the place already and just 'rattled our cages' for a bit of excitement.
