Ways to find better prospects
Your ability to earn top level income is directly proportional to the size and quality of your prospect list. In short, you are only as good as your prospects. To keep moving ahead as professional salesperson, you have to replenish your supply of prospects continually. Here are a few ways to help you get started:
Think of your present customer as prospects. Repeat orders are expected from regular customers, but consider them as prospects for whatever they are not buying from you now.
Look for prospects who resemble present customers Once you land a customer in a particular field concentrate on prospects in the same field. Your present customers serves as proof that the same solutions will work as well for similar prospects.
Keep alert for leads: Develop a mental attitude toward finding leads from every source. Ask
questions, then listen carefully, take notes. Talk with others who work with the kind of prospects you need, like other salespeople, service people, friends ·and other employees. Look for signs of new businesses in your territory.
