When you lose a client or are pitching business that you don't win — do you know why you weren't chosen?
Most business leaders, if they were being honest, would have to admit they don't.
RainToday wants to offer some insights from their new report Deal or No Deal: Sales Mistakes that Turn Buyers Away. (you can download it for free here).
The biggest sales mistake? We've talked about it before but apparently, you weren't listening. The #1 mistake…Not listening. Shocker.
But….the real shocker is when you look at the chart that shows both the biggest mistakes AND the "much more likely to buy if they improved" items. Then you begin to truly understand the cost of some of those shortcomings.
One of the mistakes I find most startling is the "did not respond to my requests in a timely manner." Seriously people — they're asking to buy and you don't get back to them? Apparently 30+% of businesses out there actually make this faux pas. A whopping 57% of respondents say that if a business was better about this — they'd be much more likely to buy.
Duh. Shame on any business who makes this sadly common mistake.
