The #1 Sales Pipeline Killer & How To Fix It ASAP! | Donald C. Kelly - 1835

The Sales Evangelist

How’s your sales pipeline going? It’s not performing as well as you need it to during this time of year.

That’s why in this episode, I’m going to show you how to fix it fast and continue growing your business before the holidays arrive.

What's the Number One Sales Pipeline Killer?

• You’re doing everything right to grow your pipeline, and everything is going great. You’re getting clients, and they’re saying yes to your pitches.
• But now things are starting to slow down, which is frustrating when you’re getting used to the groove.
• Listen to my short story on how I overcame this unique challenge. It may help you when your sales pipeline suddenly slows down.

Always Be Prospecting

• Closing deals is what makes you money. Once those are done, you’re going to need more to keep the money rolling in.
• This is why you always need to be on the lookout for new business opportunities.
• You don’t want your pipeline to dry up, because once one deal closes, you need to be ready to close another one ASAP.
• If you want to learn how to close deals faster, join my Sales Mastermind Class. You can find the link in the resource section.

Self-Discipline for Prospecting

• Sellers who don’t take the time to prospect are the ones who believe it doesn’t work.
• However, it actually does work. Tell yourself, "I just can’t stop prospecting!"
• Set aside at least two hours on your calendar for prospecting to help you stay consistent.
• If you need help growing your pipeline, check out this episode with Monica Stewart.

“Always be prospecting. You want to have more opportunities than you think you need to keep your pipeline full and advance deals.” - Donald C. Kelly.
