(Define your UVP = unique value position, not your selling point) 3. Can the prospect afford your product? (Pricing approach) 4. Does the prospect want your product? This is the most important part to close a deal since it requires a lot of sales techniques, i.e sales psychology, FOMO situation, reference point of contact, etc.

One of the biggest myths about sales is that it is all about convincing people to buy something they don't need or want. This is not only unethical, but also ineffective. Sales is not about persuasion, but about problem-solving. You need to understand your prospects' needs, challenges, goals, and motivations, and offer them a solution that matches their situation and adds value to their lives. Sales is not about pushing your product, but about helping your customer. #copied
