A prospect admitting you are or were right is better than sex.ย

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
As Corporate Bro once posted on Linkedin: "Yeah, sex is great and all but have you ever closed a deal?"

I think we all have had moments of thinking, "yeah you'll be back let's go ahead and set a calendar meeting next quarter." ๐Ÿ˜†

My boss straight up says it to people. It's amazing. You see this "yeah, sure" look from a lot of them and then a lot of them do come back.

These deals are often the best because discounting goes completely off the table and signature comes quickly.ย  MANY people need to find out the hard way and it's better to take the high road and keep in light touch with a loss to a competitor [or doing nothing] so that when the time is right the conversation is still semi-warm.

100% agreed. The "come crawling back" sales are easy and satisfying, don't burn bridges ahead of time.ย

You need to make that shit a case study ASAP. Whenever somebody is beating you up on price "this was a company I worked with and here's why they came back."

This is absolutely the best feeling. Deep down customers donโ€™t want to trust salesmen. Either because they have been burned before or they donโ€™t want to get burned. They usually go with the cheapest first because it seems the most honest but in a lot of cases it costs more money in the long run.

Blow it up
Yuuuuup, happens with one client almost every 2 years. They don't award the yearly PO, give it to some schmuck and 3 months after come crying asking us to ship 3 months of product at once to meet their now delayed delivery.

My response? "Let's avoid this and sign a long-term agreement. Price savings and less headache for you, since I know we both value this partnership."

Love this...My fave thing to say to a lost prospect: "thank you for the opportunity. If something gets caught up in legal or you have issues early on with onboarding, we're not going anywhere and would be happy to support you later"
