One of the biggest places you’re losing sales isn’t in your calls, meetings or negotiations.
It starts before you ever contact your prospects.

This means billions of dollars in lost deals every year – and it’s completely preventable.
When it comes to how new leads are handled, most sales teams have a different process for every salesperson. What’s missing are a few consistent steps to make sure that leads are acted upon in the same way.
