<\/p>\n

Leading sales trainer and author, Colleen Francis, recently had this to say about first impressions in sales:<\/p>\n

\n

Salespeople will generally have between 4 and 30 seconds to make a first impression on prospective clients that will compel them to want to engage<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a sobering observation. Most companies have a limited number of prospects and can ill afford to be making a poor impression that ends up in a prospect taking their business to a competitor. So it behooves the sales manager to make sure reps are properly prepared to make successful calls and\/or the right reps are on the sales team.<\/p>\n

To your success!<\/p>\n
