Sandler Rule: “You can’t get mad at somebody for doing something you didn’t tell them they couldn’t do.”
So, why do so many salespeople allow “ghosting” to occur? Everyone hates to be ghosted. Ghosting means the buyer (prospect) has entered the Witness Protection Program. The reason? You haven’t empowered them to say, “No.”
In this Breakthrough session, our hosts at Sandler Trustpointe will be sharing the prevention hack you need to deploy to A) Shorten your selling cycle and B) Eliminate ghosting forever
