Another Member of the Sales Prevention Team

 

Want a horror story? 

(I love sales and demo horror stories!)

 

 

"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."

–  John Wooden

 

 

 

A lack of situational awareness can be costly.

 

I was watching an online demo a while ago, when one of the prospect team members asked a question. The salesperson chatted to the presenter, “Ignore that question – that guy is an idiot!” 

 

Sadly, the salesperson didn’t realize that he had included “Everyone” in the chat, not just the presenter. 

 

End of demo, end of sales cycle…

 

 

Moral: Be careful of what you chat and to whom!
