Episode Notes

I'm going to discuss in this episode the flaw in using a script. It is the one thing that becomes the biggest crutch in your sales business.

At the same time, if you don't use a script, you have kind of this Old Wild West feel to your message and you don't really have good talking points or the best benefits that come out in that sales process may not even be benefits that you're prepared to offer your clients.

As closers, we really enjoy using scripts. It actually helps us, it maintains our integrity and allows us to stay on track for the call. There's actually a method of putting a script together, that creates a lot of points. And crafting the proper script for your people is very important.

You’re going to have to use a script if you're looking to close more sales. Stay tuned to know how to go about developing and using a script the right way.
