Your time is valuable. As a business owner, you spend a lot of that time pursuing leads and, more specifically, making sales calls. Love it or hate it, it’s a part of business. The best thing you can do is to get good at it. 

I get tons of questions regarding what you legally can or can’t do on a sales call, whether or not you’re allowed to give advice, what counts as advice vs. education, taking payment over the phone, and so much more. So, in this episode, I break down three things you should never do on a sales call, before diving into what you can do instead, so you can make the most out of your time and effort.

In this episode, you'll hear… 

• 04:21 - Why sales calls can land you in hot water
• 08:17 - Why you should never give advice on a sales call
• 13:16 - Whether or not you should take payment over the phone
• 19:04 - How to guide the conversation when running a sales call
