If it takes 6 weeks to close a client, you’re in trouble.Long sales cycles aren’t just a minor inconvenience—they’re a scale killer. They eat up your time, burn money, and create a bottleneck that holds your business back.
Here’s how to cut your sales cycle from 6 weeks to 6 days:
1. Restructure Your Offer – Stop trying to sell the whole cow when your prospect just wants a glass of milk. Break your offer into smaller, high-value steps to get a quick win and move them to the next phase faster.
2. Automate the Journey – Warm up prospects before the call with a 3-email sequence that:...Introduces the big idea and pain points...Tackles objections before they arise...Showcases social proof to build trust
3. Standardize Your Sales Call – Use a 3-act structure to guide the conversation:
Act 1: Diagnose the problem by asking the right questions
Act 2: Demonstrate your framework or methodology
Act 3: Create a frictionless path to a decision
Case Study:
David followed these steps, raised his prices by 275%, and closed 2 high-ticket deals back-to-back. This isn’t a fluke—it’s a fix.
If you’re selling complex B2B services and deals are dragging out for weeks, follow these principles to kill sales lag and create a faster path to yes.
