So do you find that you get to the end of a sales appointment and you don't know how to close the sale, ask for the sale and you basically walk away from the sale, making a friend, rather than a sale?  Yes, I've done that too!  

In this episode, I'm going to take you through how to position the sales appointment at the start to help you lead your prospect to make a decision and to make it far simpler for you to ask for the sale.

This will be helpful for anyone that needs to make sales, but in particular, those that are selling a service.

This interview with Debbie from Travel Associates is so interesting.  Running 6 stores plus a work from home team in Far North Queensland for a long time, Debbie has seen many ups and down in the world that have directly affected the travel industry.  This is a great podcast to learn how to work in a 'people' business and how to operate a multi-store franchise business.
