Every salesperson has experienced it. You may have one or two months where you close lots of deals. The money is rolling in. You feel on top of the world. But it doesn’t last. The following month, or even two or three, you hardly have any deals closing. The income dries up. There’s no hot prospects in your pipeline. How do you avoid that up and down cycle in your sales career? In this episode Joe Evangelisti is going to give you the warning signs that the downward trend is about to start and tell you exactly what you should do when you recognize it. Don’t miss out on this simple but powerful episode of The Flip King podcast.

Joe just had an awesome lunch with his acquisitions manager, John. During their conversation Joe asked him a very important question. “What’s the biggest concern you have for your business right now?” John’s answer was the very same concern most salespeople have, no matter the industry. “I’m always concerned that the pipeline of potential customers will dry up.” Does that sound familiar? It’s a genuine concern. The pipeline of potential customers and legitimate leads for your business is what fuels your future income. You won’t be able to survive financially if your pipeline dries up. In this episode Joe Evangelisti gives you the one thing you have to do when you recognize that you’re at the end of your sales cycle and have no more leads in your pipeline.

but you can’t be complacent with what you’ve accomplished. You’ve got to have the humility and wisdom to look ahead and prepare for the next step. It’s fine to celebrate your successes, but don’t let it lull you into thinking in a short-sighted way. Future income is dependent on your future deals.  That means that once you’ve emptied your pipeline by closing sales, it has to be filled up again. How does that happen? You have to be refilling it day after day, even during your times of success. That means knocking on doors, meeting with potential clients, making phone calls, putting out bandit signs - whatever it takes to get more customers started in the process of closing a deal with you.

Celebrate, yes. But it’s at the moment of success you need to realize that the pipeline has to be refilled. Go back to square one immediately. Repeat the actions that filled your pipeline in the first place. Find more leads and start building the possibilities that will turn into your future income. If you don’t, you’ll hit the downward slide soon. Your income will drop, your closing rate will diminish, you’ll be broke for weeks or months at a time. Be wise enough to look ahead and prepare for what’s coming. Keep that pipeline full!
