A great product and a friendly conversation don't automatically close a sale. So where does the deal fall apart? Erik talks with Morgan, a sales leader at Zingas, about the mistakes that cost businesses customers and how to improve the process from the first conversation to the follow-up. They break down how to build trust without forcing small talk, ask questions that uncover what customers actually need, handle objections before they become roadblocks, and ask for the sale without being pushy. Plus, Morgan explains why you should pause after presenting your price, what to ask when someone says "Can you email that to me?", and why half of their sales come from follow-up. Whether you're a franchise owner, building a sales team, or selling a service, this conversation offers practical ways to strengthen your sales process.
