Agree with Sheila's last post


So do I. Agencies may have hundreds of CVs on file. They need a CV that's all on one page (double spaced), has a good friendly photograph of you, and just a few key points. They don't want to hear your life story.

• Introduction

Qualifying leads and prospects plays a very significant role in selling. Without a solid prospect list, it will be difficult to build a sales territory. Finding the potential prospects is one of the most critical phases of a salesperson’s work. If a salesperson is not vigilant, he will lose the potential customers to aggressive competitors. Sales prospecting has been compared to panning for gold. Just as a prospector digs for the gold, using his pick and pan, the sales prospector must also look for qualified prospects using his sales tools.

According to an authentic survey, out of every 100 prospects, there are probably ten who are qualified to purchase. Of those ten, there are probably only three who have the immediate need to buy. How do you find those three buyers? That is how the sales process starts.
