Today was a day like another other day at the Jersey Shore, the Sun still rose in the East, the ocean still sent it's countless waves ashore and I was off to work. Dagnabit, it was such a beautiful day for October in New Jersey!
I had one early appointment at 9AM for that wide format color scanner I spoke about the other day. Funny, how thrifty some clients can be. The first question was centered around, "can I rent a wide format color scanners for a few months?", the second, "do you have any off lease wide format color scanners?", and "do you have anything used?" You know my answer, right? No, no and no, however I did explain to the client why none of those scenario's would work for them. Did I take an order, well......no, but it wasn't because I didn't close enough, the client wanted to get with his accountant and find out what lease is better for them. I'm hoping to have this in my pocket this week.
BTW, if you're wondering where I get my pricing for wide format scanners, take a trip to my peeps over at National Azon. They have been awesome!
Speaking of this week, I'm down to the last five selling days of the week and I got crap! So much for the past two months, when almost every opportunity turned into an order. I've lost three already this month and I'm thinking I'm losing another one tomorrow. So, it goes.....
With twenty-five percent of the month left, I turned my attention to trying to wrap up a few orders before the month closed. I was able to schedule 3 appointments today with existing accounts, and worked on researching and finalizing a few orders that I can bring to fruition.
At this point, I don't have anything solid, meaning I have an appointment or a call to write an order. I did get notification on a large order that the down payment check of $35K did go in the mail today. Thus, I'm hoping I'll have that before the end of this week.
I have two appointments tomorrow, did not want to schedule then like that, but it is the last week of the month and I need to make things happen.
Opportunities today, was another zero, but I'll be back on the phone tomorrow and Wednesday and I'm sure that will change. That's one thing that I find awesome about sales, it's that as long you keep prospecting, you never know what tomorrow will bring. Things seem to work out that way, even after 36 years, stuff just happens!
When I finish up this blog, I'll be posting up some press releases to this site, and if it's not too late, I'm going to prepare my constant contact monthly email that I will send to 45 clients (yah, yah, I know I need to get that number up).
