Re:Ask HN: How to learn sales?
on Monday September 28, 2020 @05:28PM (#24621412)
Talk to the right people is key.
Qualification is one of the most important skills to hone in sales. Are you wasting time with a tire kicker? Someone without actual purchasing authority. Wants to buy but doesn't have budget this fiscal year. Do you know the customer's fiscal year? Do you know the purchasing process at the client? I have seen many deals fouled by procurement and legal even though the buyer is ready to go.
