How You Surrendered Your Power to Your Prospects - and How You Can Stop Doing It

By Carl Harvey, founder of Success & Self-Esteem, a sales and business development company that helps consultants develop the selling skills and psychological competencies required to succeed at sales, and help them put in place the processes and practices that support a sales culture of achievement and accountability.

Did you ever know a prospect before he became your prospect, when he was just a person? You probably discovered that he was just like everyone else. But when that same person becomes our prospect, we transform him. We are afraid to disappoint him, we become too accommodating, we tend to accept his stories and stalls, knowing they are stories and stalls, we fear his rejection and don’t want to fail.

What did this person, now prospect, do to transform himself into this imposing figure? Nothing. We did it all by surrendering our power. Unfortunately, these white flag situations happen too often. As result we become weaker salespeople and will find our loses more frequent and our wins more difficult.

What lies at the root of this surrender? What are the perspectives and practices to reverse these surrenders and turn them into successes?
