Sales prospecting is a key activity for most sales driven concerns. But there are so many myths regarding sales prospecting in and around every business. Can you guys suggest what are the important myths revolving around any business such that we can improvise there?

Prospecting takes time...

idea posted by Ramdas Pawar Sales/BD Manager, Flex

Prospecting takes only a few minutes to determine if the lead wants our benefits and can afford company's product or service. Don't waste time on people who are unable to buy. Remember to focus on the best and qualified leads.

Add your argument:

Prospecting is a numbers game

idea posted by Paresh Dhembare Area Sales Manager, ICICI Bank Ltd

The old school of prospecting for business relies on contacting large numbers of cold contacts. However, quality supersedes quantity. You must find prospects that have a propensity and possible motive to buy your product or services.

Closing on appointments

idea posted by Mohit Aggarwal Sales/BD Manager, Oracle

Prospects will sometimes find it easier to agree to an appointment rather than saying they are not interested. If a prospect is interested, then offer a much subtler approach. Sales prospecting which has done right can have a huge impact on company's sales revenue. Sales person shold not directly jump on to closing.
