The Best Time Of The Year For
Selling Is Now
The best time of the year for selling is now and here’s why.
This is harvest time for sales people. This is the time of year when money can be made, businesses grown, and futures secured. It’s time to refresh your sales skills, remind yourself of the best selling techniques, and get yourself prepared to make the most of the best time of the year for selling.
Why is this time of year so good for selling?
Vacations and holidays are over. Labor Day break has gone, and in the UK there are no more bank holidays until Christmas. No more lame objections from buyers such as:
Call me back after the break
I’m going away in a few days
Business is slow this time of year
We are on annual shutdown soon
The selling period between summer and the winter break is one of the best times of the year for sales people. Now is the time I get my sales teams prepared for the feeding frenzy to come. I advise every one of them to get some sales training, set new personal goals, and get the most out of the opportunities the next few months offer.
Sharpen your sales tools
Is your sales process working for you? Could it be more effective and convert more prospects into sales, and commission payments?
Your sales process consists of sales stages that take the customer from the first contact with you to the closing of the sale.
The sales process usually starts with prospecting and sales lead generation. If you need more sales leads to give you more sales appointments, and more chances to close a sale, get working on your prospecting techniques. Open Sales prospecting Tips and see the full section on prospecting and sales lead generation.
Make more sales appointments
How to make sales appointments is a weak point for many sales people.
I have managed many sales people that were great in front of customers and really good at closing sales. But actually getting themselves in front of customers was something they found difficult.
If that sounds like you, do something about it now. Search the Internet, take a quick and effective sales training course, read a book, model yourself on someone that is effective at making sales appointments. Do something, take some action, don’t leave it too late to catch the best time of the year to sell.
If you want a good place to refresh and build your sales appointment skills open Sales appointments and cold calling tips and fill your sales appointment diary.

Sales presentation skills
This is the sales stage every sales person loves doing, presenting your proposal to the buyer. You can add your personality, passion for the product, and you can talk. And many sales people love talking...too much.
Do you know how to give an interesting sales presentation?
Do you know how much to talk, what to talk about, and how to make closing the sale really easy?
Just in case you are making some common sales mistakes and not presenting as effectively as you could be, open Sales Presentation skills and assess what you are doing now.
How to close a sale
It’s easy, simple, no tricks, no manipulation, because you have done all the hard closing and agreement gaining earlier in the sales process. There is a lot of rubbish talked about in sales training on closing a sale. Fancy techniques that don’t work in real sales situations and trick closes that can turn customers against you and leave them feeling insulted.
Think about how you close a sale. Is it the best you can do, can you improve your sales closing skills? Take a look at Closing the deal and see what you can add to what you do now.
