The Best Way to Close Sales: One Call Close Methodology

One close-call methodology is the best way to avoid no-shows and delays in closing sales. It saves you time because it only takes one conversation with a prospect instead of two or three; plus this strategy helps them come to quicker decisions which they’ll be grateful for!

Simply ask them the 4Ws: Who are you? What do you do? Where do you want to be? What will you do about it?

Here’s why this method works:

• Avoids no-shows, and delays in closing sales
• Cuts to the chase: Let your prospects know their time is of value and so is yours.

Networking and why it’s important to connect with the right people

Networking is key to getting ahead in this industry, Alex explains how you should start with your local network first and then use cost-effective ads to get results. 

“All of your clients could possibly be my clients and vice versa” 

It’s all a numbers game, you only have to spend around 5 dollars to get leads through ads. Hence, once you start investing in advertising when you reach out to leads or call them you’re more likely to be met with success.

“Once you’ve jumped through all the hoops you will get better quality leads,” says Alex Schlinksy. 

Once, you’ve tapped into the market well, spending money on Ads makes much more sense, so that you get a better return on your investment. 

His key giveaways when it comes to networking are:

• Organically convert leads 
• Expand reach through other networks
• Warm leads can be converted into a different funnel
• Tap into other networks to expand your reach

If your competition is spending more than you, you need not be worried. It’s all about your marketing strategy and what is best for your agency. Most agency owners resonate with big advertising budgets, but they don’t always reap the best results.
