How to lose a sales pitch

I can't imagine anyone who listens to this podcast deliberately sets out to lose a sales pitch, after all you probably worked hard to get to the point where you're delivering the pitch in the first place.

But there are things that you are probably doing that actually are helping you lose the pitch rather than win it so let's have a look at five ways that show you how to lose a sales pitch.

Arrive late Start with an agenda and then focus entirely on you If you're going to use slides then make sure you fill them up with lots of wordsDon't be concerned about establishing the buying processFinally make sure you overrun on time

Okay this was meant to be a bit of fun but of course if you recognise some or any of these as potentially happening, and they might be, then now is the time to address the way you do either individual or team lead sales pitches.

A sales pitch is a wonderful opportunity, particularly when economic times are great, so you really need to make the most about opportunity.
