Having a clear next step arranged with your prospect is the best way to keep your sale moving forward. A clear next step is defined as having another interaction between you and them! If the prospect asks you to send them further information via email, make sure you have a date in which you will call, video call or visit them. If you send them the information on Tuesday, before that interaction finishes arrange a time on Thursday to run through the information presented and get the prospect’s thoughts!
Likewise if you’re conducting a discovery call, make sure a suitable date and time for them is agreed before the end of the meeting. Same goes after a demo or presentation and after you supply them with a proposal. Never leave your next interaction in limbo, always have a clear next step arranged. Once the date and time of the next step has been agreed send a calendar invite, ideally while the prospect is still with you and ask them to accept what has been agreed! – Ben James
