Open Door Policy


from my email:

Daily Sales Tip: Leave the Door Open

Never lock the door behind you when you go. There's no point in telling a customer, "You're not worth my time." Say instead, "I appreciate the time you've invested with me, but it doesn't look like this is a good match for us."

You might even recommend another product or service you think is a better fit for their needs. Try to walk away on friendly terms so that both of you have the option to call again should the situation change.

Yep, it's all about establishing relationships over the lifetime -- continue to nurture it even when you receive the initial no.
