Learn From Your Loss

So you can start winning.

Losing a sale is no fun, but it you can learn from your mistakes and increase your wins.  Below are a few bullet points from a Miller Heiman article about the importance of reviewing your losses:

  • Reconnect with everyone who worked on the sale within a week of the buyer's final decision. You'll get a clearer picture of what led to the decision while the information is still fresh.
  • Consider a review as part of your process. Scheduling a final interview fights the urge to postpone or ignore the exercise.
  • Ask for a follow-up phone call soon after you hear the dreaded "no." Knowing the sale's final outcome allows you to ask straightforward questions to learn why the customer didn't choose your solution.

About Brianna Tinjum

I am happy to say I love my job! Everyday there is a new challenge and something new to learn, it keeps things interesting. I was very happy when we started Good Training because it gave me an opportunity to help people and share knowledge. Outside of the office I enjoy being active. When weather permits you may catch me riding my bike around the lakes of Minneapolis or hiking in Northern Minnesota. In the winter I get out snowboarding as much as possible and I always try to take a trip to the mountains. I made it out to Bridger Bowl in Bozeman, MT at the end of February 2008 and it was a fantastic time! Year round I participate in dance and yoga classes to mix things up. I love watching movies and you could say I may have seen too many. :) I also have a passion for reading - if I find a good book it can consume all of my free time.
