A Successful Sales Process Outline by David M. Anderson
"The best way to sell tree ...care is to be an expert. If you are a good arborist and work as a consultant, you have the essential ingredients. Let’s start with that premise and add a few other basics, but extremely important, norms or principles."
David shares his process, here are some of the highlights:
Always be honest
Don't try to save every tree
Don't sell on fear
Manage your calendar
Ask for their budget
Explain what separates you from the competition
Follow up in a timely manner
Set low expectations
