What is your firm’s first reaction to a recession? If you think that you should lie off the seemingly unnecessary staff, stop production, and institute a massive price cut, then think again. These, in fact, are ways to welcome the undesired recession in your business. Instead, consider gearing up and facing the tough times as if they are alternatively an opportunity to step up the success ladder and vanquish your competition. Bad times, if analyzed carefully, can be a tremendous opportunity for your business.>How soon are you looking to have the roof replaced?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CLOSE? - CLOSING STARTED WITH HELLO!
It's not about the close - it's about the qualifying. If you're following a well documented sales process and asking great qualifying questions, the close will become a formality.
Question 2) Of these top five, which is the most important? Why?
Answer:
Qualifying.
Qualifying is critical because:
if you don’t understand my needs or wants;
if you don't understand what motivates me to buy;
if you don’t know who the decision makers are;
if you don’t know if I could afford what you have;
How are you going CLOSE the sale?
DON'T FRUSTRATE YOURSELF!
Ask great questions and listen for the answers (objections, concerns, fears).
Question 3) List the top three steps in the qualifying process?
Answer:
1. Identifying the decision maker.
2. Identifying that there is a need or want.
3. Identifying affordability.
Question 4) Of the top three which is most important. Why?
Answer:
Identifying the decision maker.
Without identifying the decision maker/s you’ll invest a lot of time and emotion only to find there are one or more additional people needed to move forward. Don’t get caught in the trap of believing the person or people you are talking to will do a better job of selling than you can. If you’re not dealing with all the decision makers you lose. And, if by some miracle you do close the sale, it will be a very lengthy selling cycle.
Question 5) What is more important - qualifying or closing? Why?
Answer:
"If you don’t know the answer to this one, WE NEED TO TALK!"
