The topic for today's episode was sparked by a listener who contacted me about a problem. She was frustrated by a company who she did business with that never delivered on their promises. In her case, she will definitely say "no" to this business from here on out. But she also may be more apt to say "no" to the next company based on her current experience(s). Customers may say "no" to you for any of these 4 reasons: 1) You haven't built a connection. 2) You have failed to execute. 3) You haven't asked them to buy. 4) You only ask them to buy one time.

A major part of executing in sales is actually doing what you say you are going to do for a client. They are expecting you to follow-through and if you don't, they will refuse to be a soundboard for you within their network of people. Another important aspect of executing is actually delivering results. The more consistent you can be, the better opportunities you will have to write your future.
