Meeting Sales Prospects for the First Time

When you meet prospective clients during the selling cycle — or anyone, for that matter — for the first time, your goal is for them to like and trust you. You can accomplish that goal and be on your way to making a sale by completing the following steps, in this order:

1. Smile, deep and wide.

   
   



2. Make eye contact.

   
   



3. Offer a greeting.

   
   



4. Shake hands.

   
   



5. Offer your name and get the prospect’s name.

   
   

Remember: Long-term relationships begin in the first ten seconds.
