Episode 244 – How To FU & Close The Deal with David Newman

Episode Overview

David Newman is BACK! And why? Well he’s hilarious, entertaining, knowledgeable, and informative. Pretty much everything you want when you’re listening to a podcast. But funny, affable David is here to tell you to FU!! That’s right. But he isn’t being rude, he just wants to give helpful and deal saving tips on how to follow up after a seemingly interested prospect falls off the face of the sales earth. David and Gina breakdown avoiding the terrible “Just circling back” follow ups and a ton of ideas of what to do instead, and why it will pay off over the long haul.

They talk about strategies to follow up in an economy that is hot in some areas and shaky in others. And even more importantly, the big hints on how to detect a bad prospect, how to do sales with a prospect vs. too a prospect, what questions to ask to close the deal, negotiating vs. caving, and SO much more, all brought to you in an amazingly engaging way with the undeniable chemistry of David and Gina.
