Seth on Sales: Don't Ask Me "When Will the Sale Close?"

Third in a series

This one is good:

Selling is interpersonal. I am not moving bits, I'm trying to change people's minds, one person at a time. So, no, I can't tell you when the sale will close. No one knows, especially the prospect.

Can I get an "Amen"!  AMEN!

It's not fair to ask when the sale will close.  Nobody knows, not even the prospect much of the time as Seth points out.

Sales is a process, and its not an exact science.  I've sold things in a few days, and then turned around and needed six months with the next prospect.  That's how it works.  That's sales.
