7 of 7: How Do You Keep The Sales Circle Going & Growing?

The sales cycle is never-ending. It evolves, flows, and repeats itself the next time a customer is looking to make a purchase. Congratulations if you won the sale. Celebrate the victory and begin the follow up of delivering on the product or service that was sold. If you sold any product or service, follow up would include making sure the product works or service is delivered as agreed with the customer in the previous steps in the sales process. Remember to express thanks, gratitude, and/or appreciation in an appropriate way.

Integrating mindfulness in the follow-up and gratitude is taking a moment to feel gratitude in your body as the truth of your experience. Don’t just say you are grateful, feel it! Feel joy in your body. Share that joy with your potential customer/lead/prospect.

Breathe
Keep your beliefs positive
