Don’t you hate when this happens?

You felt like you had a really qualified and interested prospect, set the demo call, looked forward to what you thought was for sure your next sale, and…

Right out of the gate, they won’t even give you the chance to pitch them!

The good news is that this is a repeatable selling situation, and if you’re prepared for it with good scripted response (or three!), you’ll be that much closer to overcoming it and getting into your demo.
