1. Maintain a List. This list is populated by people who have evinced some interest in your wares at some time. Organise the list in the following order of precedence.
a. Hot prospects, people who you know are very interested and are just waiting for that final nudge from you, to convert from prospect to customer.
b. Medium prospects, people who you know are reasonably interested in your wares but will take a lot of working on to develop into clients.
c. Likely prospects, people who are but mildly interested and will need a huge amount of convincing to cross the line.
It should be evident from the above classification, where your energies are better spent.

A prospective customer may either not be aware of your product or, may only be vaguely aware. It is to your benefit if you are able to match the customer’s perceived need to your product. Give him the unique privilege of learning from you about how your product could help in making his life easier and he will always come back to you.
3. Be curious. Once you are able to interact with a prospect, ask a lot of questions, of course, as unobtrusively as possible. Engage the prospect in a conversation, gently advance the usefulness of your product and elicit the prospect’s response to the stated benefits. See if you can understand the prospect’s mindset and any objections he may have to the product as presented. This will enable you to recast your approach as well as improve and modify the product if enough feedback warrants it.
