You know that you need to make appointments with qualified decision makers, to collect information about their needs, to build relationships, to demonstrate products, to follow up, to answer questions, etc. Your list of important sales activities is probably expanding monthly.

One crucial factor to the success of your job search is confidence.

You make an offer whenever you respond to a request for a price. When you demonstrate a product, you make an offer. When you bring in a piece of literature and tell your customer about some new product or service, you make an offer. When you respond to your customer?s request with information about a product or service, you make an offer. All of these are variations on a theme, but all of them can be classified as the presentation of an offer.
And those offers are the heart of your job. Without them, you can sell nothing. Your customers will never buy if you never offer them something to buy.
It is an unmistakable fact of life that in sales, quantity counts. In other words, to be successful, you must make a certain quantity of sales offers. No matter how much skill and sophistication you apply to your job as a salesperson, you cannot totally negate the quantity aspect of it. Given two salespeople in approximately equal territories, or of approximately equal abilities, the one who makes the greater quantity of sales offers will generally have better results than the other.
With this in mind, one simple way to cut through all the mass of things that you have to do is to focus on the essential component of the sales process - making an appropriate quantity of sales
