Unsold Customers: Potential clients who have shown interest but haven’t committed. As we explore this unique category of customers, we are reminded of individuals that Jesus encountered, such as the rich young ruler. People who were curious yet hesitant. The handling of such customers requires a blend of understanding, patience, and gentle persuasion, recognizing their interest and addressing their reservations with clarity and assurance.

Unsold Customers: The Untapped Potential

In sales, as in life, there’s a tendency to focus on what’s new and immediate. The pursuit of new customers can be relentless and often overshadows a hidden gem: the unsold customers. The relationship with these individuals doesn’t end with a ‘no’. If nurtured properly, it can evolve into something beautiful, much like the way Jesus patiently addressed the doubts of the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-27).

Unsold customers already have a connection with you. They’ve seen what you have to offer and are familiar with your product or service. What’s missing is the final step, and that’s where the art of service comes in.

By employing the IDEAS Sales System, you can turn a seemingly lost cause into a meaningful connection. This process requires INTRODUCING yourself to the prospect’s needs, DISCOVERING what held them back, EVALUATING their hesitations, ADAPTING your approach to suit their concerns, and finally SERVING them with sincerity and integrity.
