Everyone makes mistakes, it is a part of our human nature. \u00a0Some mistakes seem bigger and more detrimental than others but almost every mistake is recoverable. \u00a0To put it in a sports perspective, a hockey player can turn the puck over to the other team in game 7 of the playoffs so they can go shoot on goal (big mistake). \u00a0The player can get mad at himself for allowing the other team to have a scoring chance or he can work hard and get back defensively to stop the shot. \u00a0If the player gets back in time he will be praised for being able to recover from a potential costly mistake.<\/p>\n
In sales, we may make a mistake or two, but that does not mean the sale is gone. \u00a0I made a big mistake by making an assumption during our class project. \u00a0However I did my best to recover by then asking for more information so that I didn’t have to assume anything else. \u00a0I was able to gather more information from the prospect and reestablish some confidence in the relationship that may have been lost from my mistake. \u00a0A good salesperson rarely commits any errors but a great salesperson is able to recover from the rare mistake and still create a successful business relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
