Chris and Jose talk about the sales process in the design business world: generating leads, closing, delivering, and following up.
• How you get leads
• How you get clients and how you close a project.
• How you build “relationships” instead of just “clients”
Learn how to have great customer service and how to guide clients through the sales process. Learn how to make sales by listening to your clients and understanding the roadblocks to making the sale. Listening and being confident are critical to making sales and getting clients. The best way to generate leads is by asking clients for referrals.
