This lowers your status and puts emphasis on the fact you were late.
Instead, simply say:
Thank you for your patience.
This can appear disrespectful to the person you are talking with and break the deal.
Instead, simply ask this:
Who else will be involved in the process of making the decision?
Cmon, this sounds like a kid in school asking another one 'wanna be my friend'...
Instead, use the assumptive close and say:
Would you be paying with your debit or should we do a paypal?
Many people do not want to be the best or strive to be the best. It sounds gimmicky and elitist without need.
It sounds cool to say this, but it will cost you a lot of sales...
As you begin your journey in marketing your business online and begin building your brand you will hear a lot of lies that will make you question "am I doing this right"?
Here are 3 of the worst to avoid believing and the truths behind each lie.
People don't read, they scan
This one makes an appearance now and again and it paints a bad picture of good marketing.
If this were true all necessary information would be scanned and never read...
Good marketing isn't about keeping everything short and to the point.
It's about knowing when to keep it short and simple and when to explain more with key information the reader needs to know.
People read what matters
They cut out the noise and only read info they want the most.
You must find a niche to start your business
While you continue to overthink, other people have already started building their brand
You don't need anything however by...
Being poor is ok.
But, staying poor is not ok.
If you know how it feels, use this as a motivation fuel to get rich.
If you have the right skills that is.
This is why there are so many people who are disappointed.
Great markiting is awesome, but you need to be able to deliver results after!
You just have not told them enough about the chance of working with you.
Repetition is key.
If you don't practice sales, you probably won't make a lot of sales.
Ever heard about the famous 10K months in a week?

These tips can be applied to dating too, so pay close attention.
Take it slow and have a proper nurturing sequence in place.
Example: Send extra tips via email/buy them a takeaway meal.

Maybe they had a bad previous experience.
It is your job to help them understand that you are diffrent & truly aim to help them!
The majority of people are not ready to commit to long-term relationships or projects quickly.
They need time to over-think every detail.
Patience is key.
Therefore they prefer to ghost you, because they don't see you as an expert.
Improve your positioning and help them see the benefits of working/dating with you.
These are the tips I wish I read about sales when I was 22...
Whenever starting a business, the easiest sale would be to the people who already trust you.
If the product is relevant, offer it to them!
If people like you, they are more willing to buy from you.
In fact, they are willing to reject other offers which are better, just because they like you and your personality.
Everything and anything can be expensive and cheap for different people.
Person A, hates football: a shirt signed by messi holds no value to them.
Person B, loves football: is willing to pay $10000 for that same shirt.
Word of mouth is one of the most powerful sales drivers.
If...

Hashtags won't attract people to your page.
Don't get me wrong, hashtags are amazing. The problem with hashtags is they force us to put all our focus on a number.
And we forget where our focus should be.
We can blame other factors for our lack of reach. Or we can put our focus back into the process.
The process of creating content worth interacting with.
The process of serving our cutomers regularly.
The process of building trust and winning hearts over time.
Hashtags serve you for the short-term. Building your brand is a focus for the long-term.

These tips can be applied to dating too, so if you are single - double win!
If there isn't a mutual understanding, the deal will fall.
They either like you or won't work with you.
Most customers will express what they need, and if you ignore it, they will walk away.
Shh....listen more than you talk!
If there is a potential client who is phenomenal....why not tell them?
People love compliments!
Whenever you are selling a product or service, you need to provide security.
Otherwise, people won't take action.
Big brands won't tell you this:
The real reason as to how they become so successful.
Every day brands flood our social media feeds!
They're all shouting in a desperate attempt to win a space in our minds.
The more brands shout, the less we pay attention.
This is why, while all other brands are shouting.
Smart brands whisper and let their actions do the talking!
