Creating and Maintaining Urgency

Overview

Being unable to create urgency is one of the biggest reasons why sales do not progress quickly through the sales process. When barriers exist, this leads to lengthening of the sales cycle and a push back on the decision. This module provides insight, strategies and examples of how urgency can be managed throughout the sales process and why it's crucial to do this from the onset.
