Why You Should Have a Mission

Many business owners know what a mission statement is, and understand how important it is to have one. Indeed, many of us will be familiar with such statements from major organisations. We all understand the benefits of such a statement and how its existence can be used to keep a company aligned to its core values and focus. Yet many smaller businesses do not have one.

Your job is to either get to that hidden objection and learn what you need to do to overcome it, or get your prospect to reveal why they aren't going to go with your product or service. And that's why you must get your prospect talking. Now here is why this is so hard for sales people: They don't want to ask because they don't want to know!
