How to Be Instantly Irresistible in Sales Tip #3: Don't need the business.

This is one of the most counterintuitive ideas in selling today, but it’s also one of the most powerful. Let’s say you need surgery and you call on two different surgeons. When you call the first one, the office administrator answers the phone and says, “Absolutely, when can you come in? Want to come in tomorrow, or how about Thursday?” The second surgeon’s office says, “Well, actually, Dr. Jones is incredibly busy. The earliest we can schedule you in is seven weeks from now.

Would you still like to make that appointment?” Which surgeon do you feel more confident in? The second one, of course. Sales is the same way. Prospects can sense when salespeople are desperate for the business. On the other hand, when salespeople seem like they don’t need the business, prospects instantly feel more respect for them. That’s why “not needing the business” is a crucial component of how to be instantly irresistible in sales.

However, one of the secrets of how to be instantly irresistible in sales is this: At least 50% of prospects aren’t a good fit, and they should be disqualified as soon as possible. Irresistible salespeople disqualify those prospects who aren’t a good fit right up front. When prospects see that salespeople are looking to disqualify them, they suddenly feel at ease, and they naturally become more attracted to those salespeople. By actually seeking to disqualify those who are not a good fit, salespeople are going to be far more irresistible to those that are a fit.
