Why prospecting fails and what to do 
about it
Engaging Prospects so they want to find you 

Prospecting is arguably the #1 hot topic in sales. In spite of all the seminars, podcasts, training programs, books, and pressure from managers, most salespeople are prospecting excuse experts. Even when cajoled, pushed, and incentivized, salespeople have a tough time getting their prospecting engine to run on one cylinder-at most. 

Why is there so much resistance to getting out and finding new customers? Why do people who enjoy selling find it so difficult to sell themselves to prospects? The answer may be that selling and prospecting require two different skill sets. Even those who are good at closing sales never have enough leads. They balk at prospecting. This may seem strange, but it isn't.
