Assignment: Reviewing a Sales Call for Improvement

In every sales call there are objectives to be reached by both the buyer and seller. The buyer and seller are likely both skilled in presenting their situation and needs to best reach their own objectives. Learning to negotiate and uncover win-win sales situations will help develop a sounder working relationship for future negotiations. After every sales situation, the seller should review the entire process and evaluate how they might have improved their presentation for more effective negotiation.
