5 Killer Mistakes -Part 1

Posted by vernonsimpson on February 11, 2013

There are 5 big mistakes you can do that will kill a deal with a big fish. They are:

  1. Not meeting the client’s expectations
  2. Mishandling a client crisis
  3. Taking on more than you can handle
  4. Putting all your eggs in one basket
  5. Up cash creek without a paddle

Any one or combination of these can not only kill the partnership, but have the ability to take down your company as well. We’re going to take a bit of time to talk about each one of these, in this lesson we’ll cover the first two.

Not Meeting Client’s Expectations

It’s essential you give your client’s exactly what you promised during the negotiation portion of your relationship. If an event does happen where there is no way to meet the client’s expectations, not only do you have to find a way to fix the situation, but you also have to find out where it all went wrong.

A couple of things could have contributed to this problem:

  1. Bad salesmanship. This could mean the salesperson was trying too hard to seal the deal and didn’t listen to the client’s needs.
  2. Lack of communication. This breakdown occurs between the salesperson and your operations department.

In order to avoid these mistakes, you need to put a clear plan of action into place that all of your sales staff needs to follow:

  • Think before you speak.
  • Give yourself a break.
  • Perfect your process.
  • Pre-format over-deliverables.
  • Stay hands-on throughout the entire process.
  • Define success.

Mishandling a Client Crisis

Crisis’ will happen, but how you respond and fix them will define your company and interaction with your clients’. You need to respond quickly and effectively. This will help you gain even more trust and confidence from your client.

Some simple tips can help you deal with any client crisis:

  • Take responsibility and apologize no matter who is at fault.
  • Act swiftly and effectively.
  • Step in and take control of the situation.
  • Never point fingers or place blame.
  • Stay in constant communication with your client.
  • Stay calm throughout the situation.
  • Keep your eye on the ball.

Now, that you know the top two mistakes you can make to kill a big fish deal, you’ll know better how to avoid making these mistakes in the first place and know how to put a plan of action into place in case of a crisis.

If you need help with any of this, try our FREE test drive on this site or make an appointment with me In the last post we talked about negotiating with your big fish and how to nurture and build on the relationships you are creating. Today we’ll talk about the power your fish has and how to utilize that for your benefit.

One of the most important aspects of this is to keep your cheerleader cheering. This refers to the ally you created in the company and who needs to stay loyal to you for you to continue a profitable partnership with your fish. You can keep your champion going by offering or doing a number of things to show appreciation. Some of these things are:

  • Share the limelight.
  • Help them; thank their company with new products and services.
  • Emotionally connect them to your company.
  • Know when to leave them alone.
  • Keep your “family” happy.
  • Stay on the front lines.

Now that you have some ideas of how to build solid relationships, you need to seek out people to build these relationships with. These alliances will help you get bigger clients that stay with you forever. You can often get in the door by offering them something in exchange for something they need:

  1. Power
  2. Information
  3. Better work experience

These are all great ways to feed your alliance. You need to go into a relationship considering the things a big fish can offer you besides money. These can include:

  • The opportunity for your business to expand
  • The opportunity to learn from the experience and find ways to grow
  • The opportunity to improve your processes, systems and other means of doing business

These are some of the best ways to keep your alliances going strong and your partnerships fresh and content.

    Joseph R. Biden Jr. promised to be the most pro-labor president in history. He embraced unions more overtly than his predecessors in either party and filled his administration with union supporters. kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvyd.onion Labor seemed to respond accordingly. Filings for unionization elections spiked to their highest level in a decade as did union victories. There were breakthroughs at companies like Starbucks and Amazon and unions prevailed in organizing a major foreign auto plant in the South. A United Automobile Workers walkout yielded substantial contract gains — and images of Mr. Biden joining a picket line. As Donald J. Trump prepares to retake the White House labor experts expect the legal landscape for labor to turn sharply in another direction. Based on Mr. Trump’s first term and his comments during the campaign — including his praise for Tesla’s chief executive Elon Musk for what he said was Mr. Musk’s willingness to fire striking workers — these experts say the new administration is likely to bring fewer challenges to employers who fight unions. kraken ?? ?‚???? ?±???°???·?µ???µ https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad-onion.org

    LSU criticized after bringing caged live tiger into stadium before defeat to Alabama kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvyd.onion No. 15 LSU has been criticized for unveiling a live caged tiger in its stadium for the first time in almost a decade before they were routed 42-13 by No. 11 Alabama in their SEC showdown. Ahead of “The First Saturday in November” a live tiger named Omar Bradley owned by Florida resident Mitchel Kalmanson was brought out in an enclosed cage with a black curtain over it before the stadium lights went dark and a spotlight flashed onto the cage as it was unveiled. https://kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.info kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad onion The tiger laid down and then paced around his cage which was attached to a truck while photographers crowded around it still keeping their distance. After a few minutes the cage was slowly driven off the field at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge Louisiana. LSU has a long tradition of bringing caged tigers into the stadium on gamedays but since 2015 the school has moved away from this and instead keeps its current live tiger mascot named Mike VII in a 15000-square-foot enclosure on campus. But Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry pushed for the return of this tradition much to the frustration of the LSU community which circulated several petitions against the practice which gathered more than 27000 signatures between them by Sunday morning. Footage posted on social media also showed protesters outside the stadium holding placards with slogans including “Justice for Omar” and “Did Tiger King teach us nothin’.” For Landry having a live tiger on the field was all about “tradition” he told FOX News on Friday. “This is about from Mike One through Six we have had a live mascot on the field like many other colleges have before” he said.

    Director Jon M. Chu missed ‘Wicked’ premiere to welcome fifth child kra3 “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu couldn’t attend the film’s premiere in Los Angeles and the reason is quite “wonderful.” Chu shared on his Instagram Stories that he and his wife Kristin Hodge welcomed their fifth child on Saturday writing that he “can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering.” “Magic is in the air” he wrote sharing a photo of Hodge holding their newborn daughter. https://kra19-at.com ?????? ??????? He added a note to his new addition: “Welcome to our world you’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.” “Wicked” stars singer Ariana Grande and Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo star as witches Glinda and Elphaba respectively. The two-part movie is a cinematic adaptation of the famed Broadway musical which is a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” and tells an alternate version of events in Oz before Dorothy’s arrival. Chu may not have been able to physically attend the premiere but his presence was felt. According to footage from inside the theater posted online a video of Chu speaking from the hospital was played before the movie began. “I’ve waited for three years to have this moment to share a movie with you but I’ve waited my whole life to have this moment to have a fifth child right now” he said in the video as the audience was heard collectively “aww-ing” at the sentiment. With a laugh Chu added that “of course this little girl knows when to show up.” Jonathan Bailey Bowen Yang Ethan Slater Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum round out the ensemble cast. Part one of “Wicked” will soar in theaters on November 22. The second film is expected in November 2025.
