We've all experienced the lack of control you sometimes feel when selling.
You can do everything right, but you simply can't control the end result. Only your prospect can make the purchasing decision.
Of course, there are ways to improve the likelihood that people will want what you're selling by leveraging cognitive bias . You can even train your sales teams' skills and work to improve their sales conversations. This will give you a better chance of closing more deals.
But no matter how hard you try, the outcome is out of your control. Potential customers may decide not to buy. You may have done everything you could, and your product could actually help them. Despite this, some prospects won't buy.
