I send out a lot of estimates and proposals, it is part of what I do everyday. And honestly, we close a nice percentage of those deals, even though I am a horrible sales man. Some of those deals close quickly and some close after over a year after first contact. Why do some deals close quickly and some take years to close?
This week we closed two deals, one was about 5 months of meeting and demoing, while the other were two 10 minute phone calls. Both deals were substantial in dollars, both deals were important to the organization, but one took less a few hours to close and the other took months. Why?
I don't know the answer but I am sure there are many factors. I will list some but if you know of other's do share below.
Why do you think some organizations make decisions quickly, while others can take months or even years?
