The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III: Every salesperson loses deals. It happens to beginners and seasoned professionals alike. The difference isn't whether you lose a sale—it's what you do next. Too many salespeople simply move on to the next prospect without taking advantage of one of the greatest learning opportunities they'll ever have.

Show Notes

Every salesperson loses a sale from time to time. The real question is: what do you do next? Instead of simply moving on, the best sales professionals take time to learn from the experience.


We'll discuss how to professionally ask a prospect why they chose another direction, what to listen for beyond the obvious answers, and why honest feedback is one of the best sales training tools you'll ever have. We'll also talk about conducting your own debrief, documenting what happened while it's still fresh, and why today's "no" can become tomorrow's "yes" if you handle the relationship the right way.


As Ben often reminds us, "A lost sale isn't a failure—it's an opportunity to become a better salesperson and lay the groundwork for future business."
