Do you ask questions so you can discover what technology solution you should recommend to your prospect? Most sales professionals have some type of discovery process so you can help guide a sale and advise customers to make a favorable decision.
First, Stop Doing This During Your Solution Sale
However, do you offer your prospects every payment option on the menu when it comes to how they can pay? Perhaps your strategy is to not tell them about any option and make them figure out what is best for them on their own? You would never layout a $300,000 voice, video, and data solution, knowing they only need a $15,000 telephony equipment solution.

Therefore, why do most IT solution sales AEs do this when it comes to addressing how to pay?
