Sales Made Simple™ I'd like to see the "dead-end" sign!

A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I recently called on one of the larger prospects for several weeks before they told me their purchasing function was centralized in their corporate office - which is far out of my territory.

Sales Made Simple™ Stakeholders won't give me straight answers...

A salesperson asks our sales expert a common problem (especially for new sales people): "I know that probing is critical in developing a strong value proposition so I do ask a lot of questions.

So do you think I should change my approach?"
