When does it usually occur? After your presentation.
Probable Cause: Buyer does not believe s/he has enough authority to move the project forward or is unsure how to proceed..
Objective: Identify the key decision-makers in this sale and create coaches and champions.

This is a very unique strategy that consistently allows additional progress to be made. Use a transition sentence, then simply breakout your standard strategic sales plan that includes the list of steps in the sales process for this prospect or project.

So, getting it through the system always depends on getting satisfactory answers to these questions, for example...". Now review the critical questions like those related to ROI, ROR, and ROA.
