Overnight gas price hike shown at a Chicago area BP-Amoco station (background) on August 12, 2005. The Shell station (foreground) has not yet posted the 12 cent price hike.Image via WikipediaGasoline prices continue to rise. What affect does that have on your sales? Are you looking at it negatively or using the current situation to make you a better sales person?

Here are three skills you can improve that will help offset the rising gasoline prices:

1. Spend time clarifying who’s your target market. By getting clear you will be more focused on who exactly would be a good match for your product or service and you will spend less time and gas chasing after poor propects.

2. Become more diligent at pre qualifying your prospects before you meet them at also when you meet them. This will help you to know if they have a need and you should close the sale or whether you should spend the time following up if you don’t close the sale.

3. If number 1 and 2 are done properly and you have a valid prospect, you owe it to them to close the sale. Don’t take no for an answer.

You should already have mastered these three skills, however, if you haven’t “when would now be a good time” to master them.
