In this day and age where technology is deeply integrated into the fabric of the sales industry, it is easy to think that sales professionals are already having the time of their life. With sales platforms that can even be deployed on smartphones, many people think that the job of salespeople these days have become much easier. But while there is some truth to it, the opposite can still be said in certain sales activities – such as when identifying if someone is a prospect or a suspect.

Measuring and identifying the real value of someone who engaged in a business can be a real challenge, especially if the sales representative don’t have the proper sales training on how to differentiate a prospect from a suspect. Defining these two categories is crucial to the overall efficiency and success of a sales organization. Fortunately, there are common tell-tale signs which sales professionals can easily familiarize themselves on.
