IT Sales: Move them From Free to Fee

During your IT sales consultation, you will likely be asked to take a look at something else while you’re there. So, what do you do? You don’t want to offer free services forever, but how do you move from free to fee?

If you’re doing a technology assessment, make sure that you keep it basic. Only conduct very low risk exploratory work so that a prospect can’t accuse you of breaking their system. Instead of taking a look and possibly messing something up, move them from free to fee.
