What if a lead asks for pricing before a call?

Explain that pricing is customized based on specific needs and requirements. Offer to discuss this in detail during the scheduled call where we can better understand their unique situation.

How do I handle negative responses?

Thank them for their time, ask if you may keep in touch for future opportunities, and update their status in the CRM. Sometimes "not now" can become "yes" in the future.

What if I'm having technical issues with the CRM?

Contact technical support immediately and document your activities separately until the issue is resolved. Transfer any offline records to the CRM once it's functioning again.
