People Knowledge Your Number One Asset - Sales Training Volume 1

Gepost door admin op 10/05/2008

No matter what you are selling in today’s market place you will undoubtedly come across many different types of people. They will have varying backgrounds and come from all walks of life. Until you truly understand how to delve into each customers psyche your successes will be limited.

One of the biggest misconceptions in selling today is that product knowledge is your best asset. Now I must tell that I am not saying you do not need to know your product but if product knowledge is all you rely on and you first haven’t leaned your people skills you are going to be very disappointed with your paychecks.

I will give you an example and I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. Back in my days as a car salesman I used to hear several of the other sales people discussing all of the features of our line of products not to mention many other makes and models Oh they could tell you what type of tires every model had and they could recite curb weight, towing capacity you name it. But guess what I out sold them all every month why? Because while they were busy learning about product I was busy learning about my customers.

You see inevitably a lot of prospects already have a very good understanding of your product and what they don’t know I’m sure you are going to educate them but the first thing you need to do is to get to know them. Here’s a fact for you. All people make buying decisions based on emotion. You as a sales person can greatly appeal to these emotions by being genuinely concerned about them. Remember I said genuinely nothing will turn off a perspective customer more than insincerity. You know we have all met the disinterested sales person who you would never buy from.

I am going to tell you something that may leave some of you scratching your head. Don’t try and sell your customer! That’s right I said don’t try and sell your customer. You may first want to express an interest in either their business or some personal interest you have discovered about the customer. Most people will be on their guard when you make a sales call anyway by taking this approach you will catch your customer off guard and more times then not you will totally disarm them. Your first job is to get to know your prospect…

Many of your sales will take more than one visit to close. If you are not persistent and don’t do a good job of following up you are not going to make to many sales. I truly believe that if you treat a customer right the first time they will remember you as the guy that didn’t press for the sale and be glad to see you again.

In the next volume I will discuss some techniques for “Not trying to sell your customer” and still getting them to warm up to you. Happy selling.

How to Sell More by Preventing Motivated Buyers from Calling Your Competition - By: Craig Elias

Gepost door admin op 29/04/2008
Toegevoegd onder: University of Selling

How may sales opportunities started out strong with the customer calling you first only to be lost to a competitor? What happened?

In a previous article “How to Sell More by Becoming a Buyers ‘Emotional Favorite’”, I discussed how to create a value-added relationship with buyers by leveraging your network to address ALL their needs. By creating value beyond what you sell and building a trusting relationship, you maximize the likelihood of the customer calling you first. Being called first gives you an edge over the competition, but it doesn’t guarantee the sale.

Most ’sure thing’ sales are lost because during your initial contact with the customer you failed to help the customer understand that you can address their needs and are capable of delivering the solution. If the customer does not trust in your ability to solve their problem and deliver a solution at minimum risk to their credibility, then the customer will keep searching for a viable alternative. Fail to establish credibility and you force your customers to do the unthinkable: call your competition.

Understanding the Psychology of Buying

The second part of successful selling is what I call ‘First Call Effectiveness’, a critical component in maintaining your emotional favorite status. If you can shift a customer from the searching for a solution to the point where they feel they have a solution, the customer becomes emotionally attached to that solution and moves on to addressing other needs.

The customer begins to emotionally invest in your solution telling their boss or coworkers about how they found the ideal solution. Once they’ve invested in your solution, they can’t choose a different solution until the first solution provider lets them down giving them cause. Additional research is an exercise to justify the soundness of the solution and drive the price down. The next vendor now has to overcome or eliminate that emotional involvement in the initial solution.

Walk a mile in your customers’ shoes

Think of the last time you decided to purchase a specific product or service. With your mind made up, you call your preferred vendor. How quickly does your desire cool if they can’t solve your problem or don’t respond immediately to your request. Like most customers, you probably moved down your mental checklist to the next vendor hoping the competition will value your business.

It happens all the time. Why should you as the customer wait to purchase a product or service from an unresponsive or unknowledgable vendor? You shouldn’t. And your customers won’t either.

Path of Least Resistance Selling

How you react to your customer when they approach you in a favourable buying mood will ultimately determine your success. First Call Effectiveness is a key component to ‘Path of Least Resistance Selling’.

As a sales professional, your job is to remove all barriers to buying. The easier it is to buy your product or service, the more likely the prospect will move forward. Leave your customers waiting for your internal processes to catch up and unless you sell a one-of-a-kind, absolutely must-have product, your prospect will move on or opt not to buy.

How Credibility and Risk impacts Selling

First Call Effectiveness relies on establishing credibility to the point where the customer’s perception of your credibility is greater than their perception of risk of doing business with you. If your potential customers don’t believe in your ability to solve their problems and deliver the solution, they will continue searching for alternatives.

When a customer calls you first, you have a unique opportunity to shape a solution to their problem around what you sell. What starts out as a simple need could expand to an integrated solution given the proper approach and careful research during the first call your customer makes to you.

First Call Effectiveness: Maximizing your Credibility

Rule One: Don’t end the sales call until you have either a) solved the problem or b) established credibility with that customer. For whatever reason, solving the problem immediately may not be possible. In those cases either: 1) ask to put your customer on hold and find a solution or 2) establish your customer’s belief in your ability to deliver a solution and request to call back with an answer within a specified timeframe and make sure you meet or improve upon that delivery date.

Rule Two: The key to establishing your credibility is to engage your customer in problem solving dialogue by asking questions like:
• If we could do A (primary need) and B (secondary need) without C (an undesired outcome), would that be a suitable solution?
• How soon do you need a solution delivered by? If we could deliver our solution in the timeframe you have provided, what would prevent you from buying from us?
• If they say nothing, move on to getting what you need from the customer so you can get started.

Now that the customer is committed to you and your solution, they are unlikely to contact the competition until you have completed designing and pricing the solution and then it’s simply a matter of comparison for good measure. The difference is you had days or weeks to shape and present a solution whereas your competition will be asked to respond immediately.
Maximizing your first call effectiveness will always position you well to win the sale because you’ve made it easy for the customer to choose you and established an emotional barrier for your competition.

Prospecting -The Chinese Definition of Insanity

Gepost door admin op 28/04/2008
Toegevoegd onder: University of Selling

The Chinese definition of insanity is, “Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different.”

How appropriate for Prospecting. I talk with sales people all the time who have trouble with Prospecting, yet continue to Prospect the same way. I don’t bother to ask them why, since that is a bad question for any sales person to ask - it forces someone to defend what they have done, which tends to reinforce their actions - so I simply make a suggestion.

I suggest that they may have more success with their Prospecting efforts if they do their Prospecting differently.

Most of us in sales are taught sales skills all the time, but are never taught how to Prospect. That doesn’t make much sense since Prospecting is the only way we can get into a situation where we can actually use those selling skills!

So most of us are on our own when it comes to Prospecting skills. We need a System for Prospecting. A learnable, repeatable, measurable system that we can use and evaluate easily.

Since most of us are never taught how to Prospect, I find that sales people are open to these new ideas. It will take a commitment on your part, but ROI is great.

Once they learn or create a system, their Prospecting success will show exponential growth.

An additional benefit, we will avoid the hills and valleys of sales by Prospecting on a regular basis, so they always have plenty of prospects in the system to work with.

In conclusion, if your Prospecting efforts are not yielding the results you want and need, stop doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result. Try a System, to show that you are really not insane.

Sell well and often!

1. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to the product. You
could make money selling other people the rights to reproduce
and sell the product. People are always looking for new products
to sell.

2. Giveaway the product for free from your web site. Just
because it won’ t sell doesn’ t mean people won’ t visit your
web site to get it for free. They may see another product you
sell and buy that one.

3. Try auctioning off the product at an online auction. You may
make part of your investment back. If you’ re lucky, you may
even make a profit because people sometimes get into bidding
wars and will bid a higher price than the product is worth.

4. Use the product as a free bonus for another product you sell.
This will increase the perceived value of the product you’ re
selling. People will feel they’ re receiving more for less.

5. Contact businesses with the same target market and see if
they would be interested in using your product as a free bonus
for their product. You could place your ad on the product and
get free advertising.

6. Sell your product to businesses at wholesale cost as a
promotional product. Businesses are always looking for products
they can giveaway to their customers with their advertising on
the product. You could make part of your investment back.

7. Barter your product to other businesses for things you need
for your own business. You could trade for their products or
services. This will save you money and help make up for your
profit loss.

8. You could create an online contest so people could win your
product. This will attract traffic to your web site. You also
could get free advertising by listing it on online contest
directories.

9. If you decide to giveaway the product for free, allow other
people to giveaway the product for free. Place your web site ad
on the product. This will spread your advertising and attract
even more people to your site.

10. Ask businesses with the same target audience if they would
be interested in combining your product with their product. You
could then sell them together as a package deal and split the
profits. You may have better results selling your product this
way.
