When you understand exactly what selling really is; when you have a definition that gets to the heart of the matter, you’ll realize that there is nothing intimidating about it.
Old selling relied more on selling skills (see where the blue is widest) and little rapport and follow-up (see where the blue is narrowest). New selling is just the opposite. Market is now educated
Ability to sell is ability to communicate So what really is communication? It is a two way process….putting it out there and receiving it It is people dependent If didn’t get sale after pitch - then down to communication
Visual – run movies in mind, colours, diags, pictures Auditory – hear, run audio tape in head, ideas in sounds Kines – feelings/internalising vs externalising This is another interesting field and explains why most people were really mediocre at school, where traditionally auditory means are favoured. Build rapport at highest level needs to be in their modality Example buying car Diagram HANDOUT
What modes of communication are most effective? This usually comes as something of a surprise. Kodak – 30’s A lot of sales people focus on words Example – ‘Hi haven’t seen you….’ Tell from body language sales peoples confidence Obviously diff on phone…body language still important
NLP is a growing field of interest to communicators and sales professionals. It is a huge field of study and this isn’t the place to go into too much detail. Started by Grindler and Bandler…such depth people get lost in it…I’m an 80:20 person Body language, toneality and voice (words also) Key is getting rapport with you Not instantaneous 5 – 10 secs (temp check at end of sale) Works at sub concious level. Using natural traits Exercise; chocolate (marks out of 10) Example; Business guru
These allow you to probe a little deeper without appearing rude, pushy or intrusive. Eg; How old are you….use softener
People judge your expertise in areas they don’t understand by your expertise in areas they do Critical to you business But as seems unimportant often hard to find the time to systemize Very efficient - far greater return on investment than most other things in your business Get right – will bring best out in team
First impressions count.
Why do people buy? To satisfy a need to requirement. And upon what do they base their buying decisions? Not on functionality or suitability – that would be the logical thing. But where is the logic in spending $200,000 on a car when one that costs $13,500 will do the job just as efficiently? They predominantly base their buying decisions on emotion. It’s all has to do with egotistical considerations, fashion, status and the like.
Great salespeople don’t have the ‘gift of the gab’ as is commonly believed. They are great listeners. When they do talk, they usually ask questions. They find why people want to buy at the emotional level. Person in control asks the questions Does it come in black or white – what would you like it in?
Your questioning process ends when the prospect turns the process around and asks you a question, to which you now supply the answer. The result here is you get the sale and they let off emotion, in one form or another. (how give answer will determine whether you get the sale) Eg; Can it be delivered on a weds?
Think of your questioning process as a funnel. Start by asking open ended questions; not ones that can be answered with a straight yes or no. Start with a general question and make your questions more specific and details as you progress. Then begin providing solutions and at this point, check their temperature before getting down to details. Eg; open – why do you think you need a business coach?...selling themslves Play dumb – what do you mean by that? How does that affect you?, etc Keep velocity going
Never rattle on. Take it one pace at a time or you will loose your caller.
These allow you to probe a little deeper without appearing rude, pushy or intrusive. Eg; How old are you….use softener
You need to offer your prospect a choice of solutions based on the information they have provided. The idea here is to offer them a choice; either they choose one or they choose the other but they do not choose neither.
Remember, this is the one thing most prospects want to know. Never forget it.
You should always assume that you have the sale. Use positive language and definite words like “we will … we are going to …”
