One of the most difficult things we deal with as tech companies is trying to sell our services or products to prospective clients Cheap Victor Oladipo Jersey , would you agree? A major problem we face is conveying why our future clients need our services using terminology they will understand and pay attention to. One of the sales secrets I am going to let you in on, is that you can make sales without the client even knowing the name of your product or service or ever saying a word like: Search Engine Optimization, gigabyte, meta tags or even computer.
The minute anyone finds out that you're not only a sales person Cheap Joseph Young Jersey , but a sales person looking to sell them a product, they scream and run for the hills, don't they?
How many of you have opened a phone call to a prospective with something like ?Hello, I was just wondering if you would like to have your website optimized for the search engines?? If you have Cheap Darren Collison Jersey , you probably got a very quick ?No thank you?, CLICK. Opening a conversation is tough I admit, it's like sitting at a bar and making eye contact with that really cute someone over there and not knowing what to say to them to get them interested in you. Being too upfront may cost you and you could get the answer everyone seems to fear, ?No.? Let's look at how to get past this.
Step 1: Never ask a yes or no question.
So long as someone knows you're a sales person and you're out to take their hard earned money Cheap Lance Stephenson Jersey , 90% of the time an automatic ?No.? will be the response to any yes or no question. If you ask a question where the prospect can not say just a simple yes or no to then it opens a conversation in a positive light, an example of this would be ?Hello, My name is Greg and I am calling from Abalone Designs, I was just looking over your web site and was just curious as to what the main purpose of your web site is??
Alright you're in! You didn't get a quick ?No Goodbye!? Instead you got an ?Uhhh well I use it to promote our bed and breakfast to potential clients? Perfect Cheap Paul George Jersey , you already know your service is going to be able to help increase their potential for finding more clients. There is now no excuse to why you shouldn't be able to help your new future client find a service that your company offers.
Step 2: $ervice.
Believe it or not people can see when you are being insincere or just trying to make sale deadlines. The exceptional sales people, the ones we all should strive to be, are the sales people that take pride in not only their company but also their clients and future clients. Offering an exceptional service is the way to become a champion at sales. If you want to take one thing away from this article it's that service is what separates the haves with the have-nots. At Abalone Designs, we pride ourselves in a sales force that finds delight in serving other peoples needs. I recommend you make it a policy for yourself that all your clients and potential clients come first.
First things first Cheap Reggie Miller Jersey , Do what your mother says and treat others how you would like to be treated. Don't be a pushy sales person. Find out the clients needs and wants and find out how you can best give them exactly what they want. Clients don't care that you have sales quotas and that your boss is riding your back. In fact if you're potential client feels that something like that could be a factor or that you say something that reminds them that you are a sales person, unfortunately your time is up and you can kiss the sale good bye. This brings us to our 3rd tip,
Step 3: What not to say.
There are plenty of words and phrases that can cost you a sale. If you remind someone that you are a sales person and not someone trying to give them the best service that you can then once again, kiss that sale good bye. Although there are more sales killing words that I can shake a stick at Wholesale Indiana Pacers Jerseys , I am only going to go over some of the majors.
Cost or price: When people hear cost or price, they automatically think of money coming out from their pocket and into yours. Instead use: investment or total amount. When they hear the word investment they automatically think that their money is going into something that is worth while and will give them a return. The same goes to a monthly payment, use monthly investment or monthly amount.
Buy: No one wants to buy anything in this world; everyone just wants to own it. With the word buy the client thinks of a price and then automatically knows you once again are the evil sales man after their gold. So use the word own. ?If you choose to own this product it will change your life? The client will envision your service or product as if they had already bought it.
Problems and objections: If you think that something is or could be a problem you are already scaring yourself out of buying a product or service. Reassure that this is not a problem but a Challenge. When a client has an objection, let them know that you understand their area of concern and that you assure them that it won't be a problem.
Finally only birds go Cheap: Never refer to your product or service as cheaper than something as that is exactly what your client will think Wholesale Pacers Jerseys , that this product or service is cheap and nobody wants to be sold something cheap. Instead let them know that it is more economical
Step 4: Tickle their Emotions.
I said at the start of the article that you can sell anyone anything without them knowing anything about the product or service, which I swear to you, is the truth. People never seem to buy on just facts alone, they need to be to be enticed.
