Closing THAT Sale

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 5:29 AM [General]

    QUESTION OR MINOR POINT A great technique when for example, the customer is having difficulty choosing an option presented to them, or they just can't make up their mind or you don't want your potential client to miss out on your "limited availability special offer". You have a good rapport with the client, you have spoken over coffee, maybe got to know each other, mixed business with learning about their family and hobbies. You know this person would be ok with the direct approach. So just come straight to the point: "Ok Bill, so how would you like your website to look, and when would you like it to be published by? We ask for 50% payment up front". "Looks like we can help you Helen, when would you like us to start?" DIRECT So how do you give the best pitch? Confidence and belief in yourself and the product you are selling. You must know your product or service inside out... So you start by telling people who you are and who you are representing - you may get told "Oh, I've heard of you, but you are really expensive",Cheap Paul Krause Jersey, or "oh I'm not interested, I'm going to stick with the people I've used before", or just "Not interested". So how do you deal with the first response from your potential customer. ALTERNATIVE Use a question to close: they may ask "Do you guarantee to make me a certain additional profit?" you respond with the question "How much extra profit would you like to make Jim?" making the client feel like he is controlling the conversation and in charge - in reality you are. You keep this up until the client signs. Avoid answering the question with a single statement like "5%" By asking questions, you force a decision from them. Useful when your customer just requires a little nudge t order, or you know they want your services but are still iffing and areing, or you want to continue rapport through the ordering stage therefore making it less direct and more informal. Alternatively, pick up on a point that the client has shown interest in and use it as the focus of the conversation... "So you liked the Calendar option that we can add to the website?" or "What is the company's unique selling point? Would you like us to make this the main focus of your website?" FEAR You will find that one of these four options will close a sale for you. Go on give it a go! Once you've got your customer hooked, you need to close. A true salesman can sell all day long, but knows the point that he needs to close. There are I can see 4 ways to close a sale: The response of being really expensive I have had a lot when selling services of others. Potential clients seem to hear the word "Consultant" and the £ signs flash before their eyes - panic stricken you hear the fear in their voice! Its easy to catch them though, because you say in a reassuring voice...."we give the best price for the service we offer, you will get... " and you go onto explain what they get for their money before you give the price. On giving the price (so long as you have done the first bit well!) you should hear the wonderfully positive "Hmmmm! That's actually not too bad" or "Oooh I thought it would be a lot more than that". I have also sold websites in this way - people will think that buying websites is expensive,NFL Lights Out Black Jerseys, but when you tell them they can have a functioning website that will sell their company for as little as £160, they are instantly interested as people have an idea that websites cost thousands!!! In the same way that people think consultants cost thousands! Once they find out how affordable you are, then they prick up their ears. How do i do it? I get them hooked,Cheap DeMarcus Ware Jersey, by going into great detail about how my service works, and about what I can provide them with. I tell them what they get for their money. I explain how I work, and I explain how I deal with people who will benefit from my service - above all I am honest in my approach - everybody respects honesty more than anything else. The way it works is that you have to take a deep breath and then get your sales pitch out without letting the disinterested party speak. You study the body language, and facial expression, and the minute you see a raised eyebrow or a relaxed posture you know that you have the in your grasp. If they try for a lower price, be honest and tell them that you cannot do that, and remind them of the value for money they are getting - better product, better price and guaranteed satisfaction or price. It will be something that they find very hard to resist at least trying! When you get the potential customer who is sticking with who they use, that's loyalty, and that's hard to break. You can however ask "why?" a better but less direct question (although more open and honest) is "Is there anything I could do to give you a better service than they do?" or "What do they do for you?" - you can say that this will give you something to aim for or a better idea of how you need to improve your service! They will normally be quite happy to tell you at length what they are getting - you must listen VERY carefully (they will say it only once!) and at some point they will say something that you can pounce on....they give you 10% discount because you rebook? We will give you 20%! That kind of thing. In order to get the business sometimes you need to sacrifice a little... I have given my service at 50% discount before,for two reasons - one is to get work (we all need to pay the bills) the other is to gain reputation and just prove my sales pitch to be true - sometimes its worth it to get the follow on business. I once did a job for a nursery at 50% of the normal price and at the end of that job, they rebooked the service for full price! This has got me respect from customers and I now find that I have previous customers pushing my business as hard as I am!!! This means that people's first judgement of my service is positive - wow this guy must be good "so and so says so". I also have ex clients coming to me with names - "this lady wants to book a birthday party - i know shes looking at somebody who is charging £110" (with this I have already got info to work on when I make my call - I know its a party, and I know my price must be below £110 - I can DEFINITELY close this with one call!) or i will get "these are having a summer fair or promotional event, they mentioned a service like yours - i gave them your details." You call and although not expected its a warm call, because they are talking about your service - you save them the trouble of looking because you are first in (the old adage of "its not what you know its who you know"). Getting the sale is the hard part, closing it is the easy bit:) You have to give the buyer confidence in what they are buying, and confidence that you "own" the product. More over, you have to show the buyer that your product is better than all of the others he is looking at. That is the key to closing - your product must be THE BEST and in order to show that, your pitch must be THE BEST!!! When using FEAR, you emphasize the loss of benefits if the client does not order now: "This offer is only available until the weekend / the month and after that you will need to pay full price" or "There are just 10 places on this workshop, and only 3 are left - you really don't want to miss this"or "I cannot guarantee the place will be available when I call back in half an hours a time, so it would be best if you secured it now!" etc This is useful, when your client is having difficulty in deciding what they want from you and you have had to go over every option 2 or 3 times. You therefore need to narrow down the choice FOR them and clarify the detail. You must ask clarifying questions: "How many pages do you want on your website?" or "Which area of the company would you like us to target first?" "Where do the biggest problems lie?" etc, until you have before you a list which can constitute an order for your services "Sign here Bob" Closing sales....well where do I start? "Not interested": hmmm, difficult, this is the worst response you could get. Your answer should NOT be "OK". You must continue to push - you may know that they use what you are selling - be proactive and tell them that yours is better than what they currently use. Say something like "So are you fully satisfied with your current supplier? What if I were to offer you a satisfaction guarantee?" or "What if I gave you a price promise for the next 12 months - better product, better price?" You know your product and you know the pricing structure you are working too - you can therefore give them a price that works for you both! I have had this with my current business - my main competitor had previously supplied my potential customer with my service for £10 cheaper than my price, so not only did I match my competitors price, but undercut it by a further £10. I was still able to make a good profit and I took the booking, which will lead to a further 8 bookings in this 12 months as I gave a price promise to keep this price for that period, so long as they committed to the 8. Win win situation. I have taken 10 different bookings from my main competitor by doing this, in a 6 week time period so I know it works.

    4 Calling Script Lies - Preventing Your Success

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 5:28 AM [General]

    It's just a numbers game,Cheap Steven Jackson Jersey Far too often people will use your time and pump you for information with no intention of making an investment in you. Instead of being helpful consider focusing on interviewing the prospect to see what they really need. Certainly you want to make more than one phone call to a prospect who has demonstrated some interest, but the real key with persistence is to have a follow up process that's effective. For example is each conversation moving them closer to a purchase? Or are they stringing you along to be polite? The wrong persistence just wastes your time. Certainly in any business making sales and a high net income is about numbers, but what "numbers" should you focus on. Some people mistakenly count the number of dials that you make as an indication of success. Building rapport is what many sales professionals and owners are taught to do in order to "get the sale". The reality is that your prospect doesn't care about you and asking questions about their family, goals, etc won't magically make them want to make a purchase. Instead of wasting time building rapport, consider asking powerful interest peaking questions which will get them to see how your product or service can help them. Getting them to come to the realization that what you are offering is the right fit is what will get you the sale, not rapport. I invite you to consider the following lies of calling scripts to help you get more conversions from your calls today: Wrong,Cheap Chuck Foreman Jersey! There are powerful techniques to making calls which will get prospects to pull out their credit card and then there are lies that have been taught to unsuspecting business owners for years. The truth of the matter is it's NOT your fault,Cheap Bob Griese Jersey! Top "gurus" and trainers who have not served their time in the trenches have been spreading lies about what will lead to conversion. You need to build rapport Persistence pays off Whether you are making 50 calls a day or 200 calls a day if you are using the wrong call scripts it doesn't matter. Far too often professionals are headed east looking for a sunset which keeps them in an endless cycle of frustration. Calling prospects from your marketing efforts is a proven method for making sales monthly. Whether people are "just interested" or are looking to make a purchase the right calling scripts will mean the difference between you closing the deal or hanging up the phone wondering what happened. Being helpful gets you business This is one of the great lies of conversion and call scripts. Many people are taught to just keep going and it will work out. Popular sayings like don't just make "1 call to a prospect, make 12". The thought is that with enough follow up you will get the sale. Whether you are selling to businesses or to customers, many professionals think being helpful is the way to get sales. Of course, customer service is job#1, but that won't get you the sale. You can only be helpful once they are your client!

    Sales Process 101 - Why You Must Have One to Win in the Game

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 5:28 AM [General]

    We're just scratching the surface here. There's plenty more where that came from, so if you haven't considered having a sales process, now's the best time to do so. A sales process is also important because it determines your sales work flow-and we all know that organization is the key in this business. Such process will serve as your guide as you move through the sales tunnel, helping you navigate your way as your leads move to being qualified prospects, to being fully recognized clients, and then finally, reaching the closing of a sale. The typical sales process will feature a break down or map of processes,Cheap Bernard Berrian Jersey, with stages defining each step of the sales progression. As with any type of map or guide, the process will also help in making sales forecasts or predictions. Of course, today's technology-driven world means that all these tools and information will be consolidated into one automatic system, thus reducing the amount of time spent on looking up specific stages of the process. Better inter-department efficiency - It makes it significantly easier to bring in people from other company departments and have them support the sales team. Sales of course, can benefit from other sectors of a company or organization, such as operations, customer service, marketing, and more. Means of Navigation Too While a sales process may be considered by many as a kind of sales technique, similar to push selling,Cheap Mike Ditka Jersey, spin selling and other types of sales strategies, it is actually a totally different facet of sales. Sales process is a factor which every good company, and salesperson for that matter, need to have a deep understanding of. In fact, I think it's crucial if you want to boost your sales performance and speed up your growth. Mastering such process and being able to define it clearly is imperative, as the process, once perfected, is a sequence of techniques and moves that you'll be repeating over and over again. This is to ensure that you can get the same consistent results. What Is a Sales Process? Benefits Make no mistake about it, sales is a science, just as much as it is in many ways, an art. A sales process involves varying aspects, but its nature will largely depend on your selling model. Does your model involve transactions? Or does it involve enterprise? Perhaps consultations are what you specialize in? There are plenty of sales models out there, and your sales process will largely depend on the nature of the business you're in. Makes training and hiring sales people faster - A sales process can help make the training of new sales people easier and faster, thus enabling them to produce sales much quickly than ever. Faster growth - A good sales process saves time, which is better spent on doing more important things. So let's get down to the good stuff. If you're still unconvinced about the importance of this process,Cheap Darren Sharper Jersey, perhaps the benefits of having one will be enough to change your mind. Allow me to enumerate a few of these perks.

    2. Protect yourself against fraud. Learn how to protect yourself from fraud especially if you are purchasing products from the internet. Before you make a deposit, do a background check. Be very careful when the person you are dealing with doesn't have enough positive feedback from his previous clients or new in the business. If possible, use escrow services that are available in the internet for your protection. Avoid paying through wire transfer upfront. 3. If you are the seller, it is also important that you protect yourself from fraud. Before you ship your items, make sure that your clients have put in the full amount on escrow service or have at least deposited 50% of the product price. Do not accept COD as a mode of payment -- it's simply risky. You can accept bank transfer though as it is fast and efficient. Check with your bank if the payment has been received and don't rely solely on write transfer slips. 4. If people are offering you a deal that is too-good-to-be-true then, it's probably is. Be wary of deals that are extremely unbelievable even with those people that you have done business with before. If you are in doubt,Washington Redskins Jerseys, do a background check or contact other people that have already purchased from the seller. Do not send payment upfront to avoid being scammed. Even before the advent of the eBay and the internet, there were already a lot of people who were making fortunes in buying and selling all sorts of products. The idea here is to buy an item at a lower price and improve it so you can sell it at a higher price to gain profits. 1. Buy only products that are salable or have viable market. Obviously, you do not want to be stuck with products that nobody wants to purchase. So,Cheap Antonio Brown Jersey, put your hands only on those items that people are most likely to spend their money on. If you have specific target market in mind, you can buy products that will meet their needs and demands. For example; if you are targeting those people who are car enthusiasts, you can purchase car accessories or any items related to cars to increase your chances of making a sale.

    Door to Door Sales - Closing Secrets

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 5:27 AM [General]

    Another important facet of a reason to buy in door to door sales is that it must end right now. Not soon, right now. Let's look at an example that does not involve a discount at all. I trust you appreciate the difference and see the benefit these reasons give you. It helps you lead your customer to the right decision. I hope you see how a good reason to buy now will help your door to door sales. If this happens to you more than you would like in door to door sales, you are most likely missing a reason to buy now. Unless you have a good one,Cheap Donald Driver Jersey, why should they buy today? What's the rush? Why not think it over? Door to door reasons to buy now have a bad reputation because weak salespeople often misuse them. Many salespeople use the same old, "It's the last one" or "The price is going up". One of my door to door sales training customers emailed for help with a common sales problem..."I got my door to door customers interested but they wouldn't buy it." This happens a lot and it ends many careers for those who cannot get past it. For others, it limits their earnings to the few people who are willing to go ahead. Let's assume you sell something that a consumer has told you they want before Thanksgiving. A weak salesperson will tell them, "No problem, we can install that tomorrow." A stronger salesperson might say, "Thanksgiving? I am sorry but we are already booked. We could install it the first week of December." Pause and wait for them to realize they won't be getting it in time. Then you might say,Cheap Washington Redskins Jerseys, " I have a customer scheduled this week who doesn't really care if they get it installed before the holidays or not. I am not sure I can do this, but I'll try to get their date switched for yours. Our scheduling meeting takes place first thing tomorrow, so it's good I can still get your order tonight. I'll write "Must be installed before Thanksgiving" on your order and I'll get the paperwork started. This is just one example. The reason to buy that will unlock the sale for you could be a discount, it could be a special installation team,Cheap Prince Amukamara Jersey, it could be a special interest rate or it could be an accessory. Whatever reason you use, make sure it is something that the customer told you was very important to them. One of the secrets to great door to door reasons to buy now is that you must customize it to something your customer is interested in. The reason has to solve a problem they told you they have. How do you find their problems? By asking them.

The majority of businesses are struggling, and all looking for advice on how to increase sales. Taking some precautions and getting the guidance of professionals could help you to prevail in an economic downturn. Finding ways to increase sales in an economic downturn is easier said then done. When the money gets tight, and credit tough to come by, the typical consumer tightens up, thereby reducing your profits. Here are some helpful tips that might help boost sales. Somebody has to be doing something right in this tough market. True there are many businesses that are trying to increase sales,San Diego Charger Jerseys, but there are others that are striving.

    A Great Sales Career Opportunity For the 50-Plus Set

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:15 AM [General]

    During our on-air chat, he asked listeners to call in with reasons NOT to pre-plan. No one could. It just made too much sense. Benjamin Franklin, it is said, used to make a list on paper when he was faced with a tough decision. He'd list the pros and cons of each option, and compare them. On the funeral/cemetery pre-need question,Albert Haynesworth titans Jersey, one caller did say "Well, I have your reason not to pre-plan! I don't have the money for the monthly payments!". The funeral guy was ready: "Then, what will you do if something happens tomorrow and you have to come up with $5,000, instead of just a couple hundred a month?". The moment was pure epiphany. I was hosting my daily talk show on northwest Oklahoma FM radio in 1985, and during my daily "Business Beat" noon hour segment, my first guest was a local all-lines insurance broker. He was followed by a funeral home owner. What could be the connection? That answer determined my eventual career calling. When costs of funerals and interment, thanks to land and water costs, and increasing state regulations and consumer watchdogs, rising about 10% per year, how can you NOT take care of your eventual needs now, locking in today's prices? One cemetery in east San Diego County is on the route to a gambling casino, and every day buses roll by filled with people who will drop hundreds of dollars on one-armed bandits, but won't spend $150-200 a month for just a few years because they "can't afford it". And,Cheap Marvin Harrison Jersey, compared to the casino, the cemetery their shuttle bus rolls by is an absolute sure bet. "We joke that it takes a certain alignment of the planets for people to finally take that step to come in and take care of this, but in my years, I've never once seen a buyer who later regretted preplanning. Why don't we go ahead and get that protection going for you?". In closing, think of this: The baby boomers have always been the largest chunk of the American population, since World War II ended in 1945. All of those returning servicemen got busy making babies, which is why school construction exploded; suburbs popped up where farm fields once stood; colleges and rebellion peaked in the 1960s, and Social Security will be bankrupted by our massive demands on the system. The oldest boomers turned 65 this year, and millions more will turn 65 every year for the next 15 years. The funeral director was not upstaging the insurance man. He said "Your insurance guest provides a very, very valuable service. If you paid for insurance every year for life, and never once filed a claim, would those premiums have been wasted? Of course not! Because they gave you the peace of mind to live a full life, without worrying about being devastated by an accident,Cheap Anthony Davis Jersey, or theft, or injury, or fire." If you're over 50, and have a wealth of life and career experience that makes you capable of talking to older folks and sharing memories and conversation, you may want to consider a job in funeral and cemetery sales. One thing's for sure: You'll never run out of customers. He was on a roll, so I let him go on. "Imagine you're shopping for a new car, but you're only given 24 or 48 hours tops to make a decision and completely pay for a new car. How good a choice could you make? Would it really be what you wanted for the long haul?". Because death is one topic people scrupulously avoid talking about, few people keep pace with the ever-increasing costs of funerals and interment. Everyone knows the approximate cost of a new car or a neighborhood house, because they always hear about them. But....are you even aware that there are five costs associated with EVERY cemetery property purchase? Do you know, or can you even estimate, the costs of each? Probably not. The loss of a loved one is NOT the time to be hit with "sticker shock"....but it happens daily, as the cost one pays for not facing this inevitable part of life long before fate forced them to. In his field, he encountered, every single day, "at-need" families who wandered in in shock, reeling not only from grief and loss, and wondering how their world would ever recover, but now they were stepping into the lion's den of economics: How much will this funeral and interment cost us? "The difference between his insurance and my preneed protection is twofold: You're flat-out guaranteed to cash in on preneed; and if you finance it, you'll only pay for a few years, instead of for life. And, one thing your life insurance just cannot do is all of the tasks and decisions you'll face on the days during and following the death of a loved one." Even when a couple finally does face their mortality and come in to talk about buying preneed, they're still often reluctant to pull the trigger. One of my employers used to help them over that hurdle by simply saying "I don't want to sound like a pushy car salesman, but I do have to remind you that right now, you're as close as you'll ever get to finally getting this done. My worry for you is that, since you already stated you like our park and the costs of locking in today's prices with easy payments is far superior to paying lump sum many from now, that you'll go home and forget about this important decision. I'll see you again in the future....but it will be with only ONE of you, since the other will be in a casket at a funeral home. And, the survivor will NOT relaxed and rational like you both are right now, but stressed, emotional, grieving, and frightened. D. J. Fone As soon as the all-lines insurance guy got up from his seat during a commercial break, the funeral home guy sat down. He told me, the moment I asked him on the air about how business is, "You know, D. J., the insurance man who just left here provides valuable services that protect thousands of people from the unexpected; what we hope does NOT happen in life. What I do is protect pre-planners from the worst parts of what WILL happen in life." When these golden agers start dying, where will they go? Even if every single one opted for cremation, there simply will not be room in many local cemeteries (especially here in San Diego County, where only one new cemetery has been built in the last 40 years). One reason so many existing cemeteries sell preneed so aggressively is so they can acquire additional land nearby to expand, to handle the flood of boomers buying the farm.

    Give Customers Bad News Faster!

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:15 AM [General]

    No normal person wants to be the bearer of bad news. Human nature shies away from this task. When I started in sales, I did not realize I was doing this. I was in high school, working at a gas station that rented U-Haul trucks and trailers. The owner did a nice job of training me, but I worked some of the slower hours, and would spend time reading the U-Haul manual. I learned the nuances of the rate charts,Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys, including surcharges. We had a competitor in town and potential customers would call both of us looking for quotes. The price they received from me was often higher, and yet they would still rent from us. On many occasions, they told the owner that they came to us after they spoke with both dealers because they realized that our high price was the accurate price. We had nothing hidden, no surprise surcharges, all costs explained. They received the total cost of the rental, good or bad, upfront. In your career, you will have many occasions where you need to impart bad news. Do it. Do it quickly and do it professionally. But most importantly, Give Customers Good News Fast and Bad News Faster! One of the best pieces of advice I received was to Give Customers Good News Fast and Bad News Faster,Cheap Troy Aikman Jersey! As my business career progressed,Cheap T.J. Ward Jersey, I had many occasions where it was necessary to deliver bad news to a customer. The most serious of these was when a colleague and I went into a major North American manufacturer a few hours after a major equipment breakdown at one of our plants. We told them that we potentially might be unable to supply a key component for one of their most profitable product lines for 3 months. We gave them the worst scenario first. We expected to be carried out of there on stretchers. Instead, after a stunned silence, the group began to brainstorm options to keep the component moving to them from other, still to be approved, locations. After a couple of hours of working on our options, we left with an action plan. We also left with the thanks of our customer for getting with them so early in the process and allowing them to develop options while there was still time to act.

    Don't Be Linked Out - 8 Ways Salespeople Can Use Social Medi

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:15 AM [General]

    5. Avoid chats and private messages altogether: 1. Get to know your customers: As with all things in sales, the better records you keep, the more money you are going to end up making. If any of the actions on this list prompt you to notice something new about one of your potential customers, or spot an opportunity for future sale, make sure to mark it down elsewhere. The last thing you want is to spend time online finding the key to opening accounts, and then forget it. 8. Integrate social media with your contact manager: 3. Set a time limit: Decide how much time you have spend on social media today, and then stick to it. As I mentioned, it's easy for time to slip away when you're online, so make a point of only using as much as you need. 4. Don't give the hard sell: I'm having a little bit of fun, obviously, but hopefully you see what I'm getting at. As an online medium, not to mention a way of staying in touch with friends and family,Atlanta Falcons Jerseys, social networking is unparalleled. Never before has it been so easy to keep tabs on our loved ones, and share bits of our lives with them. As a business tool, though, and especially one for salespeople, it still has a ways to go. In the old days, you had to do something close to digging through your client's garbage to find out their birthday, what school they went to, and so on - at least if you didn't know them well enough to ask. Now, however, most information can become social network files. Find it and use it. Like your customer's website, their social networking profiles probably contain dozens of pieces of information that can help you understand their needs and wants better. And, like those other pieces of public information, your competition probably won't make the effort to find and read them. Get informed and set yourself up. 6. Spy on the competition: 7. Track old prospects: In fact, if you have something to say, say it in an e-mail or a phone call. That way, if your client or prospect replies with something important, you can store the message with all of your other business communications, not to mention that you'll seem more professional. Sending unsolicited Facebook and LinkedIn messages inviting people to "buy now" is the modern equivalent of spam, or telemarketing people at dinnertime. These tactics aren't just annoying - they are a complete waste of time. Social media represents something of an online revolution. I know this because I read it in the papers every day. Of course,Cheap Terrelee Pryor Jersey, I don't actually know anyone who has made a big sale, opened the large account, or otherwise transformed their sales career by spending a lot of time on Facebook, but I'm sure the news is coming any day now... I'm not saying that sites like LinkedIn and Facebook can't be valuable to salespeople, only that they need to be efficient when they use them. It's easy for time to fly by when you're clicking profiles and checking out pictures; but those are also minutes and hours that could have been spent meeting customers, writing proposals, and serving your existing clients. 2. Gather precious intel before calls and meetings: With that in mind, here are eight ways salespeople can use social media effectively and efficiently: I've never been a big believer in the old "buy or die" philosophy, but with social media,Cheap Barrett Ruud Jersey, it doesn't take any real effort to stay in touch with clients that got away, or prospects that never closed. Keep them on your list of friends and associates, if you can, and you'll be better positioned if another opportunity comes up in the future. In most industries, you already have a pretty good idea of who else is chasing your prospects and accounts. Take advantage of the windows social networking provides, and keep an eye on the other sharks in the water - especially if they seem to be cozying up to your best clients.

    Selling Your Services - How You Can Become Invincible

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:14 AM [General]

    Here's the secret. The easiest most effective way to become invincible is to become like a mirror. I don't mean that idiotic practice of mimicking your prospect. I mean sincerely reflecting exactly what the prospect desires back to them. What you may not have noticed about those strangers you immediately connected with was the fact that they were focused on you. You felt understood, appreciated, and respected. You felt like that total stranger really got you where you were, that my friend is the mark of someone who has mastered the art of selling without acting like a jerky sales person. Even though you would expect an awkward brief encounter with this person things felt natural from the onset,Cheap John Lynch Jersey, and you didn't want this encounter to be a one-time event. You wanted that initial connection to extend into a long-term relationship. Even though you may think the people I just described above have some special ability or natural charisma you would be wrong. You know why introverts out sell extroverts hands-down day-in and day-out? Introverts outsell extrovert's hands-down because they become a looking glass for the prospects they talk to. While the extrovert is focused on themselves and what they are going to say or do next, those quite top producers are focused on the prospect and understanding exactly what they are communicating. Have you ever met someone and in a short amount of time felt like you had known them your entire life? Have you ever encountered a complete stranger and felt like you were more in tune with that person than people you have known your entire life? In fact, you can put this little secret to work for you almost immediately even if you have never formally sold a single thing in your life. Lack of previous sales experience just means you won't have to unlearn the things you were taught,Cheap Steven Jackson Jersey, or break the bad habits you developed from your sales training. A lack of the typical sales training actually works to your advantage. There's a little understood secret that can make you and your business virtually invincible. This secret will help you dominate the competition, make selling almost effortless, and gain you all the clients you want. Best of all, you don't even need to be good at selling to use it. While many people think the best sales people are those gregarious life-of-the-party types who talk a mile a minute the facts prove otherwise. Did you know the top sales people in any industry selling any product or service are those quite guy-next-door type folks who are much more introverted than your average person. Yes,Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys, it's true.

    Generating Sales Leads - The Pros and Cons of Cold Calling

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:14 AM [General]

    Cost Effective Method: For the most part, cold calling to generate leads is a relatively cost effective solution. How so? You don't have to spend much time or energy. It is easy to collect phone numbers (which you will see below). Most of your time will be spent on the phone. If you or your business have a good phone plan, these sales pitches via phone should not cost you any extra. The Pros Easy to Get Phone Numbers: As previously stated, it is easy to get your hands on some phone numbers for cold calling for the purpose of generating sales leads. What can you do? While you can buy a sales lead list with phone numbers,Cheap Mario Manningham Jersey, this will cost money. Have an opt-in on your website for visitors to receive customer service calls. Or, do something simple, free,Cheap Rex Grossman Jersey, and easy; hit up your phone book! The Cons Are you a small business owner who is looking to generate sales leads? While you have a lot of choices, many businesses lean towards cold calling. This is basically when you pick a number out of a phone book or from a sales lead list and start making calls. Does this work? Sometimes. Before you make your decision, keep these cold calling pros and cons in mind. Risky: Cold calling, as with most other methods of generating sales leads can be risky. You run the risk of enraging potential customers. Some individuals hate receiving sales pitches out of nowhere. Others don't normally mind these calls but hate when they come in the middle of dinner. Eliminate the risks by trying to do some research first; find your targeted market (people who want what you have). Then, plan your call times wisely and then don't lay the sales pitch on too thick. Time Consuming: While actually generating a list of phone numbers and while making those calls is going to be pretty affordable or even free, you should take into account the time spent. Hopefully it is going to be time spent wisely and not time wasted. Don't rush your sales calls, but keep in mind that time is money. If your cold calling isn't paying off,Cheap Mike Wallace Jersey, it might be within your best interest to examine other methods of generating sales leads.

    Sales Lessons - Important 25 Years Ago, Critical Today

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:14 AM [General]

    Clutching my shoe box of record cards I jumped into my battered Triumph Acclaim and began visiting customers and prospective customers. I would turn up every two weeks at an existing customer, build the relationship with them, take orders and sell them new products. For those visits to prospective customers, more often than not I wouldn't get to see anyone, but always left a business card, some promotional literature and if possible had a chat with the receptionist. I inherited a territory along with a shoe box full of 6"x4" record cards, on which were the details of my customers and prospective customers, neatly sorted into weekly call rotas. My sales training was provided by a larger than life sales manager who drove a Mark 1 Vauxhall Carlton, the interior of which resembled a mix of overflowing ashtray and waste paper bin. He passed on to me pearls of wisdom, like where to buy the best sandwiches for lunch and most importantly, being on the road so much,Cheap Torry Holt Jersey, where you could stop for a 'comfort break'. He was a great relationship builder and his light-hearted approach to life and doing business endeared him to his customers and enabled him to always over achieve his goals. One particular prospective client in London, whom I had visited many times without ever meeting the buyer, finally gave me an audience. We chatted and they actually placed a small order, the first business we had ever booked with that company. When I was wrapping the meeting up, I asked the buyer why they had agreed to see me this time? They opened the draw next to their desk and took out a bundle of about 15 of my business cards, "you have been so persistent, that I felt like I had to give you a chance". Over the following months that buyer became my biggest customer. I would welcome your thoughts and comments. My first expedition into the world of sales was selling stationery and legal forms to solicitors in London and the home counties. Although it doesn't seem that long ago, back then we didn't have access to things we take for granted now, like mobile phones, email, voicemail and the internet. Telephone, fax and letters where the 'weapons of choice', national exhibitions were prevalent and well attended and salespeople were road warriors,Cheap Josh Beekman Jersey, clocking 40-60K miles a year (petrol was 38p a litre!). 1986 was designated the International Year of Peace by the United Nations. France and the UK announced plans to construct the Channel Tunnel. 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco reached #1 in 9 countries. Prince Andrew,Cheap Aaron Maybin Jersey, Duke of York, married Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey and I began my career in sales. Whilst technology and markets have certainly changed, the lessons of consistency and persistence remain relevant. I would suggest they are even more relevant now, with multiple communications channels and highly competitive markets, making consistency of messaging and persistence of sales efforts critical to success.

    3 Fast Upsell Tips - Increase Your Revenue on Every Sale

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:14 AM [General]

    2. Your Upsell must make sense to the buyer. If you are buying a salad at a restaurant would it make sense for your waitress to ask if you would like fries on the side? No, because the upsell doesn't match the initial purchase. There is a strand of logic that people follow and if your upsell offer doesn't make sense you will not make many sales. 3.Take in all the free information there is on upselling. Possibly the best upsell tip I can share is to learn from the masters. There is a new product being launched on May 12th called the Launch Tree. In it two internet millionaires explain exactly how to maximize your sales after the initial purchase. I have no doubt these guys will put out a quality product but even if you don't buy you will learn a lot by following their launch. Follow the links below and you can download a bunch of freebies from the gurus. Use these 3 fast upsell tips to increase the revenue for your sales and you won't have to work so hard making initial sales. Upsell tips are for anyone with a product to sell. Upselling is something you experience every day whether you are noticing it or not and this article will show you how you can easily add upsell items to your eBook,Cheap Anthony Munoz Jersey, course, teleseminar or any product you have to sell. 1. Make your upsell item of value. Think back to the last item you bought,Patriots Jerseys, would've you paid a few bucks more for a complimentary item if it would have enhanced the purchase? Many of you would say yes and many of your customers will say yes as well. Let's say you have a fitness e-book that you want to sell,Cheap Broncos Jerseys, a great upsell would be "5 Quick Muscle Building Workouts". This is a true value in the customer's eye because it makes their life easier. One truth of selling is that it is always easier to sell to someone who is interested in buying and there is no one more interested in buying then someone who just bought from you.

    Can You Get Fired For Making Your Sales Quota

    Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 4:14 AM [General]

    The moral of the story? But this is the mentality of far too many managers and corporations. The problem is that huge numbers of sales managers, sales directors, and executives have either never sold a thing in their lives, or they've been out of the field for so long that they have absolutely no idea of what works and what doesn't. He'd been in sales long enough to know how to attract buyers without annoying people with cold calls. And as a result he'd built up a huge referral base, too. The idea of a sales rep getting fired for making quota sounds ridiculous, but it has happened at least once. I know because I was there. Is it insane? Yes. Is it stupid? Yes. I'm serious. Several years ago,Cheap Cam Newton Jersey, one of my co-workers got fired for making 200% of his quota! If you didn't submit your "daily" by 9 am you got a nasty email from the manager asking for it. But that wasn't enough for the dictator manager! Use your brain. Think with your brain. Think for yourself. Don't let some dictator manager with an ego problem, or a silly set of "activity" rules written by corporate executives who have never sold a thing in their lives, ruin your job and your sales numbers! The idiot employer who required the daily cold calls not only lost their top sales rep, but they also lost a TON of business in both existing customers who were loyal to their rep, along with all the business he was no longer bringing in each month. At this particular company, we were all required to submit a morning activity report each day. They called it the "daily." Your daily had to have total number of cold calls, first appointments, second appointments, and proposals from the previous day. But who was the real loser in this situation? The company, of course! The star sales rep had a new,Cheap Karl Mecklenburg Jersey, better-paying job literally an hour later,Cheap Patriots Jerseys, with a competitor who had been trying to steal him all along. If you didn't consistently make your required number of calls you got in big trouble. Finally the day came, and he was fired. While at 200% for the year. My friend was the top rep at the company. For months he'd met or exceeded 200% and he didn't do it by cold calling - he did it by using his brain!

    Better To Purchase Display Shelving During a Promotion

    Monday, July 9, 2012, 7:33 PM [General]

    Manufacturers and resellers of display shelving products often put together packages according to warehousing needs, hence, they are more willing to bring down the price of these items. You do not need to understand how and why the selection is done; all you need to know is that there are benefits to buying up a package. Simple. Packages are usually a combination of different display shelving options combined together. Promotions are individual promotions for individual products. Suffice to say that packages often give you better savings than individual products. What is the difference between packages and promotions? Well, if you know how to use a calculator, you will know that in the long run, buying things during a promotion can save quite a fair bit of money. Save a little here, save a little there...you end up with quite a bit, we'll have you know. A consultant or an experienced designer is usually summoned up to put these packages together,Cheap Cameron Wake Jersey, hence, you are assured of the fact that the display shelves DO, indeed, complement each other. Have you seen the way people hit the streets, willingly join the rush hour traffic, fight for parking and then join a sea of people in malls whenever there is a promotion or sale? Have you ever wondered what on earth possessed these people to willingly subject themselves to such mayhem just for a little bit of discount? What happens when you don't like one of the display shelves in the package? Most companies are accommodating in that way...that they will gladly let you remove the product and replace it with another one of the same price. Just don't be shy and ask away,Cheap Bernard Berrian Jersey! Therefore,Cheap Matt Cassel Jersey, the same can be said for purchasing display shelving products during promotions. But here is the thing about ordering display shelves during promotions...sometimes, they have packages on top of promotions!

This will allow you to handle the response,Cheap Matt Schaub Jersey, if it is presented as an objection, and continue closing.

"We did agree that you were not entirely satisfied with your existing product / service didn't we?" "Yes". "We also agreed that our product / service offers a solution doesn't it?"

    How to Take the Brrr Out of Cold Calling

    Monday, July 9, 2012, 7:33 PM [General]

    TAKE ACTION BUSINESS SALES COACHING TIP: If you have not heard of education based marketing,Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys, you may wish to Google the phrase and start learning about this dynamic approach that helps to increase sales,Cheap Colts Jerseys, shorten the sales cycle time, reduce client acquisition costs and improve profitability. Third thought who cares about your products or services. I already have the product or service so why would I use yours? Again, boy are you dumb because you are wasting both of our times. Next thought is who gave you my name? Since you didn't share that with me, you are probably a tele-marketer using some ineffective script that you paid big bucks for. Now I am laughing at you, but you do not know it. Hi, this is (insert name) with (insert company) and I received your name that you would be the person who is most likely to purchase (insert product or service). When would be a good time to speak with you? At least once a week, if not more often, I receive a phone call or listen to a voice mail that goes something like this: First thought is another sales call about something I do not need.
