The selling profession is one where continued success is typically based on results. A salesperson’s sales revenues are relatively easy to measure and document. This business function is often THE most measured job in any company. There is many a salesperson that has wished and said aloud “Why can’t everyone’s job results be so easily publicized or effectively tracked?” … if everyone’s job was “by the numbers”, like a salesperson’s is, there would be much more professional accountability in the business world!That said
Remember, the five fundamental states of mind that comprises the selling process are curiosity, interest, conviction, desire, and decision and action.
While you are giving your sales presentation pay strict attention to how your prospect responds to your sales talk. Of course, if the prospect is already at the second or third stage of the selling process, you should move on to the next stage.
Always try to find out what the prospect wants most out of your goods. Some people will be interested in every aspect of your proposition. Some will choose one, or two things that are of the greatest value to them.
Say a salesperson is selling a popcorn machine and they have told the customer all the benefits of owning one.
Salesman:
“Mrs. Jones, this popper cleans up in a breeze. All parts except the stand can be immersed in water and dishwasher safe, so it will be easy to keep clean. This machine will leave few kernels unpopped. In fact, each tasty morsel will be plump and wholesome. Our little popper does the job of some of the more expensive brands on the market and at a third of the price. And it will not only produce the best tasting popcorn, it will save you time, energy and money.”

When it comes to versatility and low cost in trade show or portable point of purchase displays it is hard to beat the popular banner stand. These units come in various sizes from about 2 feet wide to 6 feet high to as large as 4 feet by 8 feet.They can be used as stand alone displays for advertising a specific product, or they can be assembled in an array highlighting a number of different products. They can even be attached with magnetic strips to form a larger backdrop in multiples of 4 feet.For example you can use th

This morning I wrote about my cold calling reluctance, spawned by five easily changeable conditions.Now, it’s exactly 5:12 p.m. and the official calling day is over.Did I make myself make calls, and if so, how did I do?You might recall I was dragging my derriere because of an overactive weekend filled with hiking, karate, swimming, and resistance training.But instead of wallowing in my sloth, I got up and did 40 reps each with my Soloflex machine and dumbbells, and it really got the blood pumping. I placed

We realize choosing a marketing consultant can be a tough decision to make. We also realize that making the wrong choice can cost your business a lot of extra money! Because of this, we have outlined a few key areas to consider when selecting a new consultant or a consulting company. To assist you in your selection process, use the following considerations as your last “gut check” before making a commitment.1. Not all consultants are legitimate. Make sure the consultant you’re considering has a good reput

I think we all agree that gone are the days when we would mass e- or snail-mail tens or even hundreds of resumes just for the sake of telling ourselves that we’ve done all we could to find the right job.Assuming that it’s fair to say that the right job search is all about the right job and the right employer, then how do you let the right employer know you are the right employee? Really, when it comes down to it, the only thing between you and your next job is a few hundred words that, if chosen correctly, can take you places
Mrs. Jones:
“Did you say the popper comes apart and each piece can be immersed in water?”
Salesman:
“Yes Mrs. Jones, everything but the stand. All of the parts to the popper come apart for easy clean up. They can be washed in your kitchen sink, or dishwasher. This will do away with greasy build up since it only takes a little soap and water to clean it and no elbow grease.”
Mrs. Jones:
“How much is it?”
Salesman:
“It regularly sells for $19.95, but we’ve reduced the price for our grand opening. Your price today is just $15.95.”
Mrs. Jones:
“I’ll take two of them. One for my mother and one for myself.”
Salesman:
“You’ve made an excellent choice Mrs. Jones.”
The salesman picks up two popcorn machines and goes to the cash register to type up the order. He stopped selling because he closed the sale.
In the above example Mrs. Jones was most interested in the easy clean up. The money she would save was secondary, or of little concern, if any. She was mainly interested in how easy the popcorn popper was to clean because that saved her time and energy.
How do you test to see if a prospect is ready to buy?
You must give the prospect a chance to show how he feels about your proposition. Some customers will make it known to you that they are ready to buy, still another customer may be ready to make a purchase, but hides this from you. The best way to find out if this ty
