What’s the Difference Between a Salesperson and a SALES PROFESSIONAL?
People can find you, people like your message, people ask you to provide them with solutions, but your business still isn’t growing..where have you gone wrong? Maybe it’s in your Sales System!
All too often, people depend on the individual talents of their sales team to produce results. In many cases, this can be very inefficient…and may even damage your reputation. We are here to tell you that there is a better way!
Together with our Sales Coaches, we can formalize a systematized sales strategy that simplifies how you communicate your business. Our sales systems provide your prospective customer with the information (and motivation, of course) to do business with your company comfortably and eagerly. In addition, your business will no longer be reliant on the talent and experiences of your sales force. Instead, you will be able duplicate the successes of your best representatives indefinitely. Like any other part of your business there are elements of a sales process that must be fulfilled in order to deliver at the standard your customer demands:
It is more important than ever to be upfront and honest with your perspective client. Here in the information age, a bad experience can quickly become a bad reputation (whether it is warranted or not), so it is up to the business to reduce and/or eliminate any confusion of what is promised and agreed upon.
One of the many challenges that we deal with today in business is ignorance and misinformed prospects. For this reason, it is even more important to gage the knowledge of a prospective customer and provide the real world information they need to make the right decision. Without a structured appointment, you risk wasting time, causing confusion, and creating indecision. Together with our sales team, we can design a presentation that provides all the information they need, without the other distractions that happen in an uncontrolled environment. In doing so, you create the professional experience your customer expects.
Sales opportunities are great, however, business on the books is what keeps the lights on. The goal of every qualified appointment should not be whether or not they do business with you, but instead, at what level they will be doing business with you. Failed appointments are a great waste of more than just money. The time, emotion, and resources tied to that appointment, make the lack of a successful call even more expensive. Consistently closing business can be infectious, which is one problem more businesses would love to have to deal with.
One of the most stressful points of a sales call is when to ask for business. Seasoned sales people know this moment when it presents itself, but it takes years of experience and practice to recognize it. A professional presentation has this moment built-in, makes it easy for the sales person to ask, and at the same time provides the client with the tools they need to make the decision. In a survey done by an independent company, almost 90% of in-home sales people don’t ask for the sale at every appointment. Without providing the moment for them…it may never happen.
Referred business is by far the best business any company can obtain. Generally speaking, the initial contact, the relationships, and the implementation with a referred person are as easy as it can get. So why don’t more sales people focus on getting referrals? It’s because they focus too much on how to get the sale. With our sales processes, we make the complete sale happen at every opportunity…including setting up the next one. In doing so, your company will enjoy a better crop of leads, and your sales team will enjoy a more cooperative customer.
