Sales Hints
     
6 Sales Hints - relevant to everyone who deals with customers

1 Selling is what consumers WANT – they need help to buy correctly and quickly. What they don’t want is the old ‘pushy’ sales techniques. Don’t be a ‘reluctant salesperson’ because of the old image of what sales was. Do not let your keenness to sell be seen as 'pushiness'.

2
A sales interaction is not a CONTEST. There must be two winners for it to be successful. The consumer MUST feel that the salesperson is their ALLY in choosing what is right for them.

3
As a consumer, I feel most comfortable with a salesperson who seems to understand not just what I ask for, but also many ‘unsaid’ factors. I am most likely to feel happy to take this person’s advice and BUY from them.

4 First you have to sell YOURSELF – then, IF SUCCESSFUL, you get a chance to sell your product or practise your skills. You must establish -

  • Your Credibility & Trustworthiness
  • That you understand THEM
  • That you know your product
    In that order!

5 Image IS important. It affects how a customer perceives us – and if their perception is wrong it makes establishing our credibility much harder. Think about HOW YOU DRESS and always check your grooming.

6
When we communicate, our BODY LANGUAGE speaks LOUDER than our words. Always remember how important eye contact is - it shows credibility.
