In a recent sales and marketing industry study, it was noted that the sales representatives’ strongest sales skill is PRESENTATION, while their weakest area is HANDLING OBJECTIONS.

This is so traditional that it does not surprise me. It is a strong indication that the sales profession continues to be a “dog and pony show”. In other words, the sales representatives are more concerned about the products/services they offer, and how the sale will affect them, than they are about the customer and his/her interests or concerns.

Sales people, like all others, like to stay within their comfort zone. Therefore, they choose presentation instead of first establishing rapport with the customer. The sales representatives should instinctively set parameters; qualify the specific buying motivators; determine their financial capability and their hierarchy for decision making. Upon completion of each of these steps, then and only then, is it time for the presentation.

Sales people have a great deal of difficulty dealing with objection. However, objection can be avoided. The initial prospect introduction should not lead with a presentation.

A sales call can be compared to a visit with a doctor. He/she would never write a prescription before learning all about the patient. In order to provide a “prescription”, one needs to qualify the prospect and gather relevant information prior to offering a solution. If the prospect doesn’t qualify, a presentation is futile.

Therefore, it is imperative you establish a rapport first and then, gain the prospect’s trust, before you gather the necessary information required to qualify the needs of the prospect.

Up front presentations usually initiate objection. You are basically feeding prospects information they don’t want or need. In turn, they will use that information against you in the form of objection.

A sales person has far more opportunity to prescribe constructive solutions for their customers, if he/she concentrates, first and foremost, on building a rapport. The optimum sales process allows the prospect to do 80% of the talking while the sales person does the listening. The other 20% of the time, the sales person asks pertinent questions.

You will discover that by taking the time to listen carefully and to ask the right questions, there won’t be any objections. You are putting the customer first. Your products and services will now be of interest to him.

If any objections should arise, be sympathetic and sincere about your understanding. For example, many times customers feel the product or service is too expensive. It is your job to uncover why they feel that way and are they making a comparison. Do not be defensive and never justify your price.

It is far more beneficial to approach the objection without hesitation while ensuring the customer feels your sincerity and confidence. In this way, you are helping them discover the answer to their own objection. The customer feels in control of the buying process and not coerced by a selling technique.

The overall difference is to put your focus on the customer. Their needs and desires have priority. Build a strong rapport with all prospects by asking the right questions and listening intently; by qualifying their needs and capabilities; and by maintaining subtle control of the sales process. You won’t have to sell, the customer will buy. Simply, listen, learn, summarize and prescribe the best solution for your customer’s needs. This non traditional selling technique is your ticket to success. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Are You Making The Best Of Your Sales Time?

What is the most important part of a salesperson’s job? It is acquiring new business while maintaining the business we already have. Therefore, if that is the most important part of our job, what must we possess in order to make a difference? We do require appropriate behavior but that is not the top answer. We need prospects and customers.

Ultimately, prospects and customers are the most important component in our jobs. We have to relentlessly consider the needs of our prospects and clients in terms of when they want to be contacted or visited, what are their needs and desires, and what can we do for them in order to satisfy those needs and desires.
With this in mind, when is the best time for you to be contacting and spending time with prospects and customers?

The best time, for those of you selling business to business, is between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on any given business day. Real estate agents or salespeople in business to consumer sales should contact clients in the evenings and on weekends. We have to determine the best time to contact our target market and focus strictly on that time. I like to refer to this as revenue generating time or pay time.

Pay time is a certain time of day you can be in contact with customers knowing it will generate revenue. Let’s define pay time behaviors as behaviors that lead us to accomplish our goals or sales quotas. This includes networking, prospecting, telephone calls, follow up, face to face, presentations, customer service, and so on. Take a moment and identify the pay time behaviors you require on a daily basis in order to meet your goals.

Now let’s take a look at when these pay time behaviors should be conducted. A salesperson’s job is to be proactive whenever possible and less reactive. You already know the preferred time to call on your customers. If you are selling business to business, you know that Monday mornings and Friday afternoons are not the best of times to be calling on prospects or clients. Any other time of the business week is best. Your job is to identify the preferred times to be in contact with your target market and to carry out those pay time behaviors during those times.

The opposite side of pay time behavior generates absolutely no revenue. The no pay time behaviors are filling out call reports, writing letters, sending and replying to e-mail messages, completing and submitting expense reports, attending sales meetings, training, and other corporate demands. None of these behavioral activities generate more revenue or pay; however, they are part of the job requirement.

You must control these no-pay time behaviors. Although these activities are a necessity, when you do them makes all the difference. Never perform “no pay time” activities during “pay time”. The no pay time activities should be executed when the prospect or customer is unavailable or during the time before or after closing hours, holidays, weekends, etc. when no revenue will be generated.

Far too many salespeople do not manage their time well. They use no pay time behaviors as excuses to avoid pay time behavior. Manage you behavioral activity properly and reap the benefits of more sales, more revenue and rewarding results.
