DO EVERYTHING WITH ENTHUSIASM AND WITHOUT SHORTCUTS – ALWAYS
So do everything you do with enthusiasm and without shortcuts. I’ve even read recently state that as a salesperson you should never take short cuts in a presentation, unless your client indicates that certain details you would normally cover aren’t of interest to them. What? I immediately thought to myself, “What sort of a sales expert is this guy? He seems to have no idea how to go about selling at all.”
I know I wouldn’t pay him good money to advise me after reading that rubbish. I’ve always been taught, and go out of my way to teach others, that a presentation is not an ad-hock thing, it’s everything to the seller and the prospect alike.
Salespeople should respect their prospect enough to do the necessary homework before they present to give themselves every chance to sell the prospect, and to also give the prospect every chance to buy.
To do everything you do with enthusiasm and without shortcuts also carries over to your paperwork and ability to handle a computer – if your records are kept there and your orders are entered that way.
Any missing information could cause your newly acquired clients to quickly lose faith in their decision and cancel the order.
YOU BE THE ONE THAT SETS THE STANDARD YOUR COMPANY NEEDS TO ADOPT
Then if you or your company don’t have the practices and policies in place to properly care for the expectations of your clients and prospects, you’ll generally find yourself working harder and harder to get new business. If that’s the environment you work in, then you become the benchmark the company needs to adopt. And they will, simply because your clients will expect the same standard from them. You become the one that invests some time and effort in laying out procedures that can be standardized and followed by everyone who works with you, and present this to your superiors if you need to.
Salespeople shouldn’t promise anything above or beyond the company standard – and at times need to question company standards if they don’t change for the better over time. Then once a new standard is set, everyone should be expected to meet it, or exceed it.
THE OFFROAD WANDERER – UNABLE TO KEEP THINGS SALES FOCUSED
The highway on which a sale is usually built is wide indeed. If it wasn’t, very few would ever close a sale, and the prospect is extremely forgiving – too forgiving most of the time.
Just think back to the calls you made where you believe you didn’t deserve the sale, but your prospect’s bought anyway. Prospects forgive everything except a wandering presentation. If you can’t stay on track, you shouldn’t be trying to sell.
As a salesperson, you need to stay in control of every aspect of the sales process? Do you a script for your telephone prospecting; do you have a realistic formula that’s is adaptable in most circumstances for your on-road prospecting; do you have a carefully planned process for your presentations; and do you have an on-going way of ensuring your call-backs and follow-ups are effective. If you do, do you use them? And if you don’t, why don’t you?
Checking to see if you’re on track only takes a few moments, yet, it’s one of the simplest ways to help you pin-point everything that needs attention. Once this is in place, whatever you do it’s likely you stay on track – and remain on track.
