The Decision Maker

In any company or institution or family, there is always a decision maker. Once, you understand what the decision maker wants, you can actually close the deal easily. Sometimes, it happens that the decision maker sends someone from the company to understand about you or the company. At this point, it is important to know what the decision maker wants even though he/she is not present.

Being Real

During a sales process being genuine is very important. It is for you to make the client understand that you care, not just about your business but also about them. Being prepared is very different from speaking in an unrealistic tone. If you sound like that you are speaking in a robotic manner, then the customer will get turned off. On the other hand, if you speak from a prepared perspective, in a genuine manner, the customer will feel satisfied.

A sense of urgency

Presenting the client with a deadline will help them to commit. Making them feel they have the upper hand, through a discount or a free subscription, will help them to commit. But, don’t rush the customer; just give them a reason to come to you instead of anyone else.

Be Prepared

During a sales presentation, there can be objections. Which can make you take a step back or you can pause and take time to think for an answer. This doesn’t leave a good impression. It is always advisable to be prepared for any obstacle or objection which can be presented. To overcome that, one can always sit with the team and ask them to present every possible objection or obstruction.

The competition

Knowing what your competition is doing in the industry keeps you two steps ahead. Prepare yourself and take notes what they are doing. Do your research and understand what they are doing and find the gap which your company can cover. Sometimes, this small gap will the biggest selling point.

Watch What you are saying

Don’t try to push your way to the customer. Understand and listen to them. You should know what your area of expertise is. You want to present yourself as real and professional.
