Four Powerful Language Patterns

What happens when you X? Again I am directing your focus, forcing you to see the pictures, places, scenes or feelings I want you to see. I havenā€™t asked you if you want to, just indirectly, to go ahead and do it. For example, ā€œWhat happens when you buy the right product? Do you feel good about the decision?ā€ I might even touch my product as I say ā€œright product.ā€ You donā€™t have to X, butā€¦ The pattern presents your statement in a non-threatening format: ā€œYou donā€™t have to believe this, but it [Read More Now...]

Powerful Language Patterns

If X, then Y. This is purely an X/Y relationship. If you do X, then Y will happen. It works because it is a construct of our language that causes an automatic response. It also is taught to us in mathematics. ā€œIf you picture yourself using this product, then you need to go ahead and purchase it today.ā€ The statement does not have to make logical sense. The ā€œifā€ is a construct that forces the mind to accept the statement. If you believe that, then youā€™ll be well on your way to success. It is very similar to the word [Read More Now...]

Use Quotes to Motivate and Inspire

Quotes Any quote can be used for an indirect message. Find quotes that are relevant to the process of selling. ā€œIndecision will steal you blind.ā€ ā€” Charles J. Givens You have just told them to make quick decisions. If you use a number of quotes from famous people or books and include them in your sales presentation, it will have an immediate impact. Because someone else said it or it is in a book, it is accepted as fact. So think about selling: what are common experiences that people have about making a decision? Are they afraid? Do they [Read More Now...]

Sell to Dreams, Needs

Evaluation of Desires and Needs A number of excellent sales programs teach salespeople to uncover a clientā€™s need and then satisfy the need with your product or service. Seems simple enough. But people do not buy based solely on needs! In fact, why they buy is based more on desire than need. It is the subconscious desires and values that we have that often drive our buying habits. Example: You may need a mode of transportation, but what you desire is a fast, sleek, sharp- looking car ā€” a car that your girlfriend or boyfriend will think is [Read More Now...]

Give the PROOF

Acceptance of Your Product or Benefit Once you have positioned your benefit, you will want to check and be sure it is accepted. The best way of ensuring your benefit is accepted is to use a test question immediately after the benefit is introduced. If the benefit is not acknowledged, you may have to provide proof or look for another, more powerful benefit to introduce. Strategy: Give acceptable proof if the customer is skeptical. If the prospect is not convinced, make sure you have professional backup or proof. Keep a list of clients. Keep [Read More Now...]

Use Probing Questions to Find Client Dissatisfaction

Strategy: Use identification of client problems and controlling questions to uncover hidden desires. Sooner or later, every salesperson comes across a client who seems to have no apparent need for his/her product or service. In the majority of cases, it is not that the client does not have the need, but that they have forgotten about the need. They are simply unresponsive. (Usually a defense mechanism to avoid being sold.) Or, perhaps the client believes they are happy with an existing product. Your responsibility in this situation is to help [Read More Now...]

Pumpers and Dumpers

Often in life, we do not choose our family, work associates or even friends. They just some how wind up in our life. Not a conscious process of selection. Some are great friends or family member you want to keep in your life, some you want to ….. KILL. šŸ™‚ One of my mentors decades ago Jim Rhon said “You are the sum total of the 5 people you associate with on a regular basis”. Want to get better hang out with better people. Want to get rich, hang out with wealthy people. Just from osmoses you will pick up ideas, concepts, [Read More Now...]

20 Tips to get a BETTER deal!

1. Everything is negotiable Keep an open mind about what is negotiable. You may believe retail prices in stores are the bottom line, but they are not! There are very few non-negotiable products or services. Try to negotiate and you will be surprised what you can get. 2. When is the best time to negotiate? Negotiate when your opponent is happy or content. They’ll be less likely to give you opposition and say no than when they are unhappy or feeling discontent. When you have the advantage, all of the pressure is on them. You should also [Read More Now...]

Football Lessons

In high school and university (college) I played football. It was always a challenge to play, to make the team and to start.

And some times desire, persistence, and faith is enough to get you what you want in life. I recall spending all summer gaining weight (high school to college), and working out 1 to 2 times a day to get “make it”. I was fairly demoralized, when I show up at tryouts, only to [Read More Now...]

CANSLIM Growth Strategy

No one style of investing fits all people, but I subscribe to the 45/45/10 Investing Method. 45% of your investing should in CASH FLOW strategies, 45% growth strategies, 10% (or less) in higher risk, higher reward strategies.

This system works very well in an up-trending market, OK in a flat market, and poorly in a down trending market. All stocks, [Read More Now...]

ABC Always Be Closing

I am amazed at how many salespeople and presenters believe that giving the presentation is the job. It is not. The sale is the most important part of the process. That means each word, each statement, each action, each question should be deliberate, and move the client closer to buying the product. Even a story or joke should have a purpose to bring you closer to the sale. Whatever your presentation, your actions need to move prospects closer to yes: Build rapport; talk about common experiences and values. See a fish on the wall, and remember [Read More Now...]

Assumptive Selling

From initial contact to finalization of the sale, closers always exhibit an assumptive posture. It comes through in their statements, questions and attitude. Ensure your language is positive and future pacing decisions. Product, company, benefit and personal statements are always assumptive. There are no questions about doing business together, no ā€œmaybesā€ or ā€œifsā€; itā€™s strictly assumption of business. Find below sample statements of a good closer and a poor one. ?
