ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ??? are more effective than statements in engaging a customer,particularly during the early stages of a sales process.

Create a printed agenda and share it with the customer

Stay flexible and responsive to your audience’s interests.

If you have a written proposal, a price quote, or other printed material,don’t hand it out until the end of your presentation

Welcome interruptions, objections, and questions from your audience.

? Use

visual aids in formal presentations and don’t skimp on them.

important presentations using videotape to identify distracting mannerisms or habits.

Step Process!!

? First,

the approach—identify the customer’s problems ? Where are customers losing money? ? What goals are they failing to achieve? ? What gaps in their current capabilities are keeping them from being successful?

Second, the proposition—develop a specific value proposition. Identify ? the specific areas where losses are occurring, and quantify them. ? Summarize the losses and show the potential for increased profitability in concrete dollars and cents. The more you know about the customer’s business in detail, the more convincing your value proposition will be.

Third, the demonstration— show how the solution fits. Summarize the customer’s problems and the potential for increasing profits. Then show how the solution works, not in terms of its technical functions,but in terms of its business impact. Functions and features are relevant only in terms of the value they deliver. Technology for its own sake is not part of the selling message.

Fourth, the close—ask for the order. Assume that an intelligent businessperson will want to buy. If the customer has objections, answer them and close again.

Interestingly, recent research into the psychology of decision making has revealed that these four steps correspond to the way people think when they are making a decision……….

Patterson wasn’t interested in the psychology of decision making, of course. He was interested in selling cash registers. And he knew that Crane’s method worked, so he wanted all of his sales reps to use it.

?

Sales Rep: “I am from the National Cash Register Company and I have called to interest you in a way to increase your profits? (The prospect usually responds that he is not interested

in buying any cashregisters)
?

?

Sales Rep: “But you are interested in increasing profits, aren’t you? There are only two ways: One is by increasing sales. The other is by decreasing expense.My business has to do with decreasing the indirect expenses that are taking a part of your profit out of your pocket all the time? Prospect: “What are indirect expenses??…………………………
