3 Steps To Closing More Sales

For any salesperson, one of the constant nagging thoughts in their minds usually is 'how do I close more sales?' The same tactics may not work for every prospect, which is why you need to be able to look at all factors that can influence sales. Here are 3 ways to get to 'yes' faster!

Focus on the prospect's outcome

You have been told to sell the benefits and expand on the relevant features of your products. You have also been told to listen to the prospect carefully so that you understand what exactly their problem is. Based on this, you need to pitch with the prospect's desired outcome in mind. You need to demonstrate how your product or service can help the prospect achieve the outcome. Every comment you make and every question you put forth should be centered around the prospect's outcome and how your product or service can get them there. Set aside time for garnering referrals You have a pool of customers who are happy with your products and services and have been with you for a while. Tap into that pool, let  them know that you are looking to expand your base, and that you need their help. Your existing customers could make that introduction for you, which solves the initial problem of lead acquisition. Try asking for referrals in short, concentrated words and intervals, take a week or two weeks out to focus on reaching out to your existing customers and asking for introductions. This way, you will have a bunch of new leads on a regular basis. And thanks to the initial call from your customers, you can use the next week or two to reach out to them while your name is still fresh in their minds from that intro call. When you make time for it, the whole process becomes more streamlined.

FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP
