• Do you feel you often have to sell is like begging? His time with a potential client is to see if he is qualified to do business with your company. Instead of asking questions that will determine whether it is possible to convert prospects to customers, retailers often find themselves hoping, even praying for the opportunity to “just show my products” and perhaps make a sale.

• Do you speak too? The vendors who focus too much on advertising, account for time prospect with their talk and force him to hear (whether he is interested or not). For every hour in front of a prospectus, spend 5 minutes to sell the product or service and 55 minutes saying things that are unnecessary. As a result not achieved any order, the order is canceled or you get an “I’ll think.” 20/80 rule applies also to sell. The goal should be to get the client to make 80 percent of the conversation, while you make only 20 percent of it.
• Does it make you a lot of guesswork? Your company should not be more in the business of selling products or services, but of providing solutions. But often, sellers try to tell customers the solution before they have understood the problem. Before selling, examine the customer’s problem completely. For that, ask direct questions and get a full understanding of the customer’s perspective.

“I trust you” is a phrase pure and innocent. It implies a sense of faith … (no religious connotation), the “I-don’t-know-not-all-but-I-will-you-believe” … I trust you! If that trust is given to one side “engagement” in front, one who receives it is “responsible” it must be worthy. In other words, if someone trusts me, if I deserved his trust, I will have to prove he was right to trust me. A business relationship is not about winning a single contract, it is a concrete base on which we will build hundreds of cases, thousands of contracts! For in a genuine relationship of trust and proven, there is another dimension to the possibilities limitless exponentially: the references!

We all want to excel in sales. We all sell something and if we do not sell a product or service, we sell our ability to solve a problem. Most people do not excel in sales, not because they lack a gift or a natural talent, but because they lack knowledge and skills.
