Good Morning Pollsters,
It’s funny, sometimes we feel like
we are professional question askers. What are they called? Pollsters? :-) Other times it seems like we are theater
performers, we just bring the show to them. Every so often the “play”
turns into an interactive stage routine. Don’t get burnt out on the “same ‘ol,
same ‘ol”. We must mix it up a bit and keep it exciting for ourselves, and they
will follow. It is this personal approach, this interaction that involves
the customer and makes them our own. If we don’t sense our audience getting
involved in the first 3 steps, change it up.
“Ask that extra question.
It’s that one little extra question that makes the difference.” — Steve Richard
We’ve established that the first 3
steps should take 20-30 minutes, this is when we meet and great, ask 4
questions (plus others), give Empire story, really sell them on us and Empire,
price condition, throw softballs, pre-close, find their hot spot & motivations,
learn their buying language, etc. There are a number of Reps that can
tell stories of how a deal was sold before the customer even saw any samples.
It all happens in the first 3 steps.
If it doesn’t happen in the first 3
steps, then make your step 4 “product presentation” so amazing they are
chomping at the bit to buy – “buying questions”
If it doesn’t happen in step 4,
then make your step 5 “price presentation” so convincing that they are ready to
commit – “buying questions”
If it doesn’t happen in step 5,
then make your step 6 “manager assist call” fully blow their mind at the
savings and immediacy of the purchase – “buying questions”
SEE A PATTERN??? :-)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ~
