Good Morning Elitist’s,
Just a reminder, we are members of a pretty elite class (Nearly
13% of all the jobs in the U.S. (1 in 8) are full time sales positions.) We are
THE sales force for the nation’s LARGEST flooring company. You can walk into an
appointment with ultimate confidence, to the point of “It was very wise of you
Mr. Customer to call us”. We may not be the cheapest, we may not carry
everything, BUT WE ARE THE BEST. That is something you can believe in!!
Did you know:
*Salespeople who actively seek out and exploit referrals
earn 4 to 5 times more than those who don’t.
*Takeaway:
Referral-based selling is a surefire recipe for success. A referred customer is
already pre-sold on the credibility of the sales person, product and company
which makes these types of opportunities the warmest sales leads.
*91%
of customers say they’d give referrals. Only 11% of salespeople ask for
referrals.
*Retaining
current customers is 6 to 7 times less costly than acquiring new ones
These are some fantastic numbers. Sometimes I only post the
5 digit sales, but remember the reality is these $7K,$8K & $9k days are
pretty rockin also!! Way to go
everyone!!
Also, those 1 roomers don’t have to be a bummer – I sold one
yesterday, price conditioned the customer that it was going to be $777 ($750 +
tax), got the OK to proceed, measured and priced the room on the tablet. Turns
out the Target+ price only came to $669. I was able to sell it (for those perceived
additional discounts) and am guaranteed FULL commission.

Do you have your door hangers and referral cards ready to
hand out? Do you have a commercial flyer ready to pull into a business to hand
out? Have you ordered your car sign? Do you have your (10 sec.) elevator speech
memorized to tell everyone you meet today?
