- How To Tap Into Your Confident Power: Charismatic Power: the power of personality. A big part of sales in selling yourself, who you are and what you stand for (your values). Your objective is to have the customer like you, connect with you and trust you. With this strong connection they may make concessions or compromises because they like you. Such as pay a bit more or agree to a longer lease term or move in a bit sooner because of the relationship developed and maintained. Expertise Power : If the resident, current or future, believes that you know more about the market, area rates and demand than they do – you are in charge. Information Power: When the customer sees you as the storehouse of all information and knowledge assisting them to make the decision based on this shared data – they will be indebted to you and possibly grateful. Know your stuff inside and out? (see Fact Sheet to be The Subject Matter Expert this will not only build your confidence but it will have a direct positive impact on the customer’s decisions.
- Be positive (negativity will get you nowhere!) We all can choose how we react and how we respond. Even in challenging days or tough times – the key is how you deal with those obstacles or challenges that will make a difference in your sales success. Be a positive force of solutions and strategies. Be passionate: about your product, your future success, the sales process and assisting others. People will notice and want to be a part of your world for passion has a very magnetic quality. Be prepared for anything. Set yourself up for success everyday. Pre-meeting or prior to calls? All your ducks in a row? Materials? Answers to questions? Be energetic Be on as our customers (current and future) is our audience. Your attitude, energy level and enthusiasm determine their reaction and future results.
- In my opinion – No apartment is overpriced unless it is Under desired. The customer has not seen the true value of the apartment home or it does meet their needs. That is our job to show them. But first we must know what is desired!
- Also know that our customer’s perception is THEIR reality. Without knowing exactly what your customers perceive as valuable you can never truly satisfy their needs. Value-Based Selling is all about asking the right questions to reveal what they treasure and find important. Questions that matter will uncover the “deal maker” elements. These questions will show what makes your customers tick. Samples of Power Questions: What is a deciding factor for you in choosing an apartment home? What are 3 specific needs that you are searching for in an apartment home? Tell me your expectations of an apartment community’s services, features and amenities What details can I help you with in making your moving decisions? How can I make your decision easier?
