Notes de l'éditeur
- To be successful in sales we need goals, right planning & systematic approach. But the most important thing is to have the right mindset.
- The agent needs to come across to the customer as a consultant and not as a sales man. To be a good consultantSell yourself first – All great business is based on friendship. Before anything else, it is important for the customer to trust you. Trust is never built between two companies. It is built between individuals involved in the sale.Customers are not looking to buy your product for its features. They are looking for a solution to their problems through your products.Mostly the customers may not know their own problems or they may not know how to explain their problems to you. You need to ask the right questions to be able to understand the real problems of your customers.
- Most people see no as a rejection or dismissal. Successful sales people see no as a challenge, more of a postponement than a refusal.When the prospect says no, try to understand… does it mean not now but sometime in future maybe. Or does it mean not yet, i.e. you have not given enough to convince the prospect. Or it means not this one, but may be some other product can solve my problem. However, you should take a no ifThe sale goes against your goals & prioritiesYou can’t deliverYou don’t like dealing with the customerThe customer is better off with another vendorYou don’t have time
- Don’t meet your prospect with the purpose of pushing your product, but to find him solutions and to increase his business or profits.

On discovering that this new student was already a black belt, the master asked him why he was not wearing it. The student replied, “If I come to this class wearing my black belt and thinking I know it all, I won’t learn much. To show my respect to the masters here, I come with an empty hand.”Further explain that to succeed in sales, it is very important to have the right attitude or mindset.
