Qualifying Prospects With Questions
“Remove Objections With a Question:…The removal question efficiently ‘removes’ the issue at hand and asks the client her thoughts based on that scenario. Suppose a prospect says, “It’s really great, but it’s just not in our budget.” You reply:
“Fair enough, Brandi. Let me ask, if budget was not an issue, would you proceed with the proposal as outlined?”
If Brandi says yes, then you can negotiate or come up with terms or arrange financing because her objection is not a smokescreen but the real thing. If she says, “Well, ya, but I am also a little concerned about the maintenance program,” you’ve discovered that it’s not a budgetary issue or that budget is only part of a number of issues.
Suppose the client says, “Well, I have to go to the buying group on this one.” You say, “I understand. Steve, suppose there wasn’t a buying group, what would be your decision?” By removing the objection, you can determine if Steve’s on board or not. Either way, you are well on the way to handling the client’s issue. read full article
If you Want To Sell More, Think Like Michael Dell
Before Michael Dell was a computer mogul, and JIT (Just In Time) Business Genius. He was a great sales person. Dell understood that the prospects were the most important thing. That most of a companies expenses really went to filtering, and targeting the right prospects at the end of the day. Sales people, marketing, all of the main expenses of business are really just a way to get to the right prospects. This is because if the right prospects are targeted, then the sales will follow.-”At age 16, Michael Dell followed the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Principle to identify those most likely to purchase a subscription to The Houston Post (newlyweds and those who were moving into a new home), he enlisted the assistance of schoolmates to obtain the names and addresses of prime prospects from public sources, and then mailed a customized letter to them. Thousands of subscriptions were sold that year. He earned $18,000.
Who buys what I sell? Why? What is the best way to identify them? What is the best way to contact them? (Certainly not door-to-door) How can they help me to reach others who are also prospects? Obviously, $18-thousand is substantially less than $18-billion but what is most important is the fact that essentially the same strategies achieved both totals.” read more here
