A complex or unclear sales strategy might be hindering your selling success. Grow your business and generate customer loyalty by simplifying your sales approach and applying these seven key steps.
Selling is a very important part of the process of getting customers to buy your services or products. Yet, it is greatly misunderstood. Selling is not a process that manipulates people into buying your products or services, rather, it’s a process of understanding your prospect’s needs and understanding the sensitive dynamics of finding the right fit.
What exactly should you ask?
How should you explain your products or services?
How do you close and confirm you actually have the sale?
It sounds simple, but many sales professionals lose sight of the steps needed to sell successfully, and skip through steps and wonder why they weren’t able to close the deal.
Like any profession, selling has a body of knowledge related to successful execution. There are seven key steps that can help you be successful in any business environment. These steps include:
- Prospecting
- First Impressions
- Qualifying
- Demonstration
- Influence
- Close
- General
In order to drive breakthrough sales results, you need to understand the steps to sell. Mastery in each of these steps may not be necessary for all types of sales positions, but understanding your strengths and weaknesses in the selling process may help you identify why you may not be reaching your sales goals.
