It All Lies In That Initial Meeting
A big part of selling lies in your ability to make people feel at ease when they are with you. It is important that you really work on letting people feel like they can trust you and to ensure that you are doing all that you can in order to show your customers that you are listening to them but that you aren't just here to sell your products to them. Of course you want to complete a sale but you really need to make that interaction into a positive one or you will end up causing people to be frustrated and to avoid you. Become aware of the way that you interact with the customers. You need to make sure that you are not being abrasive and rude to them. These salesmen are often called "sharks" because of their overly aggressive sales tactics. While they can work, they often put the company at jeopardy because they really just compromise the company for the money. You do not want to have people that are out there and doing everything for just a sale as they can damage reputations and many other things with the organization. You really need to focus on a sales tactic that works more on getting in touch with the customers and to be able to focus your efforts on convincing them to be at ease with you based on your personality and the way that you are approaching the overall meeting. What is the initial thing your customers are seeing from your company? Is it a marketing piece? Is this piece enough to convince people of the legitimacy of your company? Are you working on making sure people feel that your company is trustworthy and one that really helps to cement a solid reputation in stone in their mind? Every piece of marketing techniques used must completely represent the company in a different form. Provide a website with additional information about your company. This will give people something to reference after they meet with you. People turn to the internet all the time to research companies and to find out more about products before they purchase them. Get your website listed with the search engines so you will make your voice heard and you can create a solid presence with the customers online after they have already had that initial meeting with you that is critical to the closing of a sale. Marketing is a great method to get your name out there but you will walk a fine line between assertive and pushy in the opinions of the customers. |
