How to Be Effective in Sales Using a 3 Legged Approach
Based on a recent survey by Achieve Global, the sales people who are achieving the highest success have these 3 areas in common.
- Have a high understanding of the customers marketplace
- Stay alert to buying signals to close at the right time
- Discover needs which the customer may not be aware of today
With a strong knowledge of the marketplace, sales people are able to converse in the customers language and there is also a strong understanding of the business needs which exist. A "common language", the "what" is being used to have business conversations using core messages, the "how".
Closing at the right time, the "what", requires the sales person be able to sense, the "how", where the decision maker is at in their buying process. Without first gaining trust, the sales person will not be in a position to act properly on a buying cycle.
To be able to discover needs, the "what", consultative selling skills, the "how", allows the sales person to diagnose properly before offering up a partial solution.
We refer to these areas as our 3 legged approach to provide the best stability in these current times. More information on these 3 areas can be found on our web site, click on the image above or hit the link below.
