Secret #145: Success in selling hinges less on a salesperson’s ability to close. . .

Posted on February 6, 2009 Written by admin Leave a Comment

Executed properly, the act of closing a sale should end up being somewhat of an anticlimactic event. In today’s business environment, there are no magical closing phrases or sales tricks that you can use to force a prospective customer in to buy something they don’t really want.

Secret #145:
Success in selling hinges less on a salesperson’s ability to close and more on your ability to get prospects ready to be closed.

The trick is getting the opportunity “ready” to be closed, which means satisfying each of the prerequisite steps…including identifying a recognized need, proposing a viable solutions, justifying the cost, creating a sense of urgency, and you must be dealing with someone who has the authority to make a purchase decision.

Strategic Questions

The Most Powerful Tool in Sales

Besides gathering information, strategic questions are a salesperson's best tool for:
• Piquing Customer Interest
• Establishing Credibility
• Understanding Requirements
• Creating a Sense of Urgency
• Qualifying Opportunities
• Competitive Differentiation
• Negotiation / Positioning
• Escalating to Decision Makers
• Securing Commitments / Closing Deals
• Maintaining Margins
• Getting Leads / Referrals
. . .which is very different than just probing for needs.
