5 Proven Sales Tips

1. It’s not what you say; It’s what your customer believes.

You can have the best sales presentation in the world, but if the customer doesn’t believe your proposition, then you don’t have a chance. Perception is everything because that’s what the customer believes. Take the time to engage with the customer.

Ask them questions and let them tell you their wants and needs. And listen when they do share their objectives and goals. Yes, many times they don’t know what their needs are and you’ll have to guide them, but in the end, if they don’t believe that you and your company can help them execute plan, you don’t have a chance.

2. Never go into a sales call not knowing how you’re going to close the sale.

If you don’t know where you’re going, then how will you get there? The most common part left out of any presentation is the close. Plan for the close(or some sort of step to discover where you stand) upfront by developing the strategy and your course of action.

This does not mean you’re only going to use one type of closing technique. On the contrary, it means you’re going to be ready to close using several different techniques based on what the customer tells you.

3. Have a dedicated time set aside either daily or weekly to do your prospecting.

Too many salespeople find themselves spending far too much doing everything else but prospecting. If you don’t schedule prospecting time and hold yourself accountable, you won’t do it. And prospecting, whether getting referrals or making warm or cold calls is the only way to find and close new customers!

4. Believe in yourself and what you’re doing to help your customers.

Why should anyone buy anything from anybody if the person from whom they are buying doesn’t even believe in it? There’s a reason why confident salespeople are more successful.

5. Show up and show up on time.

More sales are lost because the salesperson either failed to show or failed to follow-through. It’s a sad comment that something that basic and easy could deter more sales, but it’s a fact. This is the main reason why when companies are looking for salespeople, I tell them to make sure that the candidates have a proven track record of self-discipline.
