Everyone in sales starts their training with a traditional cookie cutter approach that their company wants them to follow. It's easy to outgrow those initial selling techniques, but you shouldn't overlook power of a great sales script. Find out what works, and always try to improve your method. You'll immediately be able to predict the direction of every conversation when you master your script.
Overcome Objections
Ever heard how movie reviewers spoil box office openings? Objections from clients are the biggest sales spoilers, and as a representative learn to pick up on your ruins. The toughest objections that a prospect can throw at you during a sales pitch are in your first few sentences. If you can keep conversations going with buyers, and hope your results to skyrocket. The key to breaking this barrier is understanding reasons your prospect doesn't want to talk.
If you get shut down at beginning of your pitch, then you need a scripted response that slows your counterpoints. Keep a frequently asked catalog of every objection you get. Take note of any replies you've made that kept them talking. The easiest way to practice this is with cold-calling. Prospects will always complain about being bombarded with sales calls, and an average sales representative will just hang up. You'll be ahead of any curve with a scripted response, but always trust your instincts to handle objections.
Do you realize what happens when you put a lot of crabs in the same bucket? There are companies of all sizes and shapes snipping your prospects, leads, and going after what creatively you tried building over the years. All you need to do is not talk about how much you can't stand those other competitors bothering your competition, but what your company have done better. Sales is not a numbers game, but a question of handling objections and bailing yourselves out from the bucket of crabs.
Ask your prospect what they've been having to deal with, and sympathize with their problem. That's just one example of how you can plan every conversation from every start by narrowing down the most common objections you get at beginning of your sales pitch. It won't be long before all of those bad leads turn into clients.
What your customer wants?
There's only a limited number of ways a conversation can go during a pitch. That's why you should think of your sales script as a road map on a GPS. When you take a wrong turn on the freeway, then your route auto-corrects to keep you going in the right direction. That's what your script does for your prospects. Your sales pitch helps them navigate a way through your company's sales process to get what they want. If you give them the right directions, then they'll arrive at the sale.
When you make things up as you go, then you're far-more likely to end up in the wrong place with any leads. You don't want to lose the sale, and your lead doesn't want to waste their time. The best sales professionals realize that not every client wants to take the clear path to close the sale. Some prospects like to take a scenic route and get to know you. Other leads want to close the deal as fast as possible. At the end of the day, a great sales script will tell you exactly what road they're on, and you'll be able to predict the perfect product to meet their wants. It reduces the instances of wrong turns in the conversation, and it will make you a more productive seller.
Cut your losses
It goes without saying that you won't close every sale. There's always going to be those indecisive buyers that can't bring themselves to commit. You would have probably gone through a complete sales pitch only to have your prospect dismiss you by saying that they need to think it over. Practicing with a good sales script will give you insights to know when a prospect isn't interested, so you don't have to invest time into someone who will never buy. You would have to be quick at discovering when some leads are simply wasting your time.
Keep hustling. Stay motivated.
