Sales Prevention And Purchasing Objection – YOU!

What is the true reason for prospects who object to the purchase in the very end? Price is the very most objection – and also the most false objection ever in sales. It‘s just too easy to say „there is no budget left“ or „the price is too high“.

In reality this is the sign of the following:
* The perceived value of the offered product or service doesn‘t match your price.
* The risk of purchase is too high; unsure if needs will be satisfied with purchase.

Perceived value of your offering is in direct connection to the perceived risk of the purchase. Price is not an issue. Perceived value and perceived risk are. Price is a symptom.

5 Minutes Is A Lifetime In Sales

In 1999 in the UEFA Champions-League, Bayern Munich lost in the final by one goal against Manchester United. All fans around the world who have watched that game went through some heavy emotions. On both sides. Munich was leading with one goal until the end of the game after 90 minutes, fans in Germany already celebrating. Free beer in pubs were handed out and champagne already opened in some of the more posh bars. However, in injury overtime, Manchester scored 2 goals in just 2 minutes, emerging as the winner of the match; winning the Champions-League final.
The coach of the team, Sir Alex Ferguson, has achieved something every sales director or CEO must achieve within their teams.

Dare To Be Different – Personal & Memorable Service

The difficulty in today’s sales world is that so many products are too similar to have an outstanding and unmatched USP, to have an unrivaled market position. The truth is, we buy many products according to brand name. Big corporates, with their appearance of corporate identity, are uniform. They have also established rules and policies, which makes the person performing the service replaceable and exchangeable.

What is the prospect really buying? YOU!

The Leads Are Weak??? You Are Weak!

The problem of today’s sales professionals is that leads are are mostly regarded as weak, as they haven’t turned into a deal (just yet). The Question: Are the leads really weak, or are we weak sales professionals?
An ex-colleague of mine used to jump up and down all day, demanding “I need more leads!”, but seldom did he really generate business from them. Why? The secret lies in the devil’s detail: Because we don’t engage properly.

In favor of all odds, your powerpoint doesn’t sell!

In favor of all odds, you decide to show your impressive powerpoint presentation at your next sales meeting. Yawn…. Wake me up when it is over.

Let’s get one thing straight up front, if your company orders you to show a powerpoint presentation, than why not just showing the last thank you slide, and skipping the rest? You are doing your audience a favor. Or maybe you are not secure enough doing without it?

eh? Let me explain with an example:

Remember when you were buying a new car, what had been the winning argument? Did you take it for a spin, showing off to your friends and family? Did you think how great you would look driving it? How it would boost your image? Did you think that you can spend the money you are now investing to service your old car in something more fun, like extra vacation?

Impress me, don’t bore me! Be Original!

The objective of every sales professional is to sell. In today’s economy finding people willing to buy is harder then ever. If you rely on pre-arranged appointments, you often stumble into sales meetings with your usual sales kit. But can you really impress? It’s not just the message you bring across, are you memorable?
