Dare to Ditch the Script and Start a Genuine Conversation!
Summary:
Transform your sales approach by building real connections with customers. "It's an amazing feeling," says Helen Robinson, "when you establish that rapport and trust."Article:
Forget the scripted sales pitch; start engaging in real conversations with your customers. Helen Robinson captures it perfectly: "It's an amazing feeling when you feel the rapport and mutual trust you're building with the customer."
I remember my own initiation into sales through telemarketing. The nerves were so intense that I can't recall what I was selling. Our sales trainer assured me that reading from the script would be enough. So I found a quiet corner desk and dialed my first lead, introducing myself and launching into the script. Everything seemed fine until the gentleman asked a question. Panic set in?"I thought, "This wasn't in the training! There are no questions in the script!" Silently, I broke into a sweat, lost my place, and felt my throat close. Thankfully, he didn't know me, so I just hung up. In retrospect, it was quite silly.
That experience taught me a vital lesson: I needed a new mindset. The person on the other end knew nothing about me. The only way they'd engage was if I sounded warm, friendly, and polite. I learned to ask questions and actually wait for responses. After all, nobody enjoys a caller who asks how you are but doesn’t wait for an answer.
Imagine building trust and creating loyal customers for yourself and your company. You don’t rely on a script. Instead, gain deep knowledge about your company and its offerings before picking up the phone. Aim to be relaxed and help your customer feel the same.
One of my favorite examples of this approach was when a business owner called, requesting information. I tried to spark a conversation, but all I received were yes or no answers. His business involved pretzel concessions in movie theaters, which made me think he seemed not unfriendly but possibly shy or having a rough day. As he gave me his details, I suddenly asked, "Do they come with mustard?" There was a long silence. I clarified, "The pretzels, do they come with mustard?" He burst out laughing, and I felt relieved. I knew then he would become a customer?"he did, and he genuinely enjoyed hearing from me for reorders.
The takeaway? Believe in what you're selling, know your product thoroughly, and enjoy speaking to your prospects. Relax, engage genuinely, and the orders will follow.
