How to Get Your Customers Talking
Introduction
To sell your products effectively, you must first understand your customers and their needs. The key? Get them talking.
Overcoming Initial Barriers
Engaging a prospective customer can be challenging. Many people have preconceived notions about salespeople, seeing them as pushy or intrusive, like a persistent used car salesman or a department store attendant eager to spritz perfume. They may also fear wasting money on unnecessary products.
The Power of Conversation
However, starting a conversation isn't as daunting as it seems. Most people enjoy discussing their job, company, family, or pets. If you encounter initial resistance, try saying:
"I'm sorry to bother you, but may I ask what you do for a living?"
Chances are, most people will be happy to share their job and company details. Everyone takes pride in their work, and you can use this to your advantage.
Building the Conversation
Once they open up, encourage them to elaborate with prompts like:
"That's fascinating! How did you choose this career path?"
or
"How long have you been in this field?"
As they speak, listen attentively and identify opportunities to guide the conversation towards their needs.
Aligning Solutions with Needs
As you listen, look for ways to match your products to their requirements. Even if you don't make an immediate sale, you've begun building a valuable relationship.
The Importance of Listening
Listening intently allows you to uncover details that can deepen the conversation. This can lead to understanding the customer's true needs and how your products can fulfill them.
Building Relationships
Remember, the conversation has just begun. Not every interaction will result in a sale right away, but it's a critical step in building a rapport with your customer.
Conclusion
People love to talk about themselves?"their jobs, hobbies, and passions. By engaging them in conversation, you’re paving the way for stronger relationships and increased sales.
