Capture Opportunities First
How often have competitors snagged your potential clients by seemingly having the inside track? It's likely because the buyer went with their "emotional favorite."Successful selling isn't just about showcasing product value; it's about demonstrating why doing business with you is beneficial. You must become the buyer's emotional favorite. This involves:
1. Offering a compelling product that meets a need.
2. Building credibility.
3. Timing your approach perfectly.
While some claim timing is crucial, seasoned professionals know it's everything.
With many credible businesses out there, to truly excel in sales, you must be among the first to engage with motivated buyers. Here’s how you can achieve that:
1. Volume Strategy: Reach out to many prospects to find motivated buyers.
2. Referrals: Get informed about a buyer's needs through referrals.
3. Becoming an Emotional Favorite: Ensure buyers think of you first.
The Advantage of Being First
Meeting a buyer at their moment of need is key. Once they start envisioning a solution within the framework of a particular vendor’s product, they become emotionally invested. People make decisions quickly and move on.The Importance of Becoming the Emotional Favorite
When needing a product or service, don’t most people contact someone they trust and who’s consistently added value to their business or career? They go to their emotional favorite.To thrive, you must transcend just being known, liked, and trusted. You need to be the person buyers want to see succeed.
Building Emotional Favoritism
To become this trusted resource, learn to ask insightful questions right from your first meeting and at the end of every sales call.Think of the last time you encountered a stereotypical salesperson who immediately pitched their offer. Wasn't it easy to disengage? You don’t want to be lost in a list of contacts rarely revisited.
Asking Effective Questions
Instead of rushing in, use open-ended questions. Discuss the impacts of industry changes or technology shifts. Share relevant insights, and then inquire about their main challenges. They’ll likely provide useful responses.Frame questions outside your salesperson-buyer dynamic, which can narrow the buyer's responses to immediate products or services. Begin with: "Let's set aside what I do for ABC Company for a moment..."
Ask:
- "What's the biggest issue you're struggling with?"
- "What's something you’re searching for but can’t find?"
- "What's a problem you can't satisfactorily solve?"
Be patient. When the buyer pauses, wait silently for six seconds; often, they’ll offer deeper insights. You’ll discover the problem's impact, sometimes beyond their initial explanation.
Even if you can’t provide the solution, perhaps you know a colleague who can.
Benefits of Strategic Questioning
- Gain deeper insights into buyers and their organizations.- Enhance relationships even when they don’t need your product.
- Increase face-to-face interactions with prospects and clients.
- Uncover potential selling opportunities.
Buyers rarely mention needs unrelated to what you sell. By asking the right questions, you unlock new avenues to differentiate yourself and promote your products or services.
