Sales Techniques

If you are in doubt that your prospect will respond positively to the deal that you have proposed, then it is time to think again about your closing techniques and strategies.

Closing a deal with any prospect is the hardest nut to crack. Most of the sales representatives would concur with this assertion.

How then do you approach the potential customer to quickly complete the deal?

You can accomplish this through a variety of methods, but consistent and efficient time management should be the main ingredients in your recipe. Many sales agents struggle to locate either of these traits, despite both being common.

A sales closing technique is a sales strategy that sales reps can use to move the prospect closer to closing the sale and converting them into a paying customer. These methods of approaching the prospect can guide a sales representative in handling different prospects and their objections.

What are the key elements of some common sales closing techniques?

• tactics to deal with the prospect’s objections.
• way of presenting the offer to the prospect.
• Using time as a currency to get your way with the prospect
• Using a price quotation to suit the prospect

• The prospect does not see value for the price paid

Both of these issues can be handled without offering the price cut or discount.

In the scenario, where the prospect does not realize the value of your product and services, your efforts should be to make them realize that. Direct your pitch on the value your company can provide in contrast to the price that you offer.

What are the two approaches to closing the deal?

Traditional and modern sales techniques are two ways to close the deal. The traditional approach uses more hard-sell tactics as compared to the modern approach, which uses a more subtle way to close sales.

The now-or-never strategy treats time like a finite resource. In order to build urgency, the sales agent must present the offer to the prospect. This strategy coerces the customer to choose to buy.

The largest obstacle to closing a deal is when the price and the prospect’s needs are out of sync.

In other words, they don’t require every feature you’re offering. Here, adjusting services to the needs of the customer will lower the cost of the final product as well.

The assumption of closing is predicated on the idea that you have confidence in your ability to close this deal from the minute you start working on it.

Your use of terminology throughout suggests that you consider the sale to be a “done deal.” The secret is to follow up with your prospect frequently, gauge their degree of interest, deal with any objections, and ascertain whether they share your viewpoints.

Do you remember the TV sleuth Columbo? Many accomplished salespeople use his catchphrase, “Just one more thing,” as their credo.

When a suspect assumed Columbo had finished with them, he would put them on the spot by turning back and requesting “one more thing” as he walked away. This last-ditch sales tactic can persuade a consumer to stay once you believe they are about to depart.

Some people are constantly exposed to sales pitches, so they recognise they are in the driver’s seat and may ask for extras or discounts since they know you’ll expect them to. A sales pro can catch these seasoned negotiators off guard by using the Sharp Angle Close to deal with them.

Give them what they want, but with a price, if you have their permission: “Sure, I can give you three months of service for 10% off, but only if you sign the contract today.”

In order to close a sale, you can urge your sales prospect to make a number of minor promises. This is known as the “Ben Franklin close.” You may, for instance, request that your sales prospects sign a sales contract, pay a deposit, or agree to a trial purchase from you. With the help of this sales closing strategy, you may persuade your prospective customer to make promises that will eventually result in a sale.

For instance, “Mr. Prospect, I understand that you might be hesitant to buy anything today. However, I can promise you that my sales manager will approve a special sales discount if we work together on this sales order. I’ll email you a sales agreement as well, so we can both agree on it.

From the above discussion you have a better understanding of the ways to close the deal but it’s easier said than done.
