No one wants to be the pushy salesperson. We’ve all run into one at some point and it was memorably bad. But you can’t let that fear stop you from becoming a GREAT salesperson. You can learn the sales skills you need to help you start closing more deals today!
Being a great salesperson and a pushy salesperson are not the same thing!
In one of the groups I’m a part of, a woman asked the question this week “What should I do to get better at business? I’m working hard, I’m following all the steps they tell me to do, but I just can’t seem to get my MLM business up and running.”
Of course she was flooded with comments about “Join my MLM.” “Maybe it’s the products, mine are amazing.” “We don’t even sell in our company we just share and the product sells itself.” “Maybe you need more support. In my business I …”
It was pretty cringy. Instead I asked her, “How are your sales skills?”
And her response was, “Okay I think. I’m just not a high pressure sales person.”
What that told me was, she is not okay. Because she thinks in order to be good, you’ve got to be high pressure. Not the case at ALL!
Learning to sell is a critical skill for EVERY SINGLE business owner and entrepreneur!
So for this week’s blog, and VLOG We are talking about sales! Check out my 4 weird sales tricks that WORK!
- Best friend test: Talk to your clients like you would talk to your best friend if you want to build trust and rapport!
- Spend ¾ of your time listening and asking questions. ¼ selling. If you will ask the right questions, and listen closely, your clients will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to close the deal.
- Push/ Pull/ Take Away: Sales conversations need to have movement. Otherwise the feel sluggish or pushy. It’s about having a balance of knowing when to push, knowing when to pull back, and knowing when to take the offer off the table.
- Popcorn: This is a tip for increasing your sales when you close groups. Watch the video because it takes a minute to explain, but seriously, you’ll see your sales double or triple when you employ this skill.
