Jitendra RauloAre you having a tough time when it comes to getting clients on board with your products/services? If you are putting in your best efforts, it becomes essential that you bear results out of that. Otherwise, all your efforts get directed to a dead end. We do not want you to get stuck in that endless loop. Getting things right is easier than you think. Here is a proven 8-step sales process that will enable you to close more deals.
Why You Need a Sales Process
If your conversations with clients often end up going in circles, it’s time to streamline your approach. A structured sales process not only enhances your efficiency but also ensures that you consistently deliver value to your clients. Let’s break it down step by step.
- A Good Greeting = A Good Start
How would you prefer starting your day? With a “Good morning, hope you have a good day” greeting from your colleague or with a scolding remark from your boss? With a pleasing good morning greeting from your toddler or an argument with your spouse? Need we say more? Your clients are important. Sure, you have a professional relationship with them, but there’s no harm in adding a good human touch.
Always make sure to engage well! Leave a positive first impression on your client.
- Frame a Good Conversation to Start With
It’s always better when a conversation interests both parties. Don’t get stuck with small talk. Research and diagnose before you present anything. Ask meaningful questions:
- Tell me about your business?
- What problems are you facing?
- Do you have a target in mind?
- Repeat and Follow Up
After the initial conversation, repeat your key points and go through them again. Revise what you understood and check with your clients if they think you’re missing out on something. Let them know that you heard them right. Make them feel that the conversations they have with you truly matter.
- Present Effective Solutions
After understanding your clients’ needs, it’s time to make a strategic move in your sales process. You’ve heard them. You know what they want. Now, don’t present and sell what is best according to you. Instead, present, show, and sell what your clients need.
Bring up and present solutions to all the key points they talked about. Show your clients that you have the ultimate solution for them.
- Listen to Their Objections
After presenting your solutions, give your clients some time to digest the information. If they raise objections, take the time to address them. Understand their concerns and objections to getting started with the work. This will help you bridge the gap between your offerings and their expectations.
- Show Them That Working With You Is Worth It
Even after addressing objections, there’s more to the sales process. If you believe that your product/service is still the right fit for them, remind them of the solution. Explain how it will add value and benefit them. Let them see the worth of their problem being resolved.
- Make an Offer They Can’t Refuse
Don’t leave things open-ended after your conversation. Prepare an offer with clear pricing and guide them with a call to action. Demonstrate why your offer provides value for their investment. This will instill confidence and trust in your client.
- Start Working With Them
It’s now time to conclude the sales process. Always show your enthusiasm and never let it seem like you are letting things slip away. Be direct and ask your client when you can start working with them. Set a schedule and confirm the dates for your next call. Send an email summarizing the points to be discussed in your next meeting.
