9. Lets see an example: Standard Home Ad The brokers ran typical, standard ads in New York Times - “Cozy six-room home, with fireplace, garage, tile baths, all hot water heat, close to campus, stadium, golf courses, and primary school.” Five brokers were trying to sell this house for three months!!! Why was the owner Mrs Lowe selling the house? - to buy a larger one since space was becoming a problem. Her analysis of the ad - Those are facts, but people do not buy facts or even benefits unless they can see those benefits translated to their own personal use. Direction One Consulting
10. Mrs Lowe’s Ad: The owner Mrs Lowe, was a housewife with a background in advertising. She designed another ad which contained her feelings for her home, combined with her sense of what makes good advertising Here’s the way the ad ran: We’ll Miss Our Home We’ve been happy in it but two bedrooms are not enough for us, so we must move. If you like to be cozy by a fire while you admire autumn woods through wide windows, protected from the street, if you like a shady yard in summer, a clear view of winter sunsets, and quiet enough to hear frogs in spring, but city utilities and conveniences, you might like to buy our home. We hope so. We don’t want it to be empty and alone at Christmas. Out of the six responses the next day, one person bought the home. Direction One Consulting

21. How do we measure the efficiency of the Research sub-process?Direction One Consulting
22. Using a Catalyst Acquiring information about a customer is a complex activity & too difficult to be done alone. Need a Catalyst who: knows the customer. wants you to succeed with that customer. does not gain financially from your success. Direction One Consulting
23. The Concept of the Catalyst Who can be a catalyst: Existing Customers. Friends. Non-competitive suppliers to the same customer – what else do rich people buy? Community service. Batchmates / alumni Six degrees of separation. Linked in / Facebook Direction One Consulting
24. Using Catalysts as a multiplier Who gives references? On every call, ask “could you connect me to friends and colleagues of yours who may be having some investible funds?” Call friend, say “need to discuss possibilities, do KYC”. After meeting call back original source, keep source informed, thank the person. Send sms, connect on FB / LI. Direction One Consulting

32. A way of working which is…. Research oriented, not push but pull. Not dependent on one individual or department. Relationships are built first by sound needs analysis, the sale automatically follows. Discounting, if at all, happens only AFTER the business is confirmed! Direction One Consulting
36. How do we know we have done this well?Direction One Consulting
37. Objections You are highly unlikely to ever meet a customer who says – wow, where were you, I was waiting for you, what amount do I write on the cheque?…….
39. Handling objections Look at them as a buying signal - think of what would happen if your customer said nothing!!!. Probe – use open questions The power of knowledge! Never argue – agree with feeling, not necessarily with the statement. Direction One Consulting
40. Give discounts / your price is high Good things are not cheap, cheap things aren’t good. Nobody gives discounts because their products are selling too well. Are they so desperate? What would be more important to you - price or cost? Then elaborate on cost. Give examples of other premium products where the customer has paid more – eg for men / women. Direction One Consulting
41. Give discounts / your price is high “Maybe I did not explain the value of my product well!” People who give discounts generally cut corners elsewhere in areas where customers do not notice (especially in service). Reduce the excess price over life of the product. Reduce the profile of product being offered. Actually our product is not meant for everybody…. “xxxx” customers cannot be wrong (give national sales data). Direction One Consulting
42. Let me think over it Is there something about my product or company that you are unsure of? Is there something about me that you are unsure of? Quite simply, your business is important to me & you will not regret your decision to purchase this product. Could we start the paperwork now? Direction One Consulting
43. (You come to know) I am not the decision-maker Stop selling immediately. Besides you, who else would be involved in the decision? Do not sell through, use relationship to map customer. Plan to meet the decision maker directly – going top-down is faster. Direction One Consulting
44. I’m happy with my service provider Definitely, lots of xxx owners…… Share examples from similar profile. The best time to look for a new supplier / job is when you are happy with your old job. Single supplier relationships sometimes lead to complacency from the supplier’s side. Give us 20% of the business, both of us would stay alert to providing good service. Direction One Consulting
45. Previous bad experience with your service Find out why. Then tell the truth to customer. Show you are sweating. Say – “thanks, your feedback helped us…………”. Explain how things are different now. Close. Direction One Consulting
46. On the phone – I’m not interested The worst that would happen is that both of us would have made a new acquaintance. Ask for references. Ask for permission to call later. Direction One Consulting
49. How do we know we have done this well?Direction One Consulting
50. Win with Closing Skills Ask for the order. Balance Sheet Close Direction One Consulting
51. Ask for the Order The ABC of sales. The simplest most effective way to close. And the most powerful. Direction One Consulting
52. Balance Sheet Close To be used during competitive sales pitches. Take a blank sheet of paper, draw a line down the center. On the left, list down advantages of yr product. Atleast 7. On the right side, put ONLY the heading – advantages of “competition product”. Pass sheet to customer. Ask customer to fill up the right column. DO NOT HELP THE CUSTOMER AT THIS POINT. Customer will most likely struggle. After some time say “Our product really would be the most suitable for your needs………” Direction One Consulting
53. A way of working which is…. Smart & matured. Relationships defined as knowledge, are built first, the sale automatically follows. Discount, that too much less - only AFTER the business is confirmed! Direction One Consulting
55. 7 steps to action! 1. Visualize what you want in personal and professional life. 2. Select one activity – implement the 21 day rule. 3. Be like the deer in commitment. 4. Announce your action plan to all. 5. Use the help of other people - appoint a buddy/ nagger. 6. Write it down, send to buddy / nagger. 7. Discuss with manager. Direction One Consulting
