Greed in Sales
My guess is that you have never give n thought to why a prospect you are seeing is so adamant about getting the best price and best product you can supply. Many salespeople feel that the potential buyer is plan greedy…but isn’t that what you as the seller want?
Suppose that you went to see a new potential buyer, and they were not focused on getting the right deal for themselves. What does that tell you about their buying patter, or for that matter what do they think about the opportunity of working with you.
We want and need buyers to feel strongly about the products they buy. When you meet with someone for the first time, the only thing you know if that they are not buy from you.
Taking that fact into consideration, suppose you merely said, “I am curious, you not buying from us…is there a reason?” What might be the answer.
The answer might just reveal the actual reason staying with their current vendor which you can then overcome. Remember, too, that where the objection enters the conversation has a lot to say about the validity of the objection.
Further, many salespeople see any statement as an objection when many are only questions that need to be answered.
There is an axiom that I teach salespeople all the time:
Set it up,
Set it up,
Put it down and then,
SUT UP.
I hoped this helps you, and I stand by, awaiting your questions concerns.
