Sales Techniques In China

by

My husband and I have just returned from a 7 night tour to China

The Sales Techniques Common To Each Place Visited Were:-

  1. We were only taken to government- owned centres so we could be confident that  their goods were authentic.We were told the prices were fixed, so there was no need to bargain.
  2. They had excellent English speakers as guides who were interesting, credible and they educated us first before selling.
  3. They all used the same selling technique of creating fear of what would happen to you if you did not  purchase their offer. They knew they had a target market of over 60s who would be interested in preventing death, heart attack, high cholesterol, arthritis  etc. Therefore they customised their message to their market well.

How To Engage A Prospect In A Conversation

by

As the leader in telesales training in Australia I am constantly looking for more effective ways to do cold calling and telephone sales generally.  I was blown away by the information I learnt from a speaker called Sam Richter at the National Speakers Association  conference in San Diego which I attended a couple of weeks ago. I can’t wait to share this with you as it can relate so well to sales.

1. You know, if you have read any of my newsletters,  that  I advocate finding out something about the prospect before calling so you can make a cold call a warm call. Well, now it’s easy to find out about a company or a person by using google filters.
For example search in google for a company name like “Trend Micro”.  If you write it in inverted commas it will come up top and save you time going through all the irrelevant searches that come up.  Then click on “News” at the top, then click on “Search Tools” at the top for most recent news and all the latest articles written about the company or by the company will appear.  You can then start your call with “I just did a google search on your company and saw your latest article about _____.  That’s really interesting.  I’m curious, how did that affect you?”  or “What happened exactly?” Often the prospect has not even seen the article himself and will be asking you more about the content. You are then engaged in a conversation about them which is just what you want to build rapport.

Never Delete People Off Your Database

by

Happy New Year! I hope you made some good New Year’s resolutions.

One of my major messages to people I train is “Never delete people off your database”. You see, you never know when people are going to be ready to buy from you in the future.  Their situations change and they are going to do business with the salesperson who keeps in touch with them, the salesperson who shows they care about them, the salesperson who demonstrates consistency so they know they can rely up them.

Let’s look at the idea of a telesales person selling new cars calling 10 people. Probably only one person is interested in looking for a new car right now and the other 9 are not.  However if this person were to call the same people in 6 months time, they might get another person interested out of the remaining 9. If they were to call again in 12 months time, yet another person might be interested. It is worth keeping all these people on the database then isn’t it?  That’s how telemarketing works. My favourite saying is “No” means “No, not now, not forever”.

When I was working in the seminar industry promoting Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Tom Hopkins and Jim Rohn I worked in a team of 10. Everyone except me used to delete people off the database if they said “No, not interested” on the first call. I was aware that they might not want to see the speaker I was calling about but I realised that there would be other speakers to offer them in the future that might interest them.  I was in business for the long term so why delete people with whom you have already started to build rapport? You can put your initial “Nos” into a separate folder in your database to be brought out for the next time you have something to offer.

Secrets to Getting Your Sales Emails Opened

by

So how many of the sales emails that you write get deleted before they are read? If the subject line doesn’t grab your prospects immediately, it will certainly get deleted.

A recent survey resulted in the 2013 Adestra Subject line Analysis Report . It reviewed over 2 billion corporate emails and discovered the words in the subject line that are most likely and least likely to have your emails opened. Here they are below :-

Words that increase the open rate of corporate emails
