4 Mistakes New Salespeople Commonly Make

In the sales world, there are many things that salesmen and saleswomen must know not to do before going into sales. It’s more of like a little sales for beginners so they do not make mistakes that new salespeople have made in the past. The first mistake that new salespeople make is talking too much to their buyers when explaining and selling their product. When selling a product or products to your buyer you should not be talking the entire time, instead be listening to your customer, asking questions, and listening to their answers to those. The second mistake is focusing too much on the product and not the customer. Sometimes when people are new to sales they go in and have a routine of just explaining the product and what is good about it and what it does well and can help the buyer with. Instead as the salesperson, your focus should be on the customer and what you can do to help them and what the product can do to assist their needs. A third mistake they make is fearing rejection from their buyer/customer. Rejection is sales should be used as an event to help you improve in your sales skills and become better in your sales experiences. Fearing rejection will just ruin your sales experience and hurt the way you sell to your customers. Another is not following up with your customers after either securing a deal or a meeting of a potential deal. Following up after securing a deal is a good thing because it keeps a good relationship with your buyer and can help secure future sales with your product and that customer. Following up with a customer after a potential sale or a sale in the works is important because it reminds the buyer of your product and your company. It also shows you care about the buyer and creating a relationship with the customer.
