Humans are notoriously bad at hiding their intentions. We all know the eager salesman who walks into a meet, where everyone in the room can read him like an open book. For those who do know, however, hiding intentions is often viewed as a shameful thing. Concealment of your goals can be seen as misleading or worse, outright deceit. More often than not this holds true, like the charismatic but devious car salesman who only wanted to help you find your “Dream ride” and stuck you with a lemon. Perhaps there is a third option then. If we cannot wear our selling intent on our sleeves, or conceal it, then perhaps we must change our intent entirely.<\/p>\n

The importance behind changing our intent isn’t obvious as first, but it becomes obvious in the light of proper sales practice. It becomes hard to ask your client questions, for example, if all you can think about is closing your sale. Therefore, we should change our intention from selling the product to helping the client. Remember that you client is considering buying your product because it will help them. Very few clients buy because they want to see their money in your hands. Therefore, by aligning our intentions with the clients we not only brush off our bad looks but connect with the client on a deeper level.<\/p>\n

So we must remember, if we are to sell to our client then we must recognize why our client wants to buy in the first place. Ask questions, get to know them, and before you know it you will have made the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
