In this role play, I had to sell my moms olive oil to professor Sweet who was a Italian store owner. Unfortunately, this was a struggle for me because instead of getting Professor Sweet talking, I did most of the talking describing my product and the benefits of it. I did not follow one of the important steps in Coach Dedinados sales funnel which was let the prospect do most of the talking by asking them open ended questions. I should&#8217;ve done this by asking the Professor Sweet questions like: How long has he been in business, how many locations does he have, has he himself been to Italy before, Etc. These questions would have been a smart way to get him talking while simultaneously make a connection with him which will improve our overall relationship. After the sales role play, Professor Sweet told us that we shouldn&#8217;t jump the gun in selling by answer the unasked question. This means don&#8217;t jump the gun and start answering questions about your product that the prospect has not even asked yet.<\/p>\n<p>I think doing the sales roleplay was very valuable because it showed me that I need to ask open ended questions and keep the prospect talking and engaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday in class we did some role plays about selling our product or our company.
