My final sales presentation was my first time in the hot seat in front of the class, and if I’m being completely honest, I really enjoyed my time there.\u00a0 Going up was really nerve-wracking, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but once I was on, I really settled in.\u00a0 Sales is mostly improvisational, so there is really no way to prepare for a conversation like this, but there were a few things that I kept in mind going into it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always, ALWAYS, keep asking questions.\u00a0 Sales is all about getting to know your clientele, and just like you would when meeting a stranger for the first time, you want to ask as many questions as possible to get to know where they are coming from.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not talk about yourself.\u00a0 This is not about you!\u00a0 If the buyer has a legitimate question about your business, they will ask you about it and you can talk logistics, but there is no real need to explain unless they ask.\u00a0 The buyer does not want to hear about you, YOU want to hear about the BUYER.<\/li>\n
  3. Know how to control the conversation.\u00a0 The asker always has the most control!\u00a0 In a sales conversation, you want to be able to ask questions that push the customer in the way that you want.\u00a0 Knowing how to ask pointed questions in a certain direction can aid in this task.<\/li>\n
  4. Be genuine and honest.\u00a0 Customers can sniff out dishonesty faster than a police dog can smell marijuana, and it is neither difficult nor taxing to just be frank with the customer.\u00a0 Try to work with them, try to figure out where they’re coming from, and if you can make a deal, make a deal!\u00a0 If not, there’s always another customer around the corner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
