In truth the topic of sales and effective selling is way too complex to whittle down and fit into a quick blog. It's much easier for me to tell you what the The Ultimate Sales Approach isn't, so let's get started:
• It's not learning a killer script off by heart then regurgitating it onto the prospective client's desk as soon as you get the chance.
• It's not opening with a huge amount of detail about who you are and what makes you special.
• It's definitely is not you doing all the talking and asking no questions.
• It's definitely not about you shining your credentials for ten minutes before you find out exactly what the customer is looking for.
• It's not about 'do or die' or 'drive by' sales as I like to call it. You know, the attitude of getting in, getting the sale and getting out as soon as possible.
• It's not about expecting to form a long lasting relationship with one call or visit.
• It's not about forgetting about the customer once the sale is concluded.
• In fact, it's not about 'sales'.
The last point bears elaboration. By now you are probably getting the picture that selling is about forming relationships and building on those, which is why I say it's not about "sales". It's actually all about effective communication, pure and simple. It takes skill and it takes time. And it takes a professional - something no one can be without proper training and experience.
