To differentiate an average sales rep from a professional sales rainmaker with midas touch, some additional set of skills and methodologies are required. Most people believe that you can sell if you can talk. However, selling is not just about talking and pitching your potential customers of what you\u2019re selling. And selling like a pro is like a well-executed dance, with highly fluid sequence and steps. That’s what makes a difference between a struggling sales rep and professional sales rep!<\/p>\n

\"sales-productivity-tools\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s focus on 5 effective professional selling skills that can help you take your business to the next level.<\/p>\n

The Art of Opening<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sales conversation opening is as good as your research. Once you\u2019ve researched your prospect and understood his or her needs you need to ensure that you have the right approach. A well executed opening will allow the customer to understand what you have to offer. Mastering the art of Opening is a critical part of professional selling. Because what you\u2019re about to say will make a great impression on your customer\u2019s mind and will make or break your deal.<\/p>\n

To ensure you have the right opening you need to be good at researching your prospect. A lack of insights skillfully gathered about the prospect can lead to poor opening and can ruin your chances to sell.<\/p>\n

\n

PRO TIP:<\/strong> Linkedin, twitter, personal blog posts, alumni list are all various ways to research about your prospect thoroughly before you call him. Use similarities and common connections to break the ice and position a solid \u2018opening\u2019 to your cold call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Art of Probing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even before you get into the selling mode, as a professional sales person you need to know what you really want to do. Most sales people are not sure where they are going and, therefore, they won\u2019t get there.<\/p>\n

As a professional you should have a goal in your mind so that you can prepare yourself accordingly to achieve that particular goal. If you have no goal, you cannot achieve it.<\/p>\n

Generally, sales people say that all they need is a good prospect to whom they can sell their products. However, salespeople must be asking questions in the right way so that they can be in a better position to sell their products to any customer. Real sales professionals have an exhaustive set of questions ready and they are never afraid to ask them. In-fact they have rehearsed those questions in various role plays or live customer interactions.<\/p>\n

\n

PRO TIP:<\/strong> Create your list of top probing questions against each customer persona. A healthy mix of open ended and closed ended questions (eg. Yes\/No responses) are recommended. And with that kind of probing you can uncover your customers\u2019 needs and offer them solutions that they would purchase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” bg_color=”#013648″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” class=”subscribe-us” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ el_class=”sub-font” width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1460979266807{margin-bottom: 1% !important;}”]\n

The Art of Empathy (and understanding)<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a sales deal, you and your customer both have important information to receive and give. So, when a customer is looking for salespeople they are actually looking for a partner with a long term differentiator that can support his or her needs. As a sales person, you need to empathize with the customer, understand what he actually needs and then offer any solution.<\/p>\n

\n

While you are an expert about your product, your customer is an expert of his needs. Respect that.<\/h4>\n
\n

A successful deal is one where both sides are winning and happy because happy customers mean loyal customers. As a sales person you need to acknowledge their needs and provide those features and benefits that relate to their needs. Customers\u2019 acceptance, rather than pushing your views, is what will move your sales forward.<\/p>\n

\n

PRO TIP:<\/strong> Match the body language if you are meeting in persona & match the pace of breath and tone with your prospect to create connection. Take pauses, go silent without filler \u2018listening words\u2019 and every few minutes just paraphrase and repeat what Mr. Prospect to build that connection. Subconsciously, you will feel in his shoes to some extent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Art of Persuasion<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are times when customer has a different viewpoint and everything that you say falls on deaf ears. This can be quite frustrating especially when you are trying to \u201cmake a sale\u201d<\/em> and doing your best to convince your customer to purchase the products. You have to ensure that your customer is aware of his problems and you are ready to educate him.<\/p>\n

As a sales representative, you need to understand that selling is all about need satisfaction. If the customer feels there is no need – you cannot make a sale. You cannot create need but only make your prospect aware of it. \u00a0Being pushy will only drive away your potential customer because he or she will soon realize that you\u2019re just another desperate sales person trying to earn a commission.<\/p>\n

Making a prospect feel the need and its impact is not as much in your hand as it is in their willingness to learn. However, educating him on \u201cperfect world\u201d possibilities and challenging him to move out of comfort zone is. That\u2019s the art of persuasion formula.<\/p>\n

\"the-persuasion-formula\"<\/p>\n

A professional salesman holds his hand and challenge him to move out of the comfort zone. And by doing so, you need to be handling customer\u2019s indifference. It is important because most of the times customers will have a different opinion which might hurt your sale.<\/p>\n

\n

PRO TIP:<\/strong> The real tipping point in sale happens when you \u2018challenge\u2019 the customer backed by education & awareness. If you want to take this professional selling skill one level ahead, learn to challenge his view point and perception. Not in a confrontational way, but supported with intent to educate. It would make him or her realize that you\u2019re there to help make a right decision. Reading \u201cThe Challenger sale\u201d is highly recommended for new age sales person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Art of Closing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once the customer has accepted to purchase the product or service you have to offer, you close that deal. Or so it might seem. Because sales deals don\u2019t close, they just happen (as a result of following 4 steps above effectively). However, the \u2018formality\u2019 of closing a deal is certainly the final step to seal customer\u2019s commitment. So it is still an important skill worthy of mastering.<\/p>\n

While closing seems like a simple task where you confirm that the customer has made up his mind to purchase the products or service, it is critical for sales people to know how to close and when to close.<\/p>\n

Closing a deal is formalized by that signature on the \u201cgolden contract paper\u201d. Obvious isn\u2019t it. In fact it is so obvious that the assumption that sign off will happen most naturally and with no friction, takes many sales rep by surprise.<\/p>\n

\n

PRO TIP:<\/strong> The sign off process, even if you assume to be simple, must be explicitly brought up in closing conversation early on. In fact, the big close is really the art of managing mini-closures along the way i.e. you should ask or test customer for closure at each stage of your sales process. Example: At demo -stage, you may ask \u201cIf I do a great job of showing your challenges can be addressed with our product, would you be able to sign off on the paper?\u201d (and there are many variations to this question for every stage, of course)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, With the right selling skills you can certainly turn opportunities into success and improve your sales performance.<\/p>\n

All in all, selling is not just about talking, but effective communication. This can only happen if you understand the needs of your customer and then offer the right solutions. It also involves the tone of your voice and your body language that also showcases your confidence to make a lasting impression on the minds of your customers.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”1506″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In From Bottom”][vc_column_text]Become a master of these 5 arts and you will become a professional sales rep.
