Commitment Driven Sales Process - Buyer - Seller Sales Funnel

Buy Cycle Sales Funnel

Having a well developed sales process is critical to success in any economy but is especially important today when buyers have so many competitive choices.

It is common for sales people to be optimistic about their sales pipelines that they lose sight of the need for buyer and seller commitment to successfully close the deal. A commitment driven model is more realistic as it is benefit driven rather than featured focused.

The customer must be interviewed to acknowledge to the sales person their problem and the pain the problem is causing.

The funding stage is the next step. The customer (buyer and seller) must commit to spend a defined amount of money to make the problem go away and the desire to no longer live with the pain.

Time defined commitment to next steps and timelines can then be created. Many clients are visual and work best to deadlines. The result is improved meetings and more frequent closings.

Improve Sales Results - Six Steps to Improve Listening Skills

Six Steps to Improving Selling Listening Skills

With practice and conscious resolve, a salesperson can acquire the mental agility to become a better listener by mastering these six "mental listening exercises": Vince Lombardi once said, "It's not practice makes perfect, its PERFECT practice makes perfect

1) Learn to "listen ahead":

By "listening ahead", trying to anticipate where a discussion is leading to, during the dialogue, determining the conclusion in advance of your required response allows you to relax and improve information absorption

2) Learn to periodically validate communicated information:

By mentally striving to validate the accuracy and completeness of information points made by the prospect, especially during pauses in the dialogue, (which can be achieved with note taking), you can allow yourself to absorb more information easier, especially information forthcoming in the continued dialogue

3) Utilize "Active Listening" techniques:

By periodically, mentally summarizing the major points communicated by the prospect and voicing, reaffirming your interpretation of the points made back to the prospect you add a tremendous amount of clarity to the information exchanged thus far

4) Strive to understand versus "Judging":

By working to consciously understand what the prospect is saying versus the natural tendency of judging - approving or disapproving what is said will allow you to absorb what is actually said more than any other listening development technique

5) Use your eyes to "get the rest of the story"

By listening with your eyes, paying attention to the prospect's body language, their nonverbal facial and body movements or hand gestures you can see what the whole body is trying to tell you, not just the mouth!

6) Maintain a mental repertoire of common responses:

By mentally developing and rehearsing how you are going to strategically respond to common sales prospect purchase objections, for example, in advance of a sales call, allows you to listen more effectively. A comprehensive mental inventory of common responses will also give you more confidence in any selling situation.
