How to Use 5 Sure-Fire Selling Tips to Double Your Sales

 

It makes no difference what product you sell or service you provide these five, sure-fire selling tips could make a huge difference to your sales figures.

Make it Easy for the Prospect to Make a Buying Decision

It is important not to confuse your prospects by giving them a wide a choice. After discussing your products with your prospects make it easy for them to make a definite buying decision by narrowing the choice. It's a good idea to narrow the choice to as few as two different items.

After showing the customer a range of products and narrowing down the choice to two items in which the customer has shown an interest, you casually ask:

"Which of the two do you prefer?"

Don't Fall into the Trap of Underselling.

Quite apart from losing the opportunity to sell a high priced item, you could offend the customers by giving them the impression you consider they cannot afford the more expensive article.

On the other hand, be very careful not to belittle the less expensive item, otherwise there is a real danger of losing the sale altogether

Maintain a delicate balance all the time. And don't forget to always try and qualify the prospect by tactful questioning

Make Use of the Names of Satisfied Buyers

This is a powerful selling technique when used correctly.

You have made certain claims for your product, but it is more likely to impress the prospect if you are able to validate your claims by mentioning the names previous satisfied customers or clients.

Never be Shy to Ask for the Order.

A great many people involved in sales often lose the order because of fear of rejection, due to shyness! Never be shy to ask for the order! The absolute worst that can happen to you is that the prospect is going to say No!

You are certainly not going to be assaulted!

After describing all the features of your product and the benefits your customers will derive from using it, follow up with simple words like:

"Can I send you one?" "Will one be enough?" "When would you like us to arrange delivery? "Would you like to have it today or will tomorrow be alright? "Will you be satisfied with just one?"

Always Create a Sense of Urgency.

The prospect must know that there is a limited time to take advantage of the special offer you are making. It is important this is stated in print to validate your statement. There must be a sense of genuine urgency. The customer must know that unless a definite and immediate decision is made they are going to miss a tremendous bargain opportunity.
