How to close without sounding like a salesman:
So the trick is not to sound like a salesman when you
are in front of a potential customer. Let them have
the impression that they’re in control. They don’t
want to see a wide-eyed sales person circling around
them and salivating like a vulture smelling fresh meat.
Today
sales people need to employ persuasive techniques that
are much more subtle. You need to establish what it
is that the customer needs. And not just their logical,
stated needs, but also their emotional and psychological
ones too. It’s about understanding what they really
want. And not looking like a vulture about to swoop
on its unsuspecting prey.
Fine tuning the machine - motivating change:
Successful strategies for your team. Whenever a winner
is proclaimed, whether it be in business, sports or
warfare, you can be assured that the main reason they
became victorious was because they had a solid strategy.
Call it a battle plan, a game plan, or a strategy, having
a detailed plan of attack/approach is critical if you
want to have a successful business, relationships or
partnership.
