5 Simple Steps On How To Resolve Concerns In Sales
People face trails that they bring up to you that are easy for you to take personal. You shouldn’t, you need to press on and be persistent with sales. It is just their way of expressing their lack of understanding or trust. Many people, including me and you, have weaknesses and fear when it comes to getting help or being explained a new concept. We live in a society where we have become accustomed to disagreeing with others or at least questioning them. It is safe to not make changes.
The first step always is to never take rebuttals personal. If people have issues then it is between themselves and the issue. It is really never you. Of course it is good for any person to look for ways to improve in their life, be willing to listen, but don’t get offended and attack back. It will never make it better…repeat…it will NEVER make it better. You just need to find the right people at the right time, also called your target market.
Here are some steps toward success in easily overcoming any objection and when you are done, record and go over these business building steps:
1. Listen-
Fully listen to the person with the complaint or concern. They may have valid concerns that you need to deal with. If anything they are able to express themselves. The last thing you want to do is interrupt them. Let them speak their mind and pause for several seconds after they are done (even if it is uncomfortable) and then you will have a better chance of getting everything out. Sometimes their concern is deeper than the surface issue they initially bring up.
2. Ask To Clarify-
One of the worst things you can do is assume that you know what their concern is. Be willing to state ignorance and claim that in order for you to help them out, which is what you want to, you need to understand them. This can pull out the real issue or help you see if there really is an issue at all. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to and they want to hear their own voice. This will solve the issue half of the time.
3. Understand-
When you fully understand their concern, be willing to restate it so you understand and then it also gives them validation with their point. Even if it is pointless to you, you still give them a sense of purpose. What is not important to one person, could be important to the next person.
4. Question With Question-
If you want to help them solve their concerns, let them do it themselves. The answer is often there, they just need to study it out in their mind. Be willing to offer their questions and concerns with questions of your own. The best results always happen when they can work to resolve it in their own mind. It is questionable if it comes from you, but it is fact when it comes from their own mouth.
The best salesmen ask the right questions that leads the customer to find out the answer on their own. It is funny, but it will show that you are more concerned that way. They will respect you more and come back from the conversation impressed with you and appreciative of your efforts to help them.
Let’s take a look at an example:
Customer: Do I have to become a great salesman?
Salesman: Well do you feel that you are or is that an area you want to improve in?
Customer: I don’t know. I don’t feel that I am that great at sales at all.
Salesman: Do you have any experience?
Customer: Not much…no.
Salesman: Is that something you would be looking for help for?
Customer: Well if I am going to do this then I am going to need help. Yes.
Salesman: We can absolutely help you with that. We can also look at other ways to get your business going without you having to be put in an uncomfortable position. We are going to make sure you understand how to best handle your situation and create the success you are looking for. Then we can help you take that cruise with your family.
This might not be the best example, but I wanted to point out some important things. The person’s issue wasn’t sales, but really not knowing what to do and how to do it. You helped them realized that they needed help and you are there to make sure they feel never out of place.
5. Bring Them Back To Their Goals-
Whenever you are able to overcome any objection, always bring them back to their goals and what value you offer them. This is why you are talking together and really what they need. It is the end that is important and you are providing the means to do it. Always follow up with questions and get them back on track to what you are persuading them to do.
Use these steps not to try to get you out of a bind, but instead use it to qualify your prospects. This is about building a mutual relationship where both parties benefit. Look to help them first before helping yourself and they will realize your sincerity.
