Secrets of closing the sale!

Chapter 14: BUILDING MENTAL STRENGTH IN SELLING

DO YOU CHOOSE WAY TO BACK OR FORWARD?

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. — Leo Tolstoy

As a fan of combat sports,

I even competed for a few years in my youth.

And I’ve found that if you disagree with anyone,

it’s best to say your disagreement directly.

I enjoyed the story of Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney.

When Gene Tunney reunited

with Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight title fight,

he took a step back.

Maybe his coach had told him to,

but more than anyone else he knew

he wouldn’t be able to beat Dempsey

and might get injured.

Before meeting Jack Dempsey,

Gene Tunney prepared very carefully

because he knew

that he would be beaten

and hurt in this “reunion”.

Tunny worked diligently on backs

to prepare for the rematch.

From my own little competition experience,

I have found that when hit,

a boxer has a natural reflex

to immediately respond to the opponent.

However, that’s when he has the least chance of hitting an opponent

and is the easiest to take down.

Tunney knew this well,

so he learned to step back

to avoid the opponent’s attack

and wait for the right moment.

If you watched that match,

You probably still remember

that in the second round,

Dempsey punched Tunney to the floor

to hysterical cheers from the audience.

After the match, Tunney shared:

“At that time,

I felt my mind was strangely clear.

I could have stood up and countered,

but I remembered my practice

so I decided to lie down

until the referee counted to 9.

And, in the next round,

he defeated Dempsey

and won the championship that year.

Your most valuable asset can be your willingness

to persist longer than anyone else. — Brian Tracy

WHEN YOU’RE RENOVED A CUSTOMER

Time is precious.

Make sure you spend it with the right people. — Aysa angel

Whether customers come to you

or you are the one looking for them,

no one can rule out the possibility

that you will receive a flat rejection

or harsh criticisms from customers.

In such situations,

it will be very helpful to mentally prepare yourself in a positive way.

Mental strength built on the right foundation of knowledge

and attitude will make a big difference

in every deal you’ll make.

This distinction becomes ever more important

when you’re trying to close a deal

or when you’re on the “thin line”

that requires the slightest change in your attitude

and perception.

You also decide the success

or failure of the deal

In general, all else being equal,

customers will buy

from the seller with whom they have the most sympathy.

However, according

to analysis by John M. Wilson in his book

Open the Mind and Close the Sale,

this balance will be broken

if a salesperson has more knowledge

and pride in the product he is offering compared to his opponent.

You can build your own mental strength

by reading good books,

attending professional sales training

or company gatherings.

All these activities will instill in your mind a positive,

clear,

optimistic and healthy way of thinking.

What goes on in your mind will significantly affect your mental attitude.

You need to cultivate positive thoughts

if you want to reap the right attitude

and succeed at work.

If you are caught in thoughts that are confusing,

there is no way out,

your work will also take shape in that direction.

Kipling said that you will probably encounter

both success and failure along the way,

but if you are still confusing success with failure,

for you,

the two are just one.

You are where you are

and what you are because of yourself,

nothing else.

Nature is neutral.

Nature doesn’t care.

If you do what other successful people do,

you will enjoy the same results

and rewards that they do.

And if you don’t,

you won’t. — Brian Tracy

CD PLAYER/CASSETTE

Until you value yourself,

you wont value your time.

Until you value your time,

you will not do anything with it. — M. Scott Peck

In Chapter 5, I demonstrated the value of recording

your presentation on a cassette/CD

to practice voice intonation to increase the power of words

and the appeal of your presentation

in front of customers about your products and services.

Now, I would like to share

with you the great value

and benefits of a cassette player/CD player

that I have received in my sales life.

If you’re in the sales world

without a CD player,

you’re not really into the business.

Based on thousands of letters

and personal discussions,

I strongly believe that using a cassette player

or CD player can take sales performance

to the next level

and thousands of dollars in revenue your annual entry.

With a player at home

or in your car,

you can listen to training,

educational and inspirational tapes

and CDs anywhere,

anytime:

as you start your day

or prepare for the next day going to bed,

or while you do the kitchen,

do the laundry,

put on your makeup,

change your clothes and,

ideally,

your mind isn’t preoccupied with anything.

Of course, you can also listen

to positive music

or interactive radio shows,

but avoid listening to songs

or news reports,

comments

that can make you feel bored

and lose motivation.

I think you should read The Behavior of Dr. John Diamond

to learn what kind of music is good

or bad for you and why.

Over the years,

thousands of salespeople have told me

that this tactic is the most important process

they follow to stay inspired,

confident,

optimistic,

and in a sales-ready state of mind.

According to research by the University of Southern California,

if you live in the downtown area

and have to drive 20,000 km a year for three consecutive years,

the time you listen

to tapes/discs in your car helps you acquire

as much knowledge as two years of full-time training at university.

Setting goals is the first step in turning

the invisible into the visible. — Tony Robbins

*********

WITH EXCELLENT PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STRENGTH, YOU WILL BE A WINNER!

Success is something you attract

by the person you become. — Jim Rohn

The American Football League (NFL) conducted a study

on the scoring ability of players

and found that in the last two minutes of the first half

and in the last two minutes of the game,

there were many goals won is scored more

than any other twenty minutes in the match.

Why? There are three reasons in all.

First of all, in most cases,

teams find they need

to actively score goals to stay out of the game,

to win or to secure a lead fragile procession.

Next, they practiced to be able

to put in more effort into the final two minutes

than at any other point in the game,

so we totally understand

why they mustered all their physical,

mental and emotional strength to contact

to fight in these last moments.

In the end, their goals were clearly defined.

Because they are well prepared,

they know what they have to do

and they have the confidence to hit their goals.

There are the same principles

and tactics that you can apply in your sales.

When you focus on training,

accumulating strength for yourself,

always thinking positively,

creating the right spiritual values,

maintaining good health,

you will certainly have clear steps on the way.

Build a sales career.

Treating success as an option is one of the major reasons

why more people don’t create it for themselves.— Grant Cardone

“QUALITY CERTIFICATE”

We all make time for what we feel is important in our lives. — Aysa Angel

When I first attended a meeting between sales representatives,

I was impressed by the presentation of Ralph Beaver,

a “convincing expert” adept in the field of sales.

At the end of his talk,

Ralph held out a small scroll about 10cm wide.

He opened the scroll and held it up

so we could all see the typed information on it.

Ralph says:

“Ladies and gentlemen,

despite the grand presentation of the product

(he is a man who is never overly modest)

and a range of different closings,

some customers still refuse.

Purchase.

In that case,

I would open this “buu ba” and say:

Ladies and gentlemen,

it seems

that you still have some hesitation about owning

such a beautiful set of pots and pans.

On this piece of paper is a list of my clients in this area

who have purchased

at least one beautiful set of pots and pans

that you are seeing here.

(You know, Ralph recorded the name

and address of every customer he sold

to during his twenty years of sales.)

Why don’t you take a look

and see if you know any of them?

Do you think these people made the mistake of buying a set of pots

and pans that could save them time,

money and ensure the nutritional value of their food?”

Someone in the audience below said aloud:

“Maybe they made the right decision.”

Ralph continued:

“As you can see,

there are still three lines left at the end of this list.

I’m happy to be able to add your names

and addresses in those formal positions to show that you,

too, have what you really want.”

Another voice below said:

“Maybe I will!”

Talking about the most impressive

“certificates of quality”,

I cannot help

but mention the Distributor Bernie Lofchick in Winnipeg, Canada.

Bernie is one of Maytag’s distribution centers

and is recognized as the top selling branch

for potential markets

in Maytag’s worldwide network of

more than 50 countries. Surprisingly,

not only does Bernie always achieve high sales,

but they are also a model for other Maytag distributors to follow.

Bernie Lofchick is located right next

to a washing machine business

that always offers very strong discount strategies for his products

(sometimes as low as half the price of Maytag products).

And Bernie always considers that center

as a very valuable source of capital for his business.

Bernie and Maytag’s business policy is based on quality,

product durability,

variety of product features

and accompanying services.

Just recently,

also using the “certificate of quality” tactic,

Bernie succeeded in asking a customer

to exchange an old machine for a new one,

also a new Maytag product,

even though the lady seemed very happy.

“attached”

when having to give up her old machine “40 years still works fine”.

The only reason she agreed to change the machine was

because her arthritis prevented her

from operating it manually.

One of the most effective closing methods

that Bernie’s salespeople often use is to call customers

who have purchased Maytag products

in the previous 5, 10,

or even 25 years.

Once these customers give a “quality certificate” about the service,

features and durability of the product,

then the price issue for potential customers is no longer important

and of course Maytag will have add a new customer.

All successful sales professionals often receive “quality certification” letters voluntarily

submitted by customers.

These “certifications” will encourage salespeople

to be productive

because these customers often appreciate

a salesperson’s best efforts.

They express their satisfaction with the quality of the product,

the company’s problem solving

Any letter like that is a “bright spot”

for your collection of “certificates”.

(A lot of salespeople receive letters of praise like this,

but they don’t realize it’s a much more useful

and effective sales tool than product chatter,

because, of a “third party” always

is more reliable than any salesman’s most sincere words.)

Successful people ask better questions,

and as a result,

they get better answers. — Tony Robbins

*********

HOW TO GET “QUALITY CERTIFICATE” FROM CUSTOMERS?

The trouble is, you think you have time. — Buddha

Obtaining quality certification from customers is not too difficult.

For example, let’s say you went to a fancy restaurant

that just opened in town last night.

You find the food there delicious,

the atmosphere romantic,

the service attentive

and they give you the bill not too late

but not too quickly either.

When you leave that restaurant,

you express your satisfaction to the manager,

boss,

or wait staff.

He thanks you and asks you

to record your comment.

Would you agree to write a letter at his request?

I am 90% sure that you will agree

to do it and the chance

that you will actually write them is 50%.

You will be willing to do this

and will also feel “joyed”

because your opinions

and judgments are fully appreciated.

The offer to write the certification hit your enthusiasm.

If you’ve been in sales for many years,

recall the customers

who told you directly that they appreciated your product,

service,

or idea… or anything else you had to offer.

They call or visit them

and I believe you know

how to “talk” to get their “written endorsement”.

Once you have those “certificates,”

quickly copy them and place them in your presentation kit.

Bring all of these “certificates of quality”

with you to all of your presentations.

Action is the real measure of intelligence. — Napoleon Hill

****************

HOW TO USE QUALITY CERTIFICATES

Life isn’t a matter of milestones,

but of moments. — Rose Kennedy

To use customer testimonials effectively,

you must choose exactly which letter you need

because in most cases you will only use one

or two letters for a lot of presentations.

Sometimes,

they are also used to reach customers

to convince or answer their questions.

For example,

when a customer tells you,

“I want to know more about this service,”

you should respond,

“Sir, I appreciate your interest in us.

Mr. Jones Johns at XYZ company initially had the same feelings,

but after using our service,

he said the following:

(This is when you give the customer a letter with content related

to the information that the customer is wanting to know.)

You should continue your presentations

after he has finished reading them.

For example, a customer asks:

“Can we get a tax reduction like you just mentioned?”

(You should give him the follow-up letter

to answer this question.)

However, no single letter can answer all questions or concerns,

but collecting letters will help you find all the answers.

From time to time,

you should replace old letters

with new letters from trusted customers.

Put them in order

– by field or location,

alphabetically

or by question/question type…

I believe that a certificate of quality always proves its effectiveness

in almost any presentation

or product launch.

It is also a way to approach customers

and create trust when things are going well

or not going “as expected” during the meeting.

To conclude this section,

I would like to summarize the matter as follows:

although I believe that all the information given

to you up to this point is valuable,

you will have to present the client with

The knowledge you are provided with through

the latest product feature analysis given

to you by the marketing director.

However, you’d better convince them.

Sell ​​with all your heart.

H – Honesty: Honesty is the crux of your sales career.

E – Ego: Show your good ego or empathy.

A – Attitude: Your attitude toward yourself,

your customers, and your profession.

R – Revalue: Your physical,

mental and rational strength.

T – Tough: Strength and the strongest thing is love.

If you put the first letters of these 5 words together,

they will form a heart:

Knowledge is not power.

Knowledge is only potential power.

Action is power. — Tony Robbins

PART 3: BECOME A PROFESSIONAL SELLER

TARGET

Keep your goals in front of you,

and your fears behind you. — Tony Robbins

I. Learn to adapt,

not react to difficulties.

II. Know the difference

between a professional salesperson

and a novice salesperson,

an excellent salesperson and an average salesperson.

III. Meet a few sales experts to learn.

IV. Clearly define that anyone,

whether dentist,

contractor,

waitress,

designer

or teacher… are all sales people.

Chapter 15: USE THE TRICKS

PROFESSIONALLY

To change bad habits,

we must study the habits of successful role models. — Jack Canfield

Are you adapting or reacting?

I hope your answer is adaptive,

because respond has a positive connotation,

and react has a negative connotation.

For example, when you are sick

and have to see a doctor.

The doctor examines you,

prescribes medicine,

and makes an appointment

for a follow-up appointment the next day.

On time, you come

and the doctor examines you

and shakes his head and says,

“I have to change the medicine

because your body has a reaction to the medicine”.

Neither the doctor nor you can be happy

with such negative results, right?

In the event that the doctor happily informs you:

“It seems that the medicine is working.

Your body is adapting to this treatment.”

Obviously everyone will be pleased with the positive results.

Not only in the field of sales,

but in any other profession,

we will sometimes encounter situations

that are not very optimistic.

I can confirm that 99% of salespeople,

with a few exceptions

when standing behind the counter in retail stores have

had to “persevere” in customer meetings,

especially for direct sales, life insurance,

real estate and automobile sales.

And I believe most of these people have

at least once reacted with anger,

frustration,

disappointment,

or a combination of all of these negative emotions.

In 1964, Judge Ziglar,

my late brother,

broke a national sales record

when he made a sale of 104,000 dollars worth of Salad master pots

and pans (today, that amount equivalent to $800,000).

His secret is to always adapt very well to failed dates.

During the product launch ceremony,

Judge invited the couples to attend

and did not forget to make an appointment

to meet them at their home the following day.

There were times

when he came to see him as scheduled,

but they were not at home.

Instead of reacting to the situation with anger

or frustration,

Judge learned to adapt by telling himself,

“Oh, I’m sure I’ll make this deal!

Don’t kid yourself.

Be honest with yourself.

Take your own inventory. — Jack Canfield

**********

STRATEGY “LABEL”

Until we can manage time,

we can manage nothing else. – Peter Drucker

The next day,

Judge again arrived at the same time as the previous day.

When the landlord opened the door,

Judge immediately began by apologizing:

“I sincerely apologize

for missing the meeting with you yesterday.

I tried as hard as I could,

but in the end I couldn’t.”

You will be surprised to learn

that most customers have no objection

to you taking responsibility for their rudeness.

When Judge apologized,

he knew he was going to get the deal.

The reason is if the client doesn’t have the courage to face him

and say

They won’t make a purchase on the previous date,

which means they’re not mentally prepared

to deal with an enthusiastic,

dedicated,

and professionally trained salesperson like Judge.

Judge’s ability to adapt to customer attitudes

should surprise us with his sales record.

What motivated Judge to work like that?

That’s because from the bottom of his heart,

he believes that the family desperately needs,

even must have his set of pots and pans.

Judge also knows the pots

and pans will save them money,

time and,

above all,

ensure the nutritional value of food for their children.

He is really a person

who is very passionate about his work.

Judge also understands human nature

and the real reason they kept him waiting yesterday.

Basically, the other couple also wants

to buy a set of pots and pans,

but they don’t think they have enough money and fear

that they won’t have the courage to say no

to what they’ve always wanted.

Their solution is to let the salesman wait at the door.

In times like these,

salespeople need

to empathize with their customers more than ever.

People are rewarded in public for

what they practice for years in private. — Tony Robbins

******************

COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES WITH “RETURN CHILDREN”

When you truly are on purpose,

the people,

resources,

and opportunities you need naturally gravitate toward you. — Jack Canfield

However, that’s still not all.

Most direct sellers are demoralized

and react with dismay

when a homeowner’s baby disrupts the product demonstration.

They climb on briefcases

or sample boxes,

messing with papers and samples.

From time to time,

their parents say quietly,

in a rather reluctant tone:

“Hey, don’t play with my papers like that!”.

From time to time,

the husband turns to his wife and says,

“Hey, you’re so naughty!

What should I do?”.

Usually the wife will get up,

pull the child out and tell him to sit still.

But just three minutes later,

the boy was again playing

with his briefcase and prototype.

Now her parents seem helpless.

They pulled the boy’s ears,

held his hand,

yelled at him

and asked him to behave.

By this point,

Judge Ziglar knew he was on the hook for the deal

because if they couldn’t say “no”

to a three-year-old,

how could they say no to a hot salesman?

love, professionally trained as Judge.

He noticed that the boy’s parents didn’t love him enough

that they saw the need to punish him.

Judge also loves children,

especially children

who are not given proper

and proper care.

Therefore, Judge emphasized

with the child’s parents said:

“Perhaps the boy never knew

what a loving punishment was,

for his future.

And, I believe he needs to be given the best opportunities,

nutritiously cooked meals

to bring about good health.”

We’re talking about attitudes in sales,

but this attitude is directly related

to understandings of personality and a few other things.

If you really care,

you’ll find that’s exactly what a trained,

dedicated sales professional uses most often.

And he will certainly act on his thoughts and attitudes

to adapt instead of reacting to the actual situation he is facing.

You are the master of your destiny.

You can influence,

direct and control your own environment.

You can make your life

what you want it to be. — Napoleon Hill
