Generating sales is the most important skill to master in business because it is the key task that results in a transfer of money from buyer to seller. Any for-profit business should focus on doing the activities that produce sales. Sales is not a method of forcing a prospect to make a choice he does not want to make; instead, it is the art of guiding the customer through a scientific thought process that allows the prospect to convince himself of the need to obtain the value in the goods or services provided.
The first step in generating sales is to attract qualified prospects to the person who should be in a position of leadership-the seller. If people have learned about the seller as an expert, then they will come to the seller ready to buy. The idea behind the law of attraction is that customers seek the seller and not vice versa. Positioning is everything. The buyer should make the decision to call the seller, walk into a store, or in some manner contact the seller. This happens through marketing, such as using a website, business cards, signs, or even word of mouth.
Once the customer has contacted the seller, it is important to continue to establish trust and gain confidence from the buyer that the seller is a high quality source of information. No one enjoys being pitched a product, opportunity, or service because it makes the buyer feel unimportant. People like to feel in control, so converse with the buyer on a personal level; offer an honest compliment, discuss a topic that the buyer enjoys, and connect with the customer. Discover what the buyer wants to accomplish. The buyer should come to like the seller and want to receive some specialized knowledge and value.
Now that the prospect feels in control, it is best to appeal to their emotional needs. Find an area of pain in their life and bring it awareness so that it is on the tip of their mind, then offer a way to stop the pain. Remember that people respond more to what they are going to lose than what they are going to gain and focus on that. Fear is one of the best motivators. Customers are also motivated by the ease of accomplishment, as well as feelings of prestige such as fame and money, so cater to those desires. Additionally, people respond well to an incentive for taking action; it makes them feel that they made the smartest choice. Make sure the buyer can answer what is in it for himself. Focus the sale on the customer's emotion for the greatest conversion.
Always be conscious that business, and thus sales, is all about connecting with people. Make appreciative comments, ask good questions, and the opportunity for the sale will present itself.
