What is Your Sales Strategy?
I don’t know many people that like salespeople. I get it...we can be annoying.
As a consumer, I want to research the product myself, and if I have any questions, THEN I will ask.
The salesperson in me wants to answer your questions before you ask them, make sure you are buying what you want, and don’t allow you to leave the room or hang up the phone without closing the deal.
So, where is the happy medium?
Foxie understands sales, and we have developed four strategies that apply to just about every type of sale you will encounter.
- Consultative selling – This approach requires the salesperson to be more of an advisor or consultant rather than just a salesperson. Salespeople will work with potential customers to understand their needs and goals and offer customized recommendations.
- Inbound selling – Attract, don’t chase! The potential client has already shown interest by engaging with you in an email campaign, signing up for a newsletter, or commenting on your social media pages or website.
Great for B2B...a very cost-effective way to sell.
- Relationship selling – A recent study has shown that 86% of customers with an emotional connection to the salesperson and brand, are likely to become repeat customers. This approach emphasizes the importance of building trust and a great rapport with the customer.
Examples: Real estate and automobile sales.
- SPIN selling – (Situation, Problem, Implication and Need-payoff). It requires the salesperson to ask pertinent questions and address the prospective customers' situation, pain points, and needs.
Good for emotional sales, like life insurance.
The best salespeople realize the importance of building trust and addressing customers’ needs. Delivering on your promises and going above and beyond to ensure the customers' total satisfaction with what you just sold them, are the keys to selling and keeping a customer for life.
