The ABCs of Sales



If you're new to the selling field, you might wonder how some people find closing a deal easier compared to another. The top sellers in this field always focus on the ABCs- Always Be Closing. Yes, to new sellers this might be a scary thought, but in order to make sales; you have to be willing to take the initiative and close! The following tips are few guides to help you in your closing process!

Create a Sense Of Urgency: When I say, “create a sense of urgency,” I don’t mean push the prospect into buying. This could lead to no sale at all, if you upset the prospect by pressuring them to buy.  A good way to up the urgency is to give them a reason why they shouldn’t procrastinate. If you know they like your product or service and are willing to pay, don’t let them wait any longer. Be ready to give reason why they should buy today!

Be Assertive: Remember, you can’t just wait for a customer to say “yes” because most won’t be that blunt about their answer. So, instead of waiting, simply ask the prospect if they have anymore questions as you pull out the paperwork and begin filling it out. This also helps in giving the prospect a little nudge in the “yes” direction.

Look For the Signs: It’s important to know how to read your client. When you hear them say, “Wow, I like that” or “I want to know more about this (product/service)” or the big one “How much is this?” you know if you have them locked in.  All of these are important to understand when it comes to closing out the sale, especially if they ask about price. When you hear this question, you know you have a product they are really interested in, and it’s up to you to keep building the value for the product!

Don’t Be Afraid: This can be hard for new sellers, but’s important to never be afraid to close. Yes, your first few times you might feel awkward; but you need to stay positive; and try not to show the client you feel this way. When you have confidence in your product and yourself; closing will become easier, smoother, and second nature.

Remember…Always Be Closing!
