KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Modern sales tactics can be categorised into three main areas. Busy - where salespeople are active but ineffective. Oldy worldy - where salespeople are deploying outdated techniques and tactics and muddled mindset - where the salesperson isn’t able to solve the client’s needs and is confused as to their role within the business.
- There’s a stigma attached to selling that can be overcome with a partnership mindset. Salespeople need to position themselves more as a collaborative selling, working together with a client to solve their problems and achieve their goals.
- There are six elements involved in selling. Trust between the salesperson and the client. a win-win orientation, agreeing on a mutual benefit, becoming interdependent with one another, displaying transparency, giving honest feedback to the client, being comfortable with change and always having a future focus.
- Sales people must become more customer-centric focus in on the problem the client is having and then find the product or service that will deliver that outcome. Sales people need to adopt a partnerships mindset by working together with clients.
