SMA’s Sales Tips

1.  Keeping A Positive Attitude- Approach each sale with enthusiasm, energy, and confidence. It is really easy to pick up on someone’s mood. Before you approach the potential client you need to make sure to clear your mind of any negative thoughts.
2. Low Pressure- Instead of trying to convince someone to do something, assume they want to and agree with moving forward. Try to educate the potential client instead of pushing them to buy.
3. No Manipulation- Lead towards a sale that is mutually beneficial. If you are offering the client a plan that will truly benefit them and take the time to present them with all of the details, then you are helping the client instead of just selling.
4. Use the Assumptive Closing Technique- Begin a sale assuming the potential client is going to buy, and you subtly let your prospect know you are assuming they will become a client throughout the sales process. Why would they not want to become a customer if you are presenting something that will help them? Just keep that in the back of your mind.
5. Ask questions- When you ask questions periodically this will let you know where the client stands and how to move forward with the sales process.
6. Stay Calm- Just remember in sales you will always have your good days and bad. If you are having a bad day today, remember that tomorrow will present new opportunities.
7. Listen- Listen to the client’s needs – it’s amazing what you can learn. The client will also feel more comfortable around you and they will start to listen to what you have to say.
8. Set Goals- Think about what you would like to do or work towards and then tell someone. When we share our goals with other’s there is a higher likely hood of meeting that goal because it creates motivation.
9. Know your products- The more you know about the product the better. It is much easier to answer questions the potential client may have. Also, the more educated you are the more professional you come across which will build trust.
10. Start Now- You will always make excuses and doubt yourself but you just need to take a chance and take that first step.
