Coaching Tip - Top 4 Ways Pressure Salespeople Gain Their Reputation

Coaching Tip - Top 4 Ways Pressure Salespeople Gain Their Reputation

Name: Email:

People regularly tell me what causes them sales reluctance. Many salespeople with sales reluctance feel like they will be pegged as their preconceived negative salesperson stereotype.

Why do we have negative salespeople stereotypes? Because unbelievably there are still salespeople who don’t understand that selling isn’t about them; selling is about the customer. How do you have to act to be a pressure salesperson?

Be insincere. Being natural and honest about how your product or service can help a prospect comes from your confidence, knowledge and heart. It may seem like being sincere is something you can learn but just how do you teach something that comes from the heart? Sincerity is both about thinking and feeling the right way.

Be pushy. If you have ever watched the television show, The Office, you know pushy can be the branch manager Michael and one of the salesmen, Dwight. They get disagreeably assertive with customers, even customers who have made it clear they are not interested. Be persistent in follow-up with your prospect in ways that communicate you are listening and care about helping them.

Don’t listen. Most of us hear our prospects but few of us listen. In writing and training about listening for years, I often cite Dr. Ralph Nichols research reporting on 200 listeners – it’s a 10 part skill. What it takes most is an “other” focus and for some reason, salespeople find it difficult to be other focused.

Convince clients. Con – vince. The word’s meaning itself is pressure: to prove by overcoming. What’s there to convince a prospect about? If you build trust, then convincing ends being part of the sales equation. How do you build trust? By being reliable, open, congruent and accepting.

You can build a negative reputation as a pressure salesperson and you will certainly find some short term success. Or you can build a positive reputation by focusing on just the opposite, the more positive traits, and find greater and long lasting success.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
