In this lecture, Gavin offers a warm introduction to himself and the course.
Whatever you do in business, Gavin discusses how the ability to sell is always a useful skill to have.
We often view the activity of selling as somehow 'dirty', but this could not be further from the truth. In this lecture, Gavin explores how to take the 'fear' out of selling.
Have you ever walked away from a sale because you felt uncomfortable about the person selling it? In this lecture, Gavin discusses the implications of 'gut feel'.
Here, you'll learn that If you don't have the other party’s interest at heart, you risk short-term, and long-term, failure.
In this short lecture, Gavin shares and exercise to get you thinking about being in your customer's position.
The stereotypical and often recited sales approach of 'Always Be Closing' or 'ABC' is rarely received warmly. There is now a more effective and enjoyable, sales methodology.
Gavin describes that instead of being pushy and dishonest, a much more successful approach is to concentrate on a positive mindset.
Even if sales don't come naturally to you and put you out of your comfort zone, that does not mean that you cannot learn the fundamentals and truly revolutionise your results (and enjoyment) of the process.
Keeping track of your sales experiences can be an excellent tool to help you improve.
An active part of the sales process is to help the buyer to appreciate and then realise their own unmet needs.
Selling is a two-way conversation, aimed at discovering the customer’s unmet needs and showing how your product or service can meet these needs by creating a desire to buy.
Great salespeople are not only alert to their customers’ state of mind. They also create an environment where the customer is able to make a clear and confident decision.
One of the biggest factors in sales success is your own state of mind. While our moods will always fluctuate, what is guaranteed is that beyond our conscious thought lie powers of creativity and innovation
The primary focus as salespeople should be on connecting deeply with the person to whom we are selling and appreciating our own, and our customer’s state of mind.
In order to be a proactive part of a sales experience, you must understand where your customer is in his or her decision-making process, and how you can help them through that process.
This quick exercise will help you come up with ways in which you may be able to support the customer more effectively in the sales process.
The sales process needs to follow a simple path towards the buying process. Here, Gavin sets out on a powerful path towards that goal.
Finally, Gavin wraps up the course with a checklist that looks back on what you've learned so far and how to properly implement it in the future.
Maximising sales and profits is no easy feat, especially if you don’t have a foolproof plan that will engage the customer and close the purchase. In most cases, businesses’ sales methodologies don’t delve deep enough into the psychology of the customer. Only then will they truly understand how to persuade and bargain correctly to keep the consumers on their side.
In this course, you are going to understand exactly how to use psychology in sales, and how to implement these techniques within your current sales methodology. The content will largely focus on the customer’s perspective and state of mind, which we then make the best use of to navigate the way we speak to them.
The beginning of the course will take a look at customer drives, which are influenced by Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of Needs’. This ties in with a case study from Coca-Cola, which you will find very useful going forward when applying these sales psychology techniques.
The course will then shift over to a focus on your own state of mind. Whilst you might think the customer’s psychology is the one and only priority when closing a sale, you might be surprised to know that your inner workings are just as important.
State of mind will be a running theme within the course - as you soon come to learn that the psychology of sales is a two-way process, you can align both your psyches to get the most out of the conversation.
The course will conclude with a six-step process that you can apply to your main sales strategy. Using preparation, connection, probing, matching, agreeing and finally closing, you will have a robust plan that will see you put together all the sales psychology techniques you have learnt earlier in the course.
Once you have run over a final content checklist, you will then have mastered the art of sales psychology. Using this newfound confidence, you will be able to navigate any sales dialogue to get exactly what you want. Not only that, but you will be able to teach others, making this sales psychology course perfect for business leaders who want their team to follow in the same footsteps. Enrol now!
