The Key to Success4:19
Why Do People Buy?8:01
It is important for a salesperson to understand why a potential client buys. Selling is about matching needs, wants and desires. It is about understanding pain points to move away from and pleasure points to move towards. It is about meeting the client where they are, and then making it easy for them to move to where they want to be.

In this video, we look at some of the key elements in why people buy. We mention Transactional Selling, which usually involves a customer knowing what they want and the only variables are things like price and lead times. Customer service may feature, but usually in a small way. This kind of selling can be functional and may not lead to repeat business if there is competition. In this case the salesperson may simply want to get the sale in. Typically this happens in situations such as a monopoly, where customer service might not be seen as so important to the seller or in trading commodities. In this video we also look at the benefits of Relational Selling, because when you sell relationally, that is to say you build relationships, you are also creating stronger possibilities for future repeat customer sales.
The Client's Perspective7:05
In this video we explore how you can find ways of understanding the client's perspective and where they are in the buying cycle; are they a cold lead, are they warm and already moving towards buying or are they hot and ready to purchase?
A great salesperson knows how to put themselves in the client's shoes by asking questions and paying attention to the responses, both verbally and non-verbally. Seeing things as the potential client does is crucial to consistent sales performance.
Sales Ethics2:26
Making sure that you sell ethically is very important in sales. We have probably all heard of the metaphor of sales people being like sharks, or hunting and being predatory. Do not sell your reputation for money as you will soon find that you have no audience. In this video we look at some key points around the ethics that surrounds sales, such as not selling things to people who do not want our need your product.
Section 1 Quiz

Building Awareness4:25
This video explores one of the most important factors in selling, that is the salesperson's ability to 'course-correct' based on the feedback they receive. Selling is a listening game. Being able to 'calibrate', or notice changes in your potential client's response or state, is essential to sell successfully.

Developing a 'super-sense' to know what is happening with your potential client is essential to navigate the sales process.
Building Connection9:39
This video mainly focuses on connection, or as it is often known, rapport. Rapport is a key word in sales and all effective communication. The Cambridge dictionary defines rapport as "a good understanding of someone and an ability to communicate well with them". Rapport brings stronger trust and connection and this video looks at how we create more of it.
Influencing Language7:17
This video explores how listening for key clues in someones language can give you the clues to select the language most likely to influence you potential client.
Section 2 Quiz

The 5-Step Sales Process3:39
There are many models or process in sales. This video looks at a 5-Step Sales Process built around listening and linking the needs/desires of your client to the benefits of your product/service.
The 8-step Sales Process4:40
In the previous lecture, we explored the 5-Step Sales Process. In this lecture we explore an 8-Step Sales Process.
How to handle objections2:41
Objections are 'signposts to a sale'. If the reason a potential customer will not commit is because of an objection, and then you can overcome that objection, you are logically closer to making the sale. By raising an objection, a potential customer is giving you an area to focus on to close that sale. This is what is meant by the phrase, 'objections are sign-posts to a sale'.
For the above reasons, salespeople should embrace objections and not do what many do, fear them. Embracing objections and dealing with them, is often one of the fastest ways of closing and consolidating a sale. In this lecture we delve deeper into how to handle objections and why, when you hear an objection from a prospective customer, it can actually be your best friend.

Description

Having great sales skills is important to all of us. I have spent many years in sales environments watching people who get average results and others who just seem to have 'it'. The latter group make more sales and get more repeat business. Why is that? What is it that they are doing that the first group are not?

In the answer to the above question is the secret of genuine sales success. If your customers have no choice where to buy and you are the only person supplying what they want, with a little bit of advertising, they will come to you; but if you have competitors, how do you make sure that people buy from you and not someone else?

The Top 10 keys to getting successful sales is:

Building strong relationships by resonating with what is important to the customer
Asking the right questions
Listening (really listening) to what the customer wants and doesn't want
Understanding the decision-making process of others
Ethically influencing the decision-making process of others
Building customer loyalty through 'relational' selling
Acting as a consultant first, sales person second
Understanding the pain-pleasure principle
Adding value and taking massive action
