Overcome Overcoming Objections: Selling is Not Telling




Understanding Cliches


When I started selling in 1980, I remember being told "Selling is not telling." It sounded reasonable, but I didn't figure out what it really meant and how to do it for a long time.

In a recent coaching session with a client, this point came up. Here are two ways to sell without telling.
  1. Paint word pictures about their situation and desired solutions, and
  2. Ask leading questions and get your prospects to tell you what you wanted to tell them!

A combination of the two is most powerful.

Remember: stay focused on their needs and avoid talking about your product or service. Focus on their needs and then simply show them you are the solution. The audio gives you a perfect example of how to talk about your customer being their customer without talking about your customer!

Though this was a very short (4-1/2 minutes) clip, I this helps you eliminate objections and obstacles. If you need more help achieving your sales goals, call or email me.
