Typically, salespeople learn to sell in only two ways:

1. Learning from mistakes while gaining needed experience along the way.

2. Copying and adapting techniques that have successfully worked for others.

 

Therein lies the challenge. If you are the type who is naturally aggressive and outgoing, you probably feel comfortable applying the first method. However, if you are otherwise, then you will most likely not feel comfortable learning via trial and error.

 

Copying from others, adapting their successful techniques, and making it as part of their sales approach may also not necessarily work for just any salesperson. As a matter of fact, it may even jeopardize their prospective opportunities and what they are trying to achieve.

 

Despite these ironies, we hold firm to the principle that everyone can learn to sell. The key lies in understanding one’s inherent identity and the natural strengths that will enable them to learn best. This consequently, empowers and enables you to master your sales approach, adapting to changing situations, and winning customers by creating influential choices.

 

The basic principle of knowing yourself is that every Salesperson is responsible and in control of their mindset and actions, and able to generate their own ability to adapt to the situations they encounter.

What is the one thing that can make all the difference in selling? You have an excellent product, a responsive territory and a great marketing campaign, but, without this key ingredient, you are unlikely to make the sale. The missing ingredient is passion.

 

It is often passion that compels a salesperson to communicate, with total conviction and belief, the specific attributes of their product. It is passion that allows a salesperson to really care and listen to the concerns of their customers. It is passion that allows any challenge or hurdle, to be overcome.

 

This old adage is certainly true of selling – “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”.

 

Think about it – when a customer notices someone looking and sounding excited when discussing a product, the unconscious mind is saying, “There must be something in this. Why would someone be so passionate about something that wasn’t good?” The unconscious mind is a powerful force and will often make a decision long before the conscious mind has taken in all the logical information to support such a decision.

 

Selling is all about passion, believing 150% in what you’re offering, and demonstrating that in every way and at every occasion. When you fail to whole-heartedly believe in what you’re selling, there’s no way you’ll be successful long-term. Add to the mix the uncertainty of the economy and it becomes essential for people to be passionate.

 

You will learn how to bring creativity, enthusiasm and passion to the job of selling. Selling with Passion & Power will motivate your sales people – and more importantly, it will give you or your salespeople a solid foundation to succeed.
