Sales Strategy You Can Use To Close Sales

Have you ever wondered why some salespeople are so good at closing sales?

They always seem to have an answer for everything and always find a way to get the deal. And they always walk away with a smile, like they just won the lottery.

The good news is that there are sales strategies you can use to close sales, just like the pros. And once you learn these techniques, you will be able to close sales quickly and walk away with a smile, too.

Here are ten sales strategies you can use to close more sales:

* Build rapport

Building rapport is one of the most important things you can do when selling to someone. It is essential to build trust and likability so that the prospect feels comfortable doing business with you. One way to build rapport is to find common ground. If you can find something that you have in common with the prospect, it will go a long way in building rapport.

Another way to build rapport is to mirror the prospect's body language. If the prospect is leaning forward, you should lean forward, too. If the prospect is crossing his arms, you should cross your arms, too.

* Use questions to guide the conversation

Asking questions is an excellent way for the prospect to open up and share his thoughts. Asking the right questions will also help you guide the conversation in your desired direction.

Some good questions to ask include:

What are your thoughts on _____?

How do you feel about _____?

What is your biggest concern with _____?

If you can get the prospect to open up and tell you what he is thinking, closing the sale will be much easier.

* Use storytelling

Storytelling is a powerful way to connect with the prospect on an emotional level. When you tell a story, the prospect can visualize what you are saying, and it will be more memorable than if you just made a factual statement.

A good story will also help the prospect see you as a likable, relatable person. And, when the prospect likes and trusts you, he is more likely to do business with you.

* Use flattery

Flattery is another way to build rapport and get the prospect to like you. But you have to be careful with flattery. If you lay it on too thick, the prospect will see right through it and backfire.

A simple compliment like, "That's a great tie," or "I love your shoes" can go a long way in getting the prospect to warm up to you. So, do not be afraid to give compliments; just keep them genuine.

* Use social proof

Social proof is when you use other people's endorsements to make your case. For example, if you are selling a new product, you might say, "90% of customers who tried this product said they loved it."

When you use social proof, you essentially use other people's experiences to validate your own. And, when the prospect sees that other people have had a positive experience, he is more likely to take your word for it and make the purchase.

* Be confident

Confidence is critical in sales. If you do not believe in what you are selling, the prospect will pick up on it, and he will be less likely to buy from you and take your word for it.

So, it is important to fake it 'til you make it. If you do not feel confident, act as you do. Stand up straight, make eye contact, and speak with certainty. The more confident you appear, the more likely the prospect will be to believe in what you are saying.

* Overcome objections

Objections are going to come up during the sales process. It is inevitable. The key is to be prepared for them and to know how to overcome them.

When you are faced with an objection, the first thing you need to do is restate the objection in your own words. This will let the prospect know that you understand his concern. Next, you need to address the objection head-on. Address the prospect's concerns and offer a solution.

For example, if the objection is that the product is too expensive, you might say, "I understand that you are concerned about the price. But I can tell you that this product is worth every penny. It is made with the highest quality materials, and it comes with a money-back guarantee. I'm confident that you'll be happy with your purchase."

* Close the sale

Once you have overcome the objection, it is time to close the sale. There are a few different ways to close a sale, but one of the most effective is to use the assumptive close.

With the assumptive close, you assume the prospect will buy from you. For example, you might say, "When would you like me to deliver your order?" or "What is your credit card number so I can process your payment?"

The assumptive close puts the decision in the prospect's hands, taking the pressure off of him. He is more likely to say yes if he feels in control. So, do not be afraid to use the assumptive close when closing a sale.

* Follow up

Once the sale is complete, you must follow up with the prospect. Thank him for his business and see how he enjoys the product or service. This follow-up will help build relationships and ensure customer satisfaction.

Following up with prospects who did not buy from you is also a good idea. Just because they said no does not mean they will never buy from you. Send them a personal email or give them a call and see if there is anything you can do to change their mind.

* Keep learning

No matter how much experience you have in sales, there is always room to learn and improve. Read books about sales and attend seminars on the subject. The more you know about sales, the better your chances of success. And you never know what new strategies or tactics you might discover.

These tips will help you close more sales and build better client relationships.

So, use them the next time you try to close a sale because they might just be the difference between success and failure.

And remember, never give up. The more NOs you get, the closer you are to a YES.
