Hi. Gabriela DAMJANOVI?.

Sales people are fearless.

Sales people do not fear rejection. They do not mind hearing somebody say "NO" to them.

They do not take it personally.

A sales person knows the rule: "The more "NOs" you hear, the closer you get to a "Yes".

That being said, I personally do not like being seen as a sales person.

Gabriela, keep in mind that nobody wants to be sold. Everybody wants to make their own decisions.

I understand your question as "How to bring people to follow your recommendation?; how to convince them? how to help them make the right decisions?

Those who are truly successful in sales (I wish I was one of them) focus on helping people

(i) identifying their real problems

(ii) offer them the best solutions to those problems

(iii) effortlessly help them see the advantages and the benefits to apply those solutions.

They are not selling, they are helping.

To achieve our goals in the field of sales, we would be well advised to come across as genuinely motivated by our prospects' best interests.

When we continuously give people what they want and it benefits them, we, in return, will also succeed and reach our goals.

If you like to call it "sales", I would not argue with you.

I wish to simply state that for anyone to become a great salesman/saleswoman is to surround yourself with people who you consider to be leaders in the field of sales or on-line marketing.

The more you connect with individuals who are successful in the area of Sales, by default you will learn strategies, habits, and what not to do from them.

SFI offers opportunity for each affiliate to connect with other SFI affiliates through A2A, SFI Forum Posts, or even reading posts through ASK SC and don't forget the posts that we receive from Gery too.

Seek out those that have or are in a state that you want to be in and connect with them.

Someone once said : My dad being a salesman taught me you can sell anybody anything if you've got the ability to believe.

So that would be the number 1 rule in becoming a great "sales(wo)man" is that you believe in your product..
I can understand your question and I do believe a lot of people are going to tell you that you do not need to "sell" SFI but they don't get Tripleclicks then..

If you can become a great salesperson using TC products then you are also generating massive income in SFI

Hope to see you become the best Salesperson you can ever be !!
Best Regards

This is an old aged question that many people from many generations all over the world have been asking. I believe that the HONESTY is what makes a salesman or saleswoman, GREAT.

I can just imagine, Honesty, really? Yes honesty is the best policy.

I have always thrilled when I can honestly sale SFI to my fellow country folk and when they ask what I do, I say to them I am self employed and explain to them honestly about SFI and the TripleClicks businesses. I even show them how I work on SFI and what it entails.

I have taken the time to show how TripleClicks offers and although many of my fellow country folk are very sceptically about the internet and business that are on them, I believe with my continued honesty and showing people how I am doing and showing that buying products on the internet is safe and less stressful than going shop to shop, they can do it in the comfort of their homes or jobs. I have shown them my products that I have bought from the TripleClicks and the cost of the duty clearance.

At the end, people will start to copy you and want what you have. That is the nature of people.

Another great salesman or saleswoman technique is too LISTEN, listen to the clients requests, their requirements and needs. Take the time to listen and than go online find the products the client needs, approach and show them, teach them and hook them on to TripleClicks there and than and you will get them hooked.

Never give up and remember Honesty is best and Listening is great.

You must start selling something first, even if it is as minute (small) as a button!

There are so many examples I can give you but none of them will work for you if you cannot accept that you will and you can sell something. Many people shy away from sales because they say they cannot sell or they are not good at it or they cannot approach just anyone. Others feel a sense of "beyond me", how can I do this?

You must understand that for someone to buy something (anything) from you, they have to like you - this may sound rather awkward but it is very true. The next point is then to develop that likable personality. This starts the process of selling.... Please do not say that this is not practical, it is because I have gone through these processes from a non-seller to a seller of high valued products.

To go back to my point of selling a button, when you ask yourself, why should I buy the button from A and not B. This has simple answers. A has probably provided a lot more information about the button, the features and benefits of the button and the buyer is convinced that the seller is looking out for the best interest of the buyer!

Therefore, some very basics that will help you become a good salesperson is you need to be good at what you are selling. The only way to do that is if:

- know your product better than your competitor
- know how to overcome price objections
- provide more information than what the buyer expects from you
- understand the needs of your buyer
- be honest in your dealings, keep promises and when you are wrong, be ready to apologize

This enhances your confidence, boosts your morale and improves your skills to the level where you can immediately know what product you will sell to the person walking into your store. The best part is that YOU WILL SELL.

Hello Gabriela

1. For convincing somebody that they need what you are selling requires your balance with your desire to sell, being assertive, firm and honest. If they do not trust you they will not be buying your product, therefore put the customer first. Find out what your customer really wants and why they want it. People buy "products" as a means to an end. Understanding your customer's desires and adopting them yourself will make you a great salesman.

2. Allow your customer to ask questions to determine their desires. If a customer says they want a suit, ask "What's the occasion?" Selling a suit to someone going to a marriage is a lot different than selling to someone who is for the funeral of his best friend.

3. If a customer expresses interest in a particular item, ask what it is they like about it. Allow them to choose the product that they feel good about, getting to know your customer and their taste, and uncovering their real motivation for buying.

4. You should know everything about your product and other similar products in the market, so that you can justify to your customer why your recommended product is the right one for them.

5. Do not try to sell a Plasma TV to a person who is living in a dormatory. Balance your desire to make a sale with what product makes sense for the customer. If the customer is having a difficult time making the decision, it's ok to do a little pushing. Trust that you have suggested the best item and ask something like "Would you like me to bring this up to the check out stand for you while you continue your shopping?"

6. After you confirm a sale, make the case for add-ons to up your total sales. If you've just sold a printer, mention some deals you're running on ink cartridges or reams of paper. Frame it as a money and stress-saving measure for them: You'll need these eventually and this way you won't have to worry about it. Celebrate if you do sell a lot, but don't make that your goal. Treat work as work. Fill your free time with other hobbies to avoid dwelling on making sales.

7. The more sales you attempt, the easier it will go. It'll be much easier to get past small failures and little setbacks and will keep you honing your craft. If you're making calls or roving the sales floor, the day will likewise go a lot faster the more time you spend selling. Whatever happens, avoid placing blame anywhere. It's ultimately the customer's decision whether or not to buy something, so don't treat it as a failure on your part if they choose not to. Think of yourself as a counsellor in a transaction. Make your suggestions, be as helpful as possible, and move on when the deal is done, successful or not.


Cheers

Having been successful a sales person off and on for many years earning a living and supplementing my income I have found that the main pre-requisites to good salesmanship are:

1. Know your product.
2. Believe in and trust your product.
3. Presentation.

If you lack either of these, your efforts will result in minimal profits at best. There are other good guidelines to follow but the absence of any one of these produces very little.

Any of the other guidelines depend on numerous factors such as;

a. Appearance-are you meeting people face to face.
b. Advertising-yes, how you advertise can affect your end result.
c. Self confidence in ones ability to present ones product, especially in person.

One can continue to elaborate on the many traits that make a good sales person but the first three above are the backbone of success. All others are trimmings for the overall package.

Aim High!! Dream Big!!

Greetings:
I will deliver my answer from the experience of being
around and knowing sales people.
But, firstly, Sales is the profession that offers: Uncapped
and No Ceiling Income! You control your paycheck. If you WANT
to make $1,000 per month...you can. If you NEED to make $10,000
per month...you can! So...
Some people become great because:

=Sales can simply be a natural talent.
They can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves!

=Are well trained/learned.
Years of experience from active sales and/or seminars, books, etc.

=Sort by self
The sale is about them and their bottom line, money.

=Sort by others:
Have the natural ability to build rapport and trust

=Know the product:
They know, use, and love the product that they sell

=Are people that were previously prosecuted or engaged in deception,
cheating, and stealing habitually or by choice.
Sales is a profession that you can get paid for doing the above.
It's all psychological. You cannot sell without the element of human nature.
From who speaks first, to body language, personal appearance, and your
material possessions; all of these taken into account.
Your last car purchase was an extreme level of a psychological sales experience.
You were analyzed before the first spoken word.
This may hit a nerve, but most of your reformed offenders are in this
profession. The is not a negative. If you can sell, you can get
a job. This is still a display natural talent.
When used correctly with the right platform, most of your top sales
people have parleyed the unscrupulous behavior into a high income sales
opportunity/activity.

My answer...

=People that can handle rejection.
How do you become a great sales person?
Always thank the person that tells you "NO" for motivating you to
continue your quest in seeking the person that will tell you "YES"!
My Tip...
=Don't "Cold Call" it's a presents as a sign of desperation. When was
the last time you purchased from a telemarketer? Your prospect has a
reason/need/want and/or a relationship when they purchase from you.
Thank you for this question.

Becoming a great salesperson is not as easy as some might think. 20% of the salespeople in the world make 80% of the money, while the other 80% share the remaining 20% of the money.

What is the difference?

Most salespeople try to steer their customer towards whatever product they are promoting.

Successful salespeople do it the other way round. They find a product that suits the customer, meeting a need or desire the customer has identified.

Great salespeople always try to over-deliver - to provide something that not only meets, but actually exceeds their customers' expectations.

How do you do that?

First you need to find out what they want or need. You do this by listening to them, and asking probing questions. Only when you know what they want can you decide which product is most appropriate. Then to over-deliver, you need to avoid the temptation to over-sell your product.

Another thing great salespeople do is 'sell the sizzle, not the steak'. More people will buy a steak if they see it being cooked to perfection than if they just see a slab of meat on a plate. But a word of caution here; even though you are selling the sizzle, make sure you deliver the steak! Happy customers may become repeat customers. Unhappy customers will not. And the first sale to a customer is the hardest one to make.

Hope this helps.

Dear Gabriela,

By definition, a salesman or saleswoman is a man or woman who sells products or services whether offline or online. To make it shorter, I will designate the word “saleswoman” or “salesman” as “ salesperson”.

Well, I am not a great salesperson nor a great marketer myself but I try to answer your question based on my readings, a little experience in marketing and also my encounter and deals with some salespersons.

There are some traits of the great salespersons whom I admire and want to be like them. I just would like to list six out of, may be, hundreds of the qualities the great salespersons have:

i. The great salespersons portray a presentable impression by looking sharp, speaking well, demonstrating positive attitudes and knowing well about their products.

ii. The great salespersons are a great relationship builders. They build a long lasting relationship so that they will get repeat sales and loyal customers. So as in SFI, they build a good relationship with team members to build them as team leaders.

iii. The great salespersons are great listeners. They have a tendency to listen more than they themselves speak. They lend their ears’ to customers’ needs, always offer solutions to win customers’ hearts. As the Team Leader, our affiliates’ needs must be attended wisely.

iv. The great salespersons invest their time efficiently. They always use their time meeting clients or potential customers. As the Team Leader, we must stay focus in our business and spend most of the time sponsoring and leading PSAs.

v. The great salespersons are great innovators. They always seek new, better and faster methods to increase sales. In SFI, they great salespersons always seek new ways of advertising and communicating with team members.

vi. The great salespersons never give up. Sometimes when they lose clients or, in term of SFI, when PSAs opt out, it is a sad thing in their lives but even in their worst moments, you can bet your bottom dollar that success is waiting for those who persevere. They focus more on introducing and applying several methods to succeed.

Having those six out of abundant traits of the great salespersons are more than enough to make us an outstanding Team Leaders.

Hope we all try to learn and become the great salespersons who always Aim High and
Dream Big!
