Rethink your approach
Take a step back and treat sales like a simple conversation. Remove the intimidating terms ‘sell’ or ‘sales’ from the equation and focus on discovering what the customer truly wants. Imagine it as an opportunity to tailor your offerings based on a friendly chat.
The key to a successful conversation lies in asking questions. Instead of pushing a product or service, enquire about their needs and preferences. Listen intently to their responses and let those answers guide the direction of the conversation.
Enjoy the process
Rather than stressing about selling, focus on enjoying the conversation. Embrace the opportunity to connect with your potential client, learn about their requirements, and explore how your offerings align with their needs.
Discover your approach
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to sales. Find a method that suits your personality and style rather than conforming to what you think a salesperson should be. The goal is not to fit a mould that keeps you awake at night but to discover an approach that feels natural and real for you.
