🎯Or anything that really made an impact for you
Would love to hear a testimony on how that helped you.
Here's some of the advice I've learned that helped me sell in person & online:
✅Convert some of your DMs into voice DMs (this is to build trust, especially if you are faceless. They can put a voice to a name)
✅Listen more, pitch less. Carefully listen to when they share their needs & frustrations. Find a way to relate, repeat back, rephrasing what they shared with you so that they feel heard. Share your personal testimony (& if you don't have one, you can use someone else') on how you've overcame (said frustration) & won.
✅Ask open-ended questions, allowing them to voice their thoughts, concerns, and beliefs. Towards the close, when asking follow up questions, give them 2 options that both lead to a yes (leaving a "no" outside of any option).
✅Build rapport by showing respect, empathy, and a genuine understanding of the person's needs and goals. Focus on their pain points and aspirations, offering personalized solutions that align with their values. Prioritize trust and connection to create authentic, successful sales conversations that empower rather than just sell.
✅Internally CARE about them & show them how you can serve them.
✅Humility. Gratitude in all things. Continual willingness to learn.
✅Top Tony Robbins Sales Rep said "You have to be sold on you, before you can sell you to other people." If you don't believe in yourself or your product, they won't believe in you or your product. Have authentic excitement & conviction. Sharing your product should feel like introducing others to something valuable you wish you'd found earlier, driven by a genuine desire to help them benefit.
✅Do not try to oversell & word vomit to try to convince. Just like in dating, drop helpful hints leaving them wanting more. Provide an insight, then leave it there for them to decide. When you're in a constant convincing frequency, you're walking away from your magnetizing frequency.
✅Don't chase. Tell yourself that you are still good either way whether or not you close. People can sense desperation. People know when you're thirsty and it's repelling. It's like a shark in the water, and the fishes swim away and hide. I personally don't like being chased after in the store or the car lot.
✅Share results, testimonials, case studies. When sharing your offer, talk about the *results*, the *outcome* connecting to their true desire, the *transformation* it did for you. Not just a list of program breakdown (i.e. ❌# of hours in module)
✅Show the value in IG Stories (80-90% of where sales take place on IG vs reels). Include the retail price & your discount price. Show what other bonuses they'll receive when purchasing with you.
How this has helped me over my career & online:
💸Exceed my sales targets 900%, becoming #1 in bringing in leads for one company.
💸Close companies (from start ups to billion dollar companies) to pay me on average anywhere from $7k-$15k per session or per month, each, for my consulting fees (I'm a Fortune 500 Strategist experienced in scaling multi-million/multi-billion $ companies in size, revenue or business improvement processes for best ROI - including with #1 Amazon corporate & #2 Walmart eCommerce).
💸This might not sound much, but in the digital marketing world, open up a brand new IG account, in 2-3 weeks gain 1,200 followers & $1,400+ testing new strategies. I anticipate more as I continue to grow & expand.
