The Sales Process That Leads To Closing The Sale

The sales process will show you how to sell using sales stages. It gives you a map to follow, and stops you getting sidetracked, as you move your customer towards closing the sale.

When you sell using these sales techniques you get:

• To close more sales
• Consistent sales results
• Confidence in front of buyers
• Know where you are and what to say at all times
• Have an objective for each sales stage leading to the close of the sale

It doesn’t matter what type of sales you are making.

A quick low value impulse sale, or a technical sale that requires logical decision making, sales training on using a sales process will give you benefits.

As a sales manager I’ve worked with people in retail, field sales, B2B, direct sales, showroom, and telesales. And this sales technique has proven successful.

This is the sales process my sales teams use with great success. It follows a simple path through the sales stages, from the first introduction to closing the deal.

The Sales Introduction

The objective of this stage of a sale is to give the customer information, as briefly as possible, about you, your business, and the benefits of talking to you. This selling stage includes the most important line of any sale: Your reason for being there.

If you don’t grab the buyer’s attention during the sales introduction then you may not get a chance to use your other sales training. Open Sales Introduction stage of the process and see sales training on how to build an effective sales introduction in minutes, and the common mistakes made in the first minutes of a sale.

The Sales Questioning stage

If you get this selling stage right the buyer will write your sales presentation for you.

The more structure you have when asking the questions to find out your buyer’s needs, wants, and desires, the easier it will be to present your sales proposal and close the sale. You can see free sales training on a great way to structure your sales questions by opening Sales questioning Techniques.

The Sales Presentation stage

You’ve got a structured list of the benefits the buyer wants from a purchase. Now you present a sales proposal that will provide those benefits. Sounds easy, but this is where many people make common sales mistakes that lose them the sale.

For example, I regularly see people presenting features instead of benefits, and benefits that the buyer isn’t interested in. See free sales training on how to give a winning sales presentation, and avoid common mistakes, at Sales Presentation Tips

Closing the Sale

Too many sales people treat sales closing as a completely separate sales stage, unconnected to the sales presentation.

It’s not, it’s a natural sales step from the sales presentation.

You are asking if your sales presentation has shown the buyer how they can get the benefits they expressed in the questioning stage of the selling process.

Today’s customers no longer fall for trick closes and old fashioned sales techniques.

And even if they do you will not see them coming back for repeat sales or referring their friends and business contacts to you.
