Can I have your attention please?

Can I have your attention please?

Listening is an extremely important attribute while selling, You would have to pay complete attention to contemplate the prospects perspective. People who listen effectively only sell effectively. While on a sales call the sales rep is busy preparing what they need to say next rather than paying attention. This is because they are not ready to handle the objections.


The secret trait to the top successful sales people is listening effectively and question skillfully.
While on a sales call or visit it is important for the sales rep to be prepared in taking notes, while most customers say the same thing it is important you make note of key words, phrases which separates them and helps solve the purpose. Ensure that you use them and repeat the key words and phrases they used to build rapport and make your prospect feel that you have been attentive.
Always accompany and take feedback from colleague/ boss about the sales calls you have taken. Ask them to rate the call and where you could have done better. Ensure that you get a record of all your calls for evaluation and hold a calibration session where you can collate the feedback.
An average human mind cannot pay attention for not more than five minutes because your mind starts to explore. You could also practice meditation and yoga for improving attention and seeking clarity on things. You will be able to evaluate things from several perspectives.


Happy Selling!
