    Video Summary:
    The Psychology of Selling Step #1: Drop the enthusiasm.
    This is my biggest passion in the sales training space today. Salespeople need to drop the enthusiasm. It’s time to get rid of the excitement when you’re in front of prospects.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #2: Stop pitching.Recent sales data shows that one of the biggest reasons that prospects and buyers don’t ultimately choose to do business with a salesperson is that they felt the salesperson didn’t really understand their needs.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #3: Pressure is a no-no.Grown-ups are always telling kids that bad behavior is a “no-no”-and this is exactly how I feel about pressure in sales. Never, ever apply pressure to your prospects in a selling situation.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #4: It’s about them, not you.I once had a boss that used to say, “Prospects listen to one radio station, and that one radio station is WIIFM.” Now, do you know what WIIFM stands for? What’s in it for me.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #5: Step into their shoes.Some really powerful data has shown that top performers are much more effective at taking the perspectives of their buyers. When’s the last time you really thought about the experience your buyers go through when talking to you? What about when they talk to your competitors?
    The Psychology of Selling Step #6: Create value through questions.If you've ever watched the show “The Sopranos” then you remember those conversations between Tony Soprano and his psychologist. Did you ever notice how the psychologist never proposes a solution to his problems?
    The Psychology of Selling Step #7: “No” isn’t bad.Let me repeat that: “No” isn’t bad. This is such an important part of the psychology of selling. Most salespeople spend their entire careers trying to avoid any type of rejection. But in reality, hearing “no” isn’t a bad thing at all. You see, our data shows that at least 50% of your prospects are not a good fit for what you sell.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #8: If you feel, say it.One of my mentors always used to say this, and it stuck with me because it’s great advice. In today’s selling environment, there’s just no time to waste with tire-kickers or people who aren’t a good fit.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #9: Get deep into their challenges.This is something I’ve been saying for years. Salespeople need to start thinking like doctors, and stop thinking like typical salespeople. The key is to get deep into prospects’ challenges. Most salespeople just identify a surface-level challenge and then immediately offer a solution.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #10: Tie their challenges to value.We’ve talked about going deeper to really understand what’s going on in your prospects’ world. Now you want to make sure you’re tying their challenges to a specific value.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #11: Make it a two-way dialogue.The psychology of selling shows us that when people are actually speaking, they’re the most engaged. When they’re listening, they may still be engaged in the conversation, but it’s less likely.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #12: Budget comes later.This is one of the most important elements in the psychology of selling. You never want to begin your sales conversations talking about price or money. This budget discussion should come at the end of the discovery process.
    The Psychology of Selling Step #13: Use feedback loops. I said earlier that it’s important to make your presentation a two-way dialogue. Feedback loops are the most effective way to do this. These are little questions to ask when you’re talking to prospects that will pull them back into the conversation.
    So, there you have it. That’s the psychology of selling in 13 steps to selling that actually works. I want to hear from you. Which of these ideas did you find most useful? Be sure to share below in the comments section to get involved in the conversation.

      I have to do a ton of explaining in my industry. I repair and sell HVAC equipment. I find myself speaking 50 percent of the time at minimum. Especially when the customer has a legitimate need to assess the cost of the repair vs the age of the piece of equipment. Often times, a new one is best in the long run. When I sell my customers something, it's because they actually need it. This is something that I will push a customer heavily for. Especially is safety becomes an issue. I'm 9/10 when I push a sale from a safety stand point. I like the philosophy of "becoming the customer". I don't get mad when a customer decides to work on their own equipment. There are so many ways to mess it up that we end up getting called to that unit for diagnosis and repair.
      That's just the way we have to be. In the HVAC industry, traditional sales mores do not apply. Hacks and crooks get called out quickly as well. Just be real.

      I’m tryna Learn this door to door stuff right now because In about 2 hours my friend expects me to start going round my neighbourhood and sell a product a friend gave me, I am a very awkward person I was a very sheltered child so I don’t have good social skills (hens why I’m watching this video) the only commission I’m getting for this is if I sell the product for him meaning I will only make a profit if I sell the product for my friend. I don’t even know where to start when it comes to this whole door knocking buisness and all these videos talk about are just mostly about the mental game, I want to know the basic idea of what ur supposed to do when if comes to this whole thing, I’m not trying to go up to a door and the first person I knock instantly shuts me down and I have no way of explaining what my product is. I don’t even want to knock doors a today because I am so inexperienced and the situation I am in is near impossible to even get some to consider buying, instead I’ll probably just get slot of people annoyed at me for knocking there door during a pandemic like this, when I see pro sales people going door to door most of them get like 1 buyer ever 50 doors they knock and there a doing this as a whole job meaning there good at it, meanwhile I’m literally a sketchy looking kid going out with a sketchy looking box of a product and expecting people to buy it straight from my hands without any proof of it working or proof of its value. I’m probably just gonna take the box with me and walk as far as possible from my friends hours and chill there for like 2 hours, then say I knocked around the neighbourhood and nobody bought from me. I hate to lie but it’s better then telling him I gave up he’s one of those friends that expect you to live up to every expectation or else Ur a fake friend to him. I’m going to list this product on kijiji that’s my best bet at selling anything at all right now.

    Only honest sales people can follow Marc's methods. This is not for the sales people who whenever they look at a person they see a wallet. Its not for those that are out there to only rip people off and to make economic value only for themselves. You need genuine honesty for this.

    • @desetmedia
      @desetmedia 5 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      I agree Azhar. Marc's way works if you are owner operator and selling your products and services to a business owner directly. When you work for a company as a sales rep, you are micromanaged, facing top KPI's, quotas,minimum number of cold calls, minimum number of face to face meetings, You don't have freedom to use this system. You are stuck with what and how they want you to do it. If you deviate from the process or you back off the clients who you see don't qualify ...you lose your job. No one can dictate the tempo how you lead the dialogue with a client but the rest of it...all micromanaged.

    As a sales associate of an optical clinic, my number one tip is don't over sell your product. You should always include the the downside or the drawback of your product. It may seem odd but that's how you gain the trust of the customer by making them feel how honest you are. And of course, always listen to their needs and avoid making arguments with them. You should know that your role is to always find solution. And if you think you can't help them, tell them honestly. They'll pretty sure to ask you again

    Top take-aways for me: think like a doctor, and don't be pushy because it triggers a reaction, and that the top salespeople sift through the no-match prospects quickly to spend time with the right prospects. This was really good. I look for good videos and I read sales books and articles routinely, and I'd rank this one pretty high ---high enough that I subscribed to more of his videos. I like the softer approach, and it works for me, and this was share-worthy.

    Behave as a doctor is a great way of looking at it. It is so different than most people think, yet it will build rapport with the customer, and help the rest of the conversation easier, because the clients walls will come down more,and they will make it easier to open up to you, as well as engage even more into the conversation.

I used the things that you suggested using feedback loops, using questions to determine what was important to the customer, and showing the benefits, and successfully signed up a new customer. During the conversation, it was the most confident and most comfortable I have ever been dealing with a prospect. I felt in no way uncomfortable or intimidated and the whole conversation showed we were a great fit for what he was looking for. Thank you Marc, for the first time since I started I actually look forward to conversations with prospects, rather than dread them. :-)

    I disagree with the rule of no pressure in sales to an extent. I’ve learned there is positive pressure and using it took me from 6 sold units to 16 in one month and I have since adapted it to every sales so long as its beneficial to both the customer and I. For those wanting an example I’ll tell you one of my Toyota Highlander deals I did back in the car business.
    I had a woman down to the pencil on the car deal but the monthly payments were sitting at $682 per month which was too high for her. Now I knew she loved the car (her eyes physically lit up when she saw it and got bigger after she drove it), she was a ready buyer, and had no problem affording the payments. It wasn’t the money she was worried about it was the commitment. Of course my managers told me to show her different cars like a Camry or Corolla bring down the monthly payments. She wanted the Highlander and anything else would have been a bad buy and a bad judgement move on my part. I told her what they told me then proceeded to tell her of a boat I sold to another guy years ago. He too didn’t like the monthly payments and wanted to see cheaper models. I knew it was bad then but didn’t know any better than to sell what he thought he wanted. He ended up hating the boat, me, and the dealership. All because it wasn’t what he really wanted, just something he settled for. I told her to get anything else would be to settle and you’ll hate me for as long as you own it. I told her I couldn’t sell her something she didn’t want and gave her the option to work with my buddy instead. She ended up signing the deal and during the next year she would text me thanking me for pushing her to buy the Highlander and had since sent me more customers.
    Point is...not all pressure is bad, it just depends on how and why you use it

      @hayamayusukefeathermountai8514 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Sunny Nakra most people have a really hard time taking control of the conversation. And when the do it’s to pushy and aggressive. You don’t have to talk constantly to Detour the conversation your way. True salesmenship is remaining indifferent about the sale but enthusiastic about the conversion. That’s the hardest thing for most people to get. At the end of the day it’s a conversation not an interrogation haha. Well at least your client can never know it’s an interrogation ;). That’s were the psychology comes into play.

    The one about making sure they see the value and also feedback loops. As a life insurance sales agent you gotta make it solely about them and their families, and present it in a way that makes sense, conveys the long term value and also that its not a want but a need to make sure that families will be covered if something happens or death. Also key to handling the most common objection which is usually “let me think about it.” Tell them 2 reasons people say that, either not interested, or not sure. Then going into more qualifying questions like affordability, product benefit, to close. Great presentation Marc!

    Your tonality, posture and stare at the end of the presentation with the Question, "what would you like to do next?" is the closer for me. It somehow assumes a lot of "Yes's" from the prospective and get them to commit. Again, not just the question but the visual language of it - MASTERPIECE!!!!

    I currently work at bath and body works and am quitting to pursue a career in commission sales, and I couldn’t agree more with the first point. I’ve gotten more sales by not being overwhelmingly excited than I can even think of anymore and sadly bath and body wants to have everyone berated right at the door! My managers and other people ask me how I sell so well and I just simply say “I don’t overwhelm them right when they walk in.”

      I think it will be applicable in Telemarketing or Follow Up Clients thru Call. When I tried to made a call, and the person told me that "shes busy" call me after a little bit (without time) or keep on telling me that "Im just in a meeting and let me call you back" I will.be straight to the point asking them " hi sir, are we still interested to my this property?" And mostly they will say the final answer.. in that way you can avoid the reality that you will waste your time for not interested person, and they cant feel that you send them a spam messages. Your time and their time is important. So sometimes we need to be straight to the point in a nice way. A real buyers will provide time and efforts for their queries. If they cant provide time to.talk. no doubt they even dont have time to purchase. Lol
