How To Have Effective Communication Skills-Listening The Most Important Secret To Selling-Part 1

I know as a salesperson I have been aggressive in the
past, but have learned that the most important communication skill to selling is in
listening to what your prospect wants and needs as you would a friend.

How times have you been called or approached by salesman that makes you want
to run and hide? They start talking and aggressively begin to push their
product on you and of course fail miserably.

You may even be interested or in need of their service or product but will
never spend one unnecessary minute more with a sales bully.

Effective Listening Skills Are Key To Successful Communication When Selling

What ever your product is you must find out what the customer needs are. The
way to do this is to keep asking why. "Why" will give you the answers to
deal with objections.

For example if your a pool salesman you will get a strong no from first time
buyers with a new baby. But without asking them why you will never know that
you should be convincing them how safe the removable gates are.

The only way to get this important information is to try to connect to your
prospect as a friend and find out how their life is at home. When you realize
the prospects are only friends you haven't met yet you will begin to see a
difference in your income.

Sticking To The Main Objective

No matter the objective the power of why will always bring you to the real one
not the one that sounds good to blow us off. As you can see with the above
example the real objective is the new babies safety. Now stick with that!

Everyone wants a great pool in their backyard for cookouts and leisure but
a babies life is a no brainer. Take care of the main(real) objective and you
have got yourself a sale. Unless money is an issue.

How To Get Referrals By Becoming An Effective Listener

Once you have become a good listener you will soon notice that you will begin
receiving referrals. Of course you will always ask to be referred but if viewed
as a caring concerned friend you will definitely see your income soar! Listening better will definitely improve your bottom line.
