believe in what you sell
Believe in what you sell, treat your customers with respect; and don't lie or cheat your way to closing the deal. Try to set standards that align with doing the right thing and your customers will know they're working with someone they can trust. As an example, if you say you're going to send the proposal with an info sheet, do it. Even if it doesn't seem like the customer will care. You'll respect yourself more and so will your customer. Show up to meetings on time, these types of things speak volumes and build trust with your customers and are ways to make closing deals easier for yourself. Long story short, have a sense of accountability, respect, and belief in product/service and you'll soar in sales.
In my personal life, I'm frequently engaged in philanthropy within my community, and usually get involved with the fundraising. The first year I was tasked with raising funds for our annual street fair, I struggled. Small businesses in town are asked every day for $$$ from local non profits who are very deserving. As an owner of a non profit that fills food pantries, I get it. When we got involved, we were fortunate to work with a small band of visionaries who joined the team just when it was almost canceled. We believed in our project. We engaged local businesses, our community, and local non profits, while adding in exciting entertainment that attracted a larger attendance. I went door to door on each one of my vacation days and convinced the businesses that their investment would pay off. We engaged them to join the local merchants association to support each other. We branded the event and marketed heavily to our target audience. Our little street fair went from 1,500 attendance for 30 years, to over 6,000 with our team. The businesses all prospered, and called it their "Black Friday". Everybody wins.
Absolutely agree! Believing in what you sell is crucial for building trust with your customers and establishing yourself as a credible authority in your industry. It also helps you to genuinely connect with your customers and understand their needs, which ultimately leads to better sales and customer satisfaction.
when you believe in what you sell "selling" becomes "sharing"
When you believe in what you sell, it's not about tactics – it's about sharing value and solving problems for your customers. What steps have you taken to ensure your sales approach reflects your sincere belief in what you offer?
Authenticity is key in connecting with others. People want genuine conversations, not sales pitches.
Alex Hormozi You can never sell anything if you don´t believe in yourself at first. 100% agree, emotions and tone of voice make your audience either feel you or neglect you: Always smile before you dial! Every single time! No good mood today. Call anyway. What helps? Music e.g. has a great impact in your frequency and energy. If you fell not well. Listen to some music! And watch your sales go througth the roof!
You can’t be honestly passionate if you don’t truly believe in what you offer. When you truly believe in what you sell… it becomes more than just simply selling. The motivation becomes driven by conviction.
Helps to believe in the company's mission and values as well. A good product from a not-so-good company will lead to eventual disaster.
no one wants to be sold to they want to hear about what you're passionate about
