talker” the opposite is true – he is a good listener.
2- The good salesperson does not sell to “anybody”; he first
finds and qualifies the right prospect.
3- The good salesperson does not go into a call “blindfold";
he is carefully prepares the call by setting objectives and
planning his strategy.
4- The good salesperson looks for dialogue right from the
start and therefore begins with an approach and
question.

services until he has learnt what the prospect’s needs
and buying motives are.

Super Successful Selling
6- The good salesperson presents only those features and
benefits of his product or services that relate to the prospect’s
needs.
7- If the prospect raises an" objection” the good salesperson does
not view it as resistance but rather as an opportunity to
respond to the prospect’s needs in more detail. If it is a real
concern, he accepts it, deals with real concerns, satisfies the
customer’s need, responds by picking up on anything
positive.
8- The successful salesperson tries to close whenever he hears a
buying signals indicating that the prospect could be ready to
buy.
9- The good salesperson knows that the post call review is
already the start of the next call.

but to help his prospect buy and to arrive together with him
at a Win-Win situation.

Lead: just let them follow your leadership
Speak: let them listen to you
Impress: just express yourself honestly
Give: unless they want to receive
it…

buy; for their own reason
and their own way!
