Closing: A Natural Step in the Sales ProcessBob Hafer
If you don’t ask for the order, you won’t make the sale
That statement is one of the basic truths of the sales profession. Because when you ask for the order you provide the momentum for a client to say yes. Though you may feel closing a sale is a magic moment, in reality, closing is simply following closing principles and then asking for a decision when you feel certain the prospective buyer is going to say yes. This fast-paced seminar teaches you how to ask for the order.
This document provides guidance on overcoming common objections from prospects. It begins by listing some common objections like "I would like to think about it" or "Now is not the best time." It then outlines the key steps to overcoming objections, which are to uncover, isolate, address, and overcome the objection. Specific techniques are provided for uncovering like asking "What specifically would you like to think about?" and for isolating like assuming the objection is not an issue and asking if there are any other reasons. Sample dialogs are given for addressing common objections. The document emphasizes learning the objections in advance and having proven responses prepared.
The document provides guidance on key concepts for salespeople, including defining selling as a process to bring about desired changes in customer behavior using needs-based techniques. It discusses the salesperson's role in disturbing complacency and uncovering dissatisfaction to offer solutions. It also covers understanding customers' motivations, building rapport, asking open-ended questions, handling objections, and using trial closes to have customers consider if a product meets their needs, interests, and budget. The overall message is that sales is about understanding customers and helping products meet their needs.
Sales resistance is one of the causes of defeat for new sales hands. However, understanding the concept and how to handle the objections can turn a reluctant even adamant resistor into your best sales partner.

Handling Resistance: The Sale Begins When the Customer Says NoBob Hafer
When a customer raises objections they are providing salespeople with useful although negative information about the purchase. Objections generally fall into two categories: misunderstandings and drawbacks. The misunderstandings and drawbacks salespeople encounter become “stumbling blocks” or “stepping stones” depending on how they are handled.
This fast-paced seminar teaches a six-step process for handling resistance to ensure that drawbacks and misunderstandings become “stepping stones” to the close.
1. Gaining commitment from buyers is an important part of the sales process. Salespeople should not rely solely on buyers to initiate the purchase and should actively seek commitment.
2. There are various techniques for gaining commitment such as trial closes, direct requests, benefit summaries, and probing methods to understand any hesitations. It is important to avoid coming across as too aggressive.
3. If commitment is obtained, the salesperson should have no surprises, confirm the choice, get the signature, show appreciation, and cultivate the relationship for future sales. If not obtained, the salesperson should discover the cause and maintain a positive perspective for future opportunities.
The document discusses common objections that prospects may raise during a sales call, including objections related to needs, products, source, price, and time. It provides examples of typical objections like "I don't need the product" and "I don't like your company" and recommends how salespeople can prepare and effectively respond to objections to help move the sales process forward. The document also notes that objections often indicate a need for the salesperson to better qualify prospects or address concerns through additional information or proof of benefits.
This document discusses dos and don'ts for handling sales objections. It identifies the most common objections like price, trust, and fear of change. It recommends listening to objections, validating problems, and answering objections by demonstrating features, comparing products, and stressing quality over price. Salespeople should avoid arguing, pressuring, losing temper, or talking too much. They should remain patient, knowledgeable, and make customers feel heard. Objections are beneficial as they reveal customer needs and help improve products.

This fast-paced 2-hour seminar examines how customers think about pricing and value. It is crucial that a salesperson consider a customer’s thinking because it is in a customer’s mind that a buying decision is made or lost.
It’s a customer’s thinking that a salesperson must influence if a sale is to be made. And a customer is not thinking about value. Basically, a customer is thinking about two things: “What do I have to pay and what do I get for my money.” It’s that simple. A customer is thinking, “Is it worth the price?”

Key aspects of the sales process discussed include investigating customer situations, problems, implications, and needs using SPIN selling questions; demonstrating product capabilities; and presenting the price and benefits in a way that addresses customer concerns.
The document discusses objections in sales and how to handle them effectively. It defines an objection as a customer concern or question rather than an excuse. Objections are opportunities to provide information and address customer needs. While many salespeople see objections as bad, they are actually good signs that the customer is engaged and giving the salesperson a chance to respond. The document provides tips on distinguishing real from fake objections, techniques for responding like using "feel, felt, found", turning objections into benefits, and common objections and strategies to overcome them like breaking down costs, facilitating decision meetings, building trust with experience and references, and making the decision to hire easy.
Thank you for the detailed summary. I appreciate you taking the time to break down the key steps and techniques. It's very helpful for understanding the sales process.

16. Personal Selling is Not
(Worst Practices)
Manipulative
Arrogant
Aggressive
Greedy
Unscrupulous
Only out for the transaction
19. Rapport
Gets you in synch with your prospect
Breaks down defense walls
Promotes open and honest communication
20. Rapport - How
Focus on the buyer
Consumer interests
Speak their language
Offer value – law of reciprocity
Humanize your admissions
Share something personal
Testimonials and case studies
Compliment to show respect
21. Rapport – How …continued
Be different
Be first
Be new
Respect time
Understand them enough to see the world
through their eyes
22. Therefore…
Shut up and listen
Don’t be a stranger for long
Use their name
Speak their language
Find the problem; solve it
Don’t sell and oversell
Don’t make it all about you
31. Why People Buy
People can be interested and not buy
People can want something and not buy
If they believe in something they will buy, given
the opportunity and the means
32. Consider This
There is a whole segment of the population with
a mentality that bases good times on where they
can go and what they can buy
-Jeff Foxworthy
33. People don’t buy from sales people because
they understand products but because they felt
the salesperson understands their problems.
34. Therefore…
Put the desires of the prospect ahead of
anything else, especially you, your product and
your company
35. Consider This
Steve Jobs to John Scully to lure him to Apple
from Pepsi:
“Do you want to sell sugar water the rest of your life
or do you want to change the world?”
36. People buy when the pain of the problem is
greater that the cost of the solution
38. And they buy your competitive advantage that
addresses all their other wants, needs and beliefs
39. Be the Sale!
The majority of people make purchasing
decisions based on:
An emotional experience
Lack of vision of the actual product or service
So help your prospect imagine that great vision
of what you're selling.
40. ”Believing" in your products or
services
4 critical elements required for belief
and confidentce are:
Your Product Cost – Competitive with value
added components (see benefits and
competitive advantages)
Your Product Quality - Prove it don’t just talk
about it (testimonials, case studies, awards…)
Creative Solutions – Positioning above the
competition with innovation
Meet or beat Deadlines
44. Taking Dead Aim
Who will benefit most from my
products and services?
Why do customers do business with
you?
What do your customers have in
common?
45. The Ultimate Targeting Exercise
If you could magically
define the “ideal client,”
what would they look like?
48. Better Questions Get Better Answers
Questions generate and guide conversations
It’s not the gift of gab it’s the mastery of the art of asking
questions
49. Consider the Green Eggs and
Ham Approach
Relentless regardless of objections.
Would you try them with a fox?
Wearing socks?
In a moat or a boat?
Sam is a great model for the power
of persistence.
The friend decides to taste
only to discover he LOVES it!
50. What Questions to Ask
Impact Questions about
Situations - Discovery
Problems - Clarify
Implications
Justification of solutions
51. Discovery
Questions allow you to help prospects identify
their real problems
Questions can help them envision the true costs
of complacency
Questions can unearth potential objections early
Questions engage intellectually and emotionally
demonstrating a sincere interest in them
52. Situation Assessment
Questions
How has that impacted…
How useful has it been…
What were the reasons behind that….
What is missing in your opinion…
Has anything changed since we last met?
53. Clarification Questions
Why is that important to you…
What do you mean by that…
Let me make sure I understand you…
Use lots of what questions
54. Justification Questions
Get the buyer to identify the benefits and the
payoff to your solution
How would that impact…
What would you change about..
If you could have it how would that impact?
What would it take…
Ideally what would you like…
55. More Power Questions
What do you like about what you’re currently doing?
What don’t you like about your current situation?
What would you like to be enhanced or improved?
What can you tell me about your priorities?
What prompted you to start this project now?
What can you tell me about your decision-making process?
How do you handle budget considerations?
What other options are you looking at?
What can you tell me about the people involved in the process?
What obstacles are in the way of moving this forward?
How will you be evaluating different options?
How much support does this have at the executive level?
59. Overcoming Objections
Client is sending a signal that they are ready to
buy but are afraid to make decisions
You must eliminate fears
60. How to Overcome
Listen fully
Confirm the objection
Qualify it as the only objection
Question and explore the one objection more
Answer the objection
Pre-close on the answer to the objection
Re-orient the discussion
close
61. Price Objection
Increase perceived value
Bonuses
Bundling
Long term commitment
Give something; get something
Build more credibility
Point out other value (non invoice items)
62. Overcoming Objections
Once you get into discounting and competing
on price, you are pretty well doomed
Prices should be moveable but not the only point
of differentiation
63. Don’t Do (worst practices)
• Argue (dead right)
• Attack the person
• Never assume you understand their language
• Insult
• Avoid issues
• Shift responsibility or blame
• Contradict
• Make the person wrong
• Dwell too long on an objection
• Guess or make up an answer
64. Closing – high probability
selling style
The 'Closing' is the sum total of the entire series of agreements.
Closing happens at all stages of the sales process.
During the sales process, almost any point of discussion provides
an opportunity for a commitment. It's as simple as asking questions
like:
"This system will produce at least 20% more. Is that what you
want?"
"Is it profitable to spend x dollars to achieve that magnitude of
result?”
"The solution requires a new approach and process. Is that
acceptable?"
65. Closing – high probability
selling style
If I could show you a way that you can double or triple
your sales closing rate -- and teach you how to sell
50% to 100% of all prospects that you come in contact
with -- are you willing to spend
70. Keep in touch and follow up
Keep-in-touch marketing is a way to stay in front
of your prospects and customers.
Develop follow up systems with every prospect.
Gently persist with your prospects with regular
calls to check back in with them.
“Not right now” does not mean “no.” “We’re
working with another company” does not mean
“no.” Until you hear the word “No,” it’s not a
“No.”
71. Keep in touch and follow up
Studies show that over 80% of sales take place after seven
contacts.
To be absolutely effective in your sales follow up you need to
plan on having at least seven contacts with your prospects.
44% of all salespeople quit trying after the first call
24% quit after the second call
14% quit after the third call
12% quit trying to sell their prospect after the fourth call
This means that 94% of all salespeople quit after the fourth call.
But 60% of all sales are made after the fourth call.
72. Keep in touch and follow up
So, how are you currently keeping in touch with
your prospects and customers on a regular and
consistent basis?
74. Customer Loyalty is
Everything
Loyal customers always return & become a
dependable lifetime sales stream
Loyal customers brag about your
service/product creating Word of Mouth (WOM)
advertising ; the most effective marketing
You can sell your products for higher prices
Loyal customers are more forgiving when a
mistake is made
75. Its All About Relationship
People buy products from sales people they like
and enjoy working with.
You have to be interesting and fun to talk to.
A good salesperson/effort means that you will
take the time to develop the relationship with
your prospect.
76. Seller Beware
Buyers are becoming more of an expert
Customer expectations are rising
Competition is intensifying
Markets are becoming global
77. Selling Trends
Online Video Conferencing
Web/Phone Conferencing
Text Chat / IM
Social Media
Mobile Information Access
78. Selling Trends …continued
Controlled Word of Mouth
Individuals speaking positively about a product
in a way that does not make it obvious that they
are hired to do so (guerrilla marketing; guerrilla
selling)
E.g. train conversation
79. Action Items to Start
Increasing Productivity:
Examine where sales people spend their time
Look for activity to delegate
Create maximum selling time
Improve the selling atmosphere
Make compensation an incentive and
understandable
Discuss the company's sales and overall business
strategy on a regular basis.
Continuous improvement including training and
education
80. Taking Your Sales to A New
Level
…Wrap Up
Personal Selling – Satisfy customer needs at
the highest level
Make your selling different
No Rapport – No Sale
People buy your competitive advantage
Always be selling; always be closing
