Very nice topic for me to being a sales person .this give me a lot of knowledge about how to close a sale.thanks a lot for this. I am working in a very reputed gold jewellery’s firm.

I’ve worked in sales and can never be the high powered seller you are talking about it. I know far too many of them and they drive me batty. When I want help it’s simple and to the point I want this to do this end of story just like you mentioned in your article. Good way to get it all across.

This is so true. If someone wants to buy something they want to feel comfortable about it. They don’t want to have that doubt in the back of their mind so you have to think on their level, like if you were in their shoes what would you like to hear.

It’s about time someone in the business field knows how to treat customers while not sacrificing quality service. I teach Professional Business Writing at a decently ranked COBA and it’s sad how bottom line the profession can be. How manipulative, etc. I see you’re interested in restoring some dignity. Good for you.

This is an interesting topic. Professionalism is a different topic on its own while selling is a skill, But doing a sale following the professional method is great. It brings customer satisfaction if you sell the product in a professional manner.

@Sikanthar – great feedback. Yes, professionalism is an attitude, and attitude will affect how a skill [any skill] is executed.

@Dr.V – Perfect followup to @Sikanthar – manipulation is one of the many attitudes that sales non-professionals attempt to employ to get their way. That attitude affects the outcome, which may be positive short-term, but is doomed to fail long-term. Dignity is requisite to successful closing, and it starts with the attitude and intention of the closer.

@Jesus – it’s funny; people love to buy, but they hate to be sold. The closer who can create a situation in which the client wants to buy and is excited to buy will always beat the closer who wants to SELL, and has to SELL.

I was in sales for 5 months, being a Computer\’s graduate and with good product(Notebooks and Computers) knowledge I thought I did well during those 5 months and today you made me realize that there were few things which I could have improved during those five months but any way, you have a great sales knowledge and you have expressed it very well too.
Thanks.

I have definitely had the misfortune of coming across pushy, inconsiderate and downright impatient sales people. Every sale made should be a special one, and every customer being sold to should be a special person, too. That is how I feel that sales people should treat customers. I know that they are eager to move from one sale to the next to get as many in as possible, but sometimes, I have questions or uncertainties that I need answered. I just want someone on the other end to be there as a person that can help me with my decision. It is not enough that someone receives training to be a salesperson – a person also needs good communication skills, patience and the right outlook on making the sales process a comfortable and enjoyable one. I just wish that I could encounter salespeople with such skills and attitudes!

I completely agree with this post. I have found that honesty is the best policy when closing a deal.

Sales jobs really are difficult. Of course the salesperson is really most concerned about his/her bottom line. It is nice when the sales person is also trying to help you get the product that is the best fit for your needs/wants.

Superb article When selling a product the salesperson has to always look from the customers point of view and take his/her likes and dislikes into consideration.This will only build up the trust.

Very intersting and usefull post. I am totally agree with point \\"just wanted to get the deal done, and move on\\" and by this they get the sale only for one time not get the customer which is not work as profesion.

A good artilce, maintaining professionalism is gonna be though in india,
here people a are rude to sales person. Here the sales person’s attitude is just pushing the product to the customer, there is no loyalty in selling a product to the customer, they just give some fake commitments to the customer. Many companies to don’t ask their sales person to be polite to the customers, thats a pretty sad thing. Every sales person should know to handle customer, will recommend this blog to few of my friends who are sales person.

Thanx for providing such great information. It helped me to a greater extent. The article is very good. It helped me in closing my sales.

This article stimulates food for thought. I especially related to, “The answer is not getting. The answer is giving.” What’s more, the article provides suggestions for action that the closer can put to use immediately. In summary, define the client’s motivation and attach your product to it.

The article is interesting and useful.

Now, you have brought home the truth of how to succesfully close the sale. I’ll definitely put these ideas to work and I’m sure I will succeed in my attempt.

Thanks again for this useful and highly readable content.

In this economy this blog is very important. Your idea that the customer matters and must be treated with respect and deference is something salespeople should be reading. Listening to the customer and meeting their needs, in big or small sales is an essential component to closing the deal.

Wow, very informative and really helpful post, your bog contains so valuable information that anyone who wants to learn and gather some useful knowledge on marketing should read your blog.I like all of your posts and this one is really way to good ahem professional;)

This is a very very good topic for me because I also own a shop and have to sell items throught the day. Closing a sale is of prime importance as whether the product is sold or not depends entirely on it. But my word to all that you should never compromise on honesty to get a sale.

I definitely agree that understanding the needs and wants of the customer is more important than anything else. That is what will bring strong sales, not pushiness!

I’ve witnessed many salespeople who put literally no effort into making the sale personal! Just today I had a woman call and continue to sell though i came up with all the excuses in the world. She never disputed me, just kept going with the exact thing she’d been saying before!

hi! this is a nice blog i found after going through it.It will prove beneficial for those persons who are interested in sales and marketing line.Those persons should go through it throughly to get a good start up.

Very good advice. It reminds of what a book said about negotiating: both parties (the salesperson and the potential customer) have their own motivations and goals. The salesperson should remember that the quickest way to a sale is meet that customer’s goals.

Great post on closing a sale. I\’m hoping to get a new job in sales at a fortune 500 company and will be putting these advice to heart.

This is a very very good topic for me because I also own a . I’ve always been following the wrong methods and I’ve been failing in my attempts to close a sell. Now, you have brought home the truth of how to succesfully close the sale. I’ll definitely put these ideas to work and I’m sure I will succeed in my attempt.

Great blog. Very interesting. This has helped me to better understand my closing. Thank you.

Its good to read and indeed to broaden one’s knowledge. I am not in sales I am a Service provider and certainly the essence of learning is the application of knowledge to meet your peculiar needs as its not possible for any teaching to capture all possible scenarios I have learnt and am ready to apply the knowledge.

I find it interesting when people say they are not in sales. We are all in sales. Whenever we have an idea that we want someone else to support, we are in sales. This article is excellent because it reminds us that ” If we help enough people get what they want, we get what we want” Zig Ziglar Thank you.

Thank you. All along, I have been trying to find that missing link. Now I know, why I was not a success.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. Today’s consumer is by far more educated and are not prepared to give pushy salesmen much time.

Pushy salesmen do not get repeat sales because they typically “force” customers to buy products that are not necessarily appropriate for solving the customers’ problems.

The best salesmen are the ones that listen not talk, talk, talk!
