Are your sales presentations falling flat? Do you have exceptional products
, services and trainingsbut no one ever seems to get it and you dont know why? If so, youll love these 5 easy steps.
Many experienced and new sales presenters struggle with speaking the language of their customers. Recently, I coached a group of new sales reps. They were eager to learn exactly how to give presentations that really connected with their audiences. But after a short time, I noticed a few things that were standing in their way.
If you want exceptional sales presentation skills training, listen closely. Avoid these 4 pitfalls.
Desire To Impress
Sure you want to look great and feel great. But watch out for over focusing on impressing your client. Many entrepreneurs, business experts and subject matter experts make this mistake.
What should you do instead? Be human. Build a bridge to connect human-to-human. When you are approachable, people will listen. When you are natural, people will relax. This is a faster and easier way to connect with your audience.
Inundating With Data
Many sales experts rely on data charts, statistics and volumes of information to make their point. This can overwhelm busy buyers and turn people off.
As strange as it may seem, your audience isnt really all that interested in your data. Yes, its true. They want to understand what your data means for them. Just about everyone wants to understand how to improve, know more about their business, and go from frustration to freedom.
Align your data with these core human interests. Youll find this is a whole lot easier than drowning folks in statistics.
Talking Super Fast
Yes, your clients are short on timeand attention. But if you talk so fast that you sound like the radio announcer at the speedway, your clients will tune out.
When your clients have short attention spans, take a different approach. Attract them with fascinating stories and relevant insights. Position your material to be so magnetically engaging that people cant help themselves. Theyll forget time. And you can speak at a pace that everyone will understand.
Not Listening
If youre doing all the talkingwhat arent you doing? Listening. In study after study, sales professionals are known for having this bad trait: not listening. Dont be part of this epidemic.
Start with listening. Then, be ready to jump in and address key concerns.
Now that you know clear what to avoid, heres the 4 step plan to pump up sales MOJO. In just 4 easy steps youll have a formula for killer sales presentations.
