Study Notes
Go to Market Strategies - Sales Dialogue
- Virtual Sales Calls: Use reliable high-speed internet, appropriate virtual meeting software (Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, etc.), quality equipment (laptop, earphones, microphone), and a professional setting.
- Prioritize effective communication: Prepare and distribute agendas, ensure adequate lighting, a professional background, and comfortable seating. Place camera at eye level and maintain eye contact. Limit distractions by muting and silencing alerts during calls.
- Establish rapport at the start of virtual meetings: Just like in person meetings, establish rapport with the buyer when opening the call.
- Manage virtual meetings effectively: Adapt communication style (tone, speed, volume) to the virtual environment for the message to be clear. Plan for breaks for long meetings, and develop backup methods for technical issues.
- Virtual Presentation Strategies: Plan presentations and practice them with a focused understanding of creating customer value and highlighting benefits. Use verbal and visual aids effectively.
- Keys to Effective Dialogues: Effective presentations and dialogues are planned and practiced. Actively encourage and seek buyer feedback and focus on creating value. Communicate value articulately and engage the buyer using objective claims.
- Encouraging Feedback: Salespeople continually assess and evaluate the prospective buyer. Information from feedback should show the engagement and interests of the buyer, demonstrating progress toward the desired purchase decision. Important to measure climate, buyer interest, and progress in the presentation.
- Check-backs and Response Checks: Salespeople use questions to get feedback throughout a dialogue, confirm the buyer's interests and level of interest. They evaluate how well the salesperson handles buyer objections.
- Creating Customer Value: Identify confirmed benefits. This involves understanding which benefits are important and valuable to the buyer. Present suitable solutions to meet these benefits. Empathize with the buyer, emphasizing features that will deliver confirmed benefits they desire. Delivering value maintains strong client relationships.
- Interesting & Understandable Sales Dialogues: Emphasize using verbal techniques; varying pitch, speed, and volume to highlight key points. Provide clear descriptions of the product or service using specific examples (examples, anecdotes, comparisons, contrasts, analogies.) Use these techniques to explain the value or benefits to the buyers.
- Engaging Buyer: Use visual aids effectively to interact with the buyer; printed materials, photographs, illustrations, charts, and graphs. Utilize electronic aids like slides, videos, and multimedia presentations. Use product demonstrations.
- Reasons for Using Sales Aids: Visual aids capture attention, generate interest in the solution offered, make the presentation persuasive, increase buyer involvement and participation, add clarity to the communication, provide evidence to build trust, enhance retention, and project a professional image.
- Preparing Visual Materials: Simple, clear presentation, consistent layout and formatting, avoiding decorative or distracting colors, use of white space, proper use of sentences. Use short, descriptive language and avoid crowded presentation pages. Design visual aids with only one idea, using no more than seven lines and seven words per line. Choose graphics (charts/graphs), bullet points and clearly labeled, titled visual aids.
- Product Demonstrations: Maintaining neat, clean, and functional products is important. Be confident as you demonstrate skills in product operation. Practice and anticipate problems beforehand. Equip demonstrations with backup parts, have easy setup and takedown.
- Handling Buyer Questions: To effectively handle questions, listen and directly confirm, ask questions, address the group while answering from a perspective of an individual, thoroughly understand the buyers' concerns, do not attempt to answer if unprepared, be succinct and convincing in answers.
- Communication Tips for Buyer Interaction: Group interaction involves active participation, valuing opinions, being non-biased and diplomatic, using good eye contact with listeners, and avoid using visual aids as if they are full presentations. Emphasize body language, posture and avoid contact with own bodies during presentation.
