How can you build rapport with a perfectionist prospect?

By showing you are a SME. You do that by being an active listener. Thoughtfully listening to what is most important to them. Not speaking about what’s most important to you. Addressing their needs and concerns clearly and concisely with facts and data will help win them over.

On occasion not always, LOL, I appreciate this person "type" of prospect. Some disciplines do require expertise beyond the sales process and the ability to provide solid, accurate and useful information that could be critical to the proper sale of the product or service. Some simple advice, don't pretend, if you don't know SAY SO but commit to getting the answer. Sales and the sales process does not have to live or die on the shoulders of one person, use your team, build the true and available perception of a team behind you that he/she gets to be a part of by working with you and your company.

It will be the 'little things' with perfectionists that they will notice, and that will have an impact on how they perceive you. Take the time to triple check spelling and grammar in a presentation, and give references for your facts.

Not every prospect is going to be the right fit for you and the idea that just because someone fits into a box that would make them on paper a great prospect for you, is frankly in my opinion outdated. In my experience in the luxury and high ticket markets, there are prospects that you'll do amazing with and then there'll be others that simply aren't a great fit for you but for someone else they'll be great. If you don't have the temperament or fit to really deal with a perfectionist prospect, then don't! There are plenty of people out there in the world that are perfect prospects for you. Focus on finding the ones you'll naturally vibe with.
