A successful salesperson should always be prepared when entering a negotiation with a key client. Skilled sales professionals understand the importance of maintaining consistent communication with their clients, not just before or during the sale, but also after the deal is closed to ensure ongoing satisfaction. Building strong, lasting relationships is key to avoiding surprises. If negotiations start to take a negative turn, it’s crucial to take a step back and consider more informal approaches, such as inviting the client for a casual lunch. This setting can help ease tensions and open the door to understanding their concerns, allowing for necessary adjustments.

Trarei um outro ponto de vista para essa situa??o: "tenha um plano B". Para você poder focar na negocia??o e conseguir pensar em solu??es criativas, o famoso "pensar fora da caixa". Você precisa estar em "silêncio" e com todas suas aten??es voltadas para essa a??o. Pensar na perda do cliente, comiss?o, e até uma eventual demiss?o s?o "barulhos" que v?o impedir o seu raciocínio e uma postura firme que transmita credibilidade e confian?a aos seus interlocutores.

Primeiro, mantenha a calma. O panico mata negocia??es. Use o poder da escuta ativa. Pergunte ao cliente: ‘O que deu errado?’ ou ‘Como chegamos aqui?’ e deixe-o falar. Seu objetivo é entender profundamente o ponto de vista dele. Repita o que ele diz para mostrar que você está ouvindo. Encontre o ponto de press?o emocional – qual é a verdadeira preocupa??o? Muitas vezes, n?o é o pre?o, mas sim seguran?a ou confian?a. Dê ao cliente um sentimento de controle, fazendo perguntas como ‘O que podemos fazer para resolver isso?’ e esteja disposto a negociar solu??es criativas que atendam aos interesses de ambos.

Stay calm and focus on understanding their concerns. Listen actively and ask questions to clarify their needs. Show flexibility by offering alternative solutions or compromises that address their key issues. Emphasize the value and benefits of your offer, making sure it aligns with their goals. Keep the conversation positive and collaborative, aiming for a win-win outcome. If needed, bring in additional decision-makers or resources to help rebuild trust and find common ground.
