1 Prospecting skills

Prospecting is the art of finding and qualifying potential customers for your products or services. It involves researching, contacting, and nurturing leads until they are ready to buy. Prospecting skills are crucial for any sales role, but especially for outbound sales reps who need to generate their own pipeline and overcome objections. To develop your prospecting skills, you need to have a clear value proposition, a targeted list of prospects, and a consistent outreach strategy. You also need to use sales coaching to get feedback, refine your pitch, and learn from best practices.

L’écoute est le moteur de la vente. Que ce soit en prospection ou en entretien de vente, c’est votre interlocuteur qui va vous conduire à utiliser les bons arguments. Toutes les techniques de vente non basées sur cet item sont sources de facturation superfétatoires. Sans écoute, vous ne saurez jamais le fond de la pensée de votre interlocuteur. C’est la base du sachoir ?? J’ai bati ma carrière sur cette certitude ( je n’en n’ai pas d’autres) Et ma réussite et celle de mes collaborateurs me font modestement plaisir. Surtout que je suis très bien payé pour ?a …?? CQFD What else ? ??

Le plus important pour moi dans la vente c est d ecouter et de comprendre le discours du futur client Savoir se taire J appelle ?a le "TGM" le "ta gueule mentale" Et puis on ne vend jamais mieux que quand on a pas besoin de vendre Sans pression Cela permet d accepter les refus et de les valoriser

You may have heard of the saying " Strategy beat skills". * Your sales strategy can outdo everyone ahead of you in skills. Punctuality, mode of communication, deal closure techniques etc. * You may be good at jokes, use it along with a dash of product knowledge and timely presentation. You may be good at paying attention to detail with great analytical skill, use it. The aim is to get your customers' attention and keep it burning. * Emotional intelligence is also a great sales skill. Watching out for cues, body language, voice tone, verbal Interest or concerns expressed through communications with your potential client and making good notes for a timely value proposition works great.

Never read an agenda , catch the audience attention with interesting facts and then jump to the topic. Making an interactive session is morning enchanting. Never be monotonic while presenting.

Relationship is one of the most important skills, if not the most, a sales person could develop. Understanding your customers and helping them beyond just closing deals can open doors for new business and sometimes customers that you may have a lot of difficult to find in the prospecting ways.

Habilidad de perseverar. Es fundamental ser constante en nuestro trabajo , estar ahí … dia tras dia… sembrar, y ….encadenada viene la segunda, habilidad de esperar, esperar para recoger el fruto de lo sembrado. Esperar a que se den las circunstancias para que nuestro trabajo previo de sembrar, florezca. Hay que ser fuerte mentalmente para ser perseverante y paciente.

Pense a longo prazo!! N?o pense apenas na comiss?o e b?nus, você que atua na área comercial precisa entender que está em uma maratona e n?o em uma corrida de 100 metros, tendo esse entendimento, o sucesso em vendas é certo. Antes de fechar uma venda pergunte: Esse negócio é bom para o cliente, para a empresa que eu trabalho e para mim de forma igualitária ? Se a resposta for sim, vá em frente, se for n?o, reflita antes de pedir para o cliente assinar.
