Are You Trying To Solve Your Prospects Problems Too Soon?

Teaching Insurance Agents & Financial Professionals How To Find & Approach Prospects and 'Find The Money' to Close Sales in the Middle-Income Markets!
This is one of the most blatant sales mistakes that I see advisors make! The advisor hears the prospect express a need that can easily be met with their company's products and/or services and he/she immediately offers to meet the need.
Yes, I know, it's very difficult not to immediately respond to a burning need.
However, offering solutions to problems before listening to a prospect's complete situation will have an adverse effect on any sales call. They'll see you as a salesperson instead of an advisor.
You must listen to... ALL of the needs the prospect may have! Then and only then should you try to determine the ones he/she is really passionate about solving.
In other words, shut up and ask the who, what, where, when, how and why questions to clarify what they need. The more questions you ask, the more they'll talk about their problems and concerns. The more you get them to talk about their problems, the more emotionally involved they'll get. And, they'll turn that need into a want!
And, then they'll practically sell themselves!
Present your solutions and benefits only after you have really listen to them, asked more questions, and got them to really think about their situation!
Let me ask you a question...
Would you like to close more sales?
Would you like your prospects to act on your recommendations, without having to hard sell them?
