Are You Selling The Wrong Thing?
Are you focusing on
selling the wrong thing? If you are, you are not alone as the majority of
salespeople focus on selling the wrong thing. In addition, senior
executives in companies encourage their own salespeople to focus on
selling the wrong thing. In fact these senior executives even give their
marketing departments large amounts of money to spend on producing
marketing materials which focus on selling the wrong thing. This focus on
selling the wrong thing is an epidemic.
Focusing on selling the
wrong thing has a significant impact on your sales results: it repels
prospects; it lengthens the sales cycle and often results in lost sales.
So what is the wrong thing?
You are focusing on
selling the wrong thing if you are focusing on selling your products and
services.
You see, if you focus on
selling your products and services, you will have a sales conversation
where several of the following will happen:
1. Your sales
conversations are going to be focused on you and not your prospect. Your
sales conversations are going to be about you: your products and your
services. Your conversations are going to come across as "me-me-me"
conversations and "me-me-me" conversations naturally and automatically
repel people.
2. Your prospects are
going to lose interest very quickly as they probably won't be able to
immediately determine what's in it for them i.e. what relevant problem
your products and services solve. Once your prospect has lost interest
they will probably move on and the sale is lost.
3. Your prospects are
going to feel overwhelmed and confused with all the primarily irrelevant
information you are flooding them with about your products and services.
Overwhelmed prospects do one of two things: nothing or they delay making
a decision. Either way a sale is either lost or, if you are lucky, simply
delayed.
4. Your prospect will not
trust themselves to make a decision. They will not trust themselves to
understand all the information you are overloading them with about your
products and services. They will also not trust themselves to determine if
in fact your products and services can solve their problem. They may even
bring in a third party - a consultant - to help them. Either way the
sale will take longer than it need be - assuming they are still
interested.
So instead of focusing on
selling your products and services what do you focus on?
You simply focus on
selling what your prospect wants to buy. It really is that simple.
Your prospect wants to
buy a solution to their problem. Hence, if your prospect wants to buy a
solution to their problem, it makes sense to focus your sales conversation
on their problem. Your products and services then ONLY come into the
conversation when you get to the part of the sales conversation where you
explain 'how' you solve their problem. Your products and services only
play a supporting role in the sales conversation (versus the leading
role.)
By changing the focus of
your sales conversation to the prospects problem several of the following
things will happen:
1. Your sales
conversations will be focused on your prospect and not on you. Just by
changing your conversations from a "me-me-me" focus to a focus on them,
you will naturally and automatically attract prospects.
2. Your prospects are
going to be interested as you are going to come across as wanting to help
them solve their problem. People are naturally and automatically
interested in people who can help them solve their problems.
3. Your prospects are not
going to feel overwhelmed or confused as you are not going to be
overwhelming them with irrelevant information about your products and
services. You'll only eventually be telling them about your products and
services to the extent they solve their problem.
4. Your prospects will
start to trust themselves to make a decision. During the sales
conversation you will help them understand their problem and its impact on
them and their business. You will help them understand the connection
between the problem they have and how the specific aspects of your
products and services can solve it. With this clear understanding, they
will trust themselves more to make the right decision.
So, as you see from the
above, if in your sales conversations you are focusing on your products
and services you are focusing on selling the wrong thing. As a result you
will repel prospects, increase the time it takes to make a sale and lose a
lot of sales. So start today by focusing your sales conversation on what
your prospects want to buy: a solution to their problem.

Party Plan Tips
Offline and Local
Marketing Ideas
#1) Read
the Engagements and Wedding Announcements in the paper, try to match
up the names and locations with the phone book. I offer those
who are engaged the FREE Tupperware Online Bridal Registry or a
Tupperware Bridal Shower Home Party or a Tupperware Book Party so
they can get new Tupperware!
#2) Check out the ads for those who offer daycare in their homes. A
lot of home daycare providers are interested in Fundraisers!
Tupperware has a fundraising program where groups earn 50% cash! I
also offer them the Tupperware Party so that they can earn FREE
Tupperware Toys, Sipper Cups, Tupperware Kiddie Dishes etc for the
daycare!
#3) Local Job Fairs! Set up a table with info along with catalogs
and business cards! I get a lot of good leads for both recruiting
and party hostesses at Job Fairs!
#4) Contact your Local Temp Agencies and send them a big packet of
info about the Business Oppty that you offer! A lot of Temp Workers
are also looking for home businesses to get into!
#5) Contact Your Local Colleges and see if you can set up a table or
booth with info about your business oppty. College kids love WAH
businesses to help them earn some $$$ while going to school!
#6) Hang up fliers in your community where people get together. For
example: Laundromats, grocery store memo boards, church memo boards,
community centers, Gyms, YMCA and so forth.
#7) Donate to Charity! Its a business tax deduction plus its a GOOD
THING to do!
#8) Sponsor Local Contests! ie. radio stations, newspapers, tv
stations, magazines, any local agency that sponsor contests! Don't
forget bingo halls and schools too!
#9) Look for local ONLINE classified Ads...I run 2 online low cost
paid advertising on 2 different LOCAL classified ad websites! I pay
$8.00 a month for one and $10 a month for the other! I get around 25
requests every month from each....and about 5 new consultants from
each on the average!
#10) Where a pin on you at all times that says "Ask me about my
Tupperware Oppty" or whatever business you are with.
#11) Staple lollipops to your business cards! When out in public and
someone asks you about your oppty, pull out your cards and give them
one!
#12) Get a vinyl cling made for your car that says something about
your business and add it to your car window or add a bumper sticker.
#13) Take out ads or do advertising in College Year Books, High
School Year Books, High School or College Athletic Program Books,
High School or College PLAY Program books etc! All of them have
advertisers listed in the back! You can either advertise your
business oppty, or your products or make a combo ad!
