PRESENTATION
3 Dimensions of Selling
Salesmanship.pptx
Customer
What does the salesperson need to know about the customer?
The problem/need/requirement ?
The Customer - Every great business is built on friendship
How ?
Uncover the customer’s
need and then satisfy this
need with the your product
benefits
Convert a need into a want.
Need…
To convert a need to a want for a specific product, you should
demonstrate your product benefits in a way that makes the customer
realize the importance of your product.
Uncovering the need
Probing Function
1. It allows you to guide the customer
to reveal his needs.
2. With effective probing skills, you
take control of the sales.
Product
Product knowledge is essential
for the success of sales.
WHY ?
It helps the salesperson show the customers what
they will gain by buying his product.
Why knowledge is important
Because it gives you the two key elements of successful selling.
1. Confidence
2. Enthusiasm
Can you imagine a successful salesperson who is not fully aware of his product.
You will feel confident if you know every details about your product and
competitors. Gives you power for objection handling
Confidence
Enthusiasm
Good product knowledge helps salesperson to make the customer see the
product as he sees.
Always go in a flow
Gather and Provide general information
• Understanding the need
• Introducing your product
• Advantages and Benefits
Introducing your product?
Uncover the features of
your product
Tell what action the feature
will perform
Let know the consumer the
benefit of the action
performed
Talking too much about the product features.
Instead of selling product features, you should sell the effects and results of
the product (benefits)
“”Features never change but benefits do. Depending
on the needs.””
A benefit that’s important to one customer will be important to another customers
DON’T ASSUME
Your customer on his own will translate your product features into benefits and buys
it . That is your role
Organizing The Presentation
Feature action benefit (FAB)
In this method, you start with the feature and explain its action and
then come up with the benefit
Benefit action feature (BAF)
In this method of organization, you start with the benefit and then
prove it with the action and relate this action to the feature.
Competitors
Competition - You have to accept the competition because there
is no other choice.
The basis of handling competition is to
Sell The Difference
The difference may be in the product features, design and price.
Or
May be in the salesperson personality, presentation, and knowledge.
Importance of competition Knowledge
It helps in better objection handling.
What should we be aware of ?
What are the products recommended to the customer’s by the competitive
salesperson, and whether the specifications of these products recommended
meet the customer’s requirements or not.
 How does the representative tell his story and demonstrations.
1. Do not include any reference of competitor in your sales
presentation unless it is strictly needed.
2. Never initiate the subject of competition, let the customer make the
first reference.
3. Do not allow the situation to take you away from the primary task,
which is to explain your product.
4. Never make a statement about the competitor before checking its
accuracy.
5. Never criticize competitors since criticism can be interpreted as
poor salesmanship.
