5 Tips To Help Boost Your Sales

  1. Know Your Product. Experienced one-on-one sales people will tell you that a big part of being successful in sales is product knowledge. You have to know your product and you have to know your competitor’s product.
  2. Lead with Your Biggest Benefit. What is the biggest benefit your product delivers. That’s your strongest selling point, so use it to drive interest in your product.
  3. Qualify Your Prospect. Find out what problem your prospect is trying to solve and show him how your product or service will fix it. Your product or service has many good features but your prospect is mostly interested in how it will solve his problem. Don’t talk yourself out of a sale.
  4. Be Emotional About Your Product. Customers often buy on impulse, not logic. Be excited about your product or service. Enthusiasm is contagious. Get them excited about using your product or service and you will increase sales.
  5. Ask For The Sale. Once you think the prospect is genuinely interested, ask for the sale. If they are not quite ready yet they will tell you why and you can then deal with that objection.
