Top tips - selling skills
  • Remember that the best salespeople spend much more time listening than they do talking.

  • Never rationalise failure by trying to pin the blame elsewhere. When a sale is lost ask "Where did I go wrong?" When we win a sale ask "How could I have done better?"
     
  • People buy people first and everything else second. 

  • Never say when asked to visit a customer "This is going to be a waste of time!" The call will probably fulfil your prophesy if you do. Instead, set realistic objectives and give it all you've got!

  • Remember that activity leads to success. Work smart as well as hard, and results will follow.

  • Be tidy and well organised. Many sales are lost simply because the salesperson forgets to follow things through.
