    Let us say that you have taken on a new sales position, and that you are looking to brush up on some of your sales skills. Well, that is great. A career in sales can prove to be rather profitable if you know what you are doing. Of course, in order to succeed as a sales person, you have to be sure that you are putting on a really great sales presentation. If you find that you have never put on such a presentation before, then you are definitely going to want to be sure that you are keeping all of the basics in mind before you hit the field. Fortunately, there is not much that you are going to have to worry about in these regards. Sales can be easy with all of the right advice.

    The first thing that you want to keep in mind, here, is that you are talking to real people about spending their hard earned money on your product. Thus, you have to be ready and willing to treat them with dignity and humanity. Central to treating a real human being like a real human being, of course, is honing your listening skills. The last thing that people are going to want to hear as you are giving your presentation, reader, is that you do not truly care about their needs. If you come across as too cold and calculating, then you are going to lose every potential sale that comes your way.

    Moving on, here, you are also going to want to be sure that you are taking every possible opportunity to build trust with your potential tenants. This process, you should know, is referred to as building rapport, and it is a lot more simple than you might think at first. To start out, you are going to want to be sure that you sound happy. When you sound happy to help your customer, you are going to be able to lead them to believe that, well, you are happy to help them. And a happy employee is a person who we can trust. Moving on, you are going to want to be sure that you are giving them some auditory cues. You do not have to interrupt them, but you should let them know, in some way, that you are listening to the words that they are speaking. The last thing that you are going to want, here, is be sure that you are taking notes as they are talking. Later on in the conversation, you are going to want to be able to refer to their specific concerns and questions. By showing them that you care enough about their concerns to physically write them down, you are going to lead them towards trusting you, and buying your product or sales presentation.

    When you really sit down and think about it, being a good sales person amounts to little more than being a good person. Really, it is just that simple. And when you think about the experiences that you, personally, have had over the years, this point should seem all the more obvious. You, as a consumer, have shied away from pushy, unfriendly sales positions. You have not purchased products from sales reps who do not sound like they are trustworthy, and you have shied away from sales reps who sound much more interested in making the sale than actually helping you find the service or product that you need. Thus, by keeping all of these things in mind as you are shopping around, you can virtually guarantee that you are going to close a lot more sales.

  • AND THEY’RE OFF
    Sarah Little, Secret Shop specialist and administrative whiz gives a view of her day in our phone smart call center blog, and insider diary of the self-storage industry
    Today at work I felt like a runner in a marathon! It started out at a steady pace, and sometimes it seemed like the day would never end. But then, just before I reached the finish line everyone needed something at once and they all needed it right then. So I began rushing around multitasking my multitasks (if that’s even possible).
    I had to send emails to a client who wanted each secret shop sent separately, along with each evaluation sent separately. Add to that my 1-year-old son who was dropped off about an hour ago. I’m amazed the emails were sent without gibberish written on them because he really wanted to type. (As far as I know there weren’t any one them) In the meantime I was pairing the correct calls to the correct evaluation, getting onto the email and sending it AND parenting, and we were making mystery shops in the office. We sometimes like it when kids are around when we make the calls. Their noises in the background throw the managers off our scent.
    As I clicked the send button on the last of the 27 emails I felt a rush of relaxation. I took a deep breath and I really don’t know how I even have the presence of mind to write this secret shopping blog! It’s the end of the week and my brain is telling me to clock out! And so I shall. Have a great weekend!
