Price Objection is Your Number #1 Killer in Selling

May 10, 2010 - 10:53 pm No Comments

Most price objections are the result of self-inflicted wounds. Salespeople routinely sabotage their own efforts at negotiating for higher prices. Below is the classical example that explains further,

“For this model, our price is RM800 but if it really becomes an issue for you, then I can go back and try to get a better price for you.”

The above example clearly indicates that the salesperson just do not understand the value of what he is selling. In most cases, the results are the same. The buyer says, “Your price is too high!” and the salesperson agrees. The buyer wins the argument. Remember, price is what they pay; value is what they get. Remind yourself of the value-added services that your company delivers to your customers. Accepting your customers’ comments that your price is too high is equivalent to accepting that your product is nothing better than your competitors.

Selling is Everyone’s Business

April 6, 2010 - 10:13 am No Comments

Selling is “you-focused”, not “me-focused”. Selling is primarily about helping individuals and organizations solve their problems with a product or service you offer. In order to succeed, you must get “me” out of the way. Your focus must be on the customer and what he / she / they need. You are not there to push a particular product that you like or that is best for your bank account. You are there to determine what product or service is best for the customer’s particular situation.

This can be difficult for some of us. We often approach a sales situation with everything we want to say fixed firmly in mind. When the customer brings up an objection, rather than listening for what the real concern is, we use one of the 1,001 “overcoming objections” one-liners we’ve memorized. Wouldn’t it make more sense to start by asking questions to determine what the customer’s true needs are instead?

Selling is hard work. Again, this may come as a surprise to those who think selling is the career choice of people looking for a way to dodge work. The truth of the matter is that selling is a challenging, mentally demanding and highly disciplined way to earn a living. It requires a high level of organization, a commitment to continuing education, professionalism and excellent follow-through skills, It also requires a quality that can be very difficult to attain and even more difficult to maintain: Persistence is Required!

Sold!

The World Is SOLD!

The bottom line is this: Dealing with rejection, overcoming resistance, keeping up with current product information and maintaining a positive attitude is hard work. To succeed, you must commit wholly to putting in the necessary work, to consistently performing the tasks required for excellence.

HACHIKO – Hachik? (???)

March 20, 2010 - 11:01 pm 1 Comment

My mom told me about this movie she watched recently, a DVD that her friend borrowed her, very touching and best of all is a real life story of a dog, being so loyal to the master. The dog’s breed is from Japan, which is the Japanese Akita. I saw a Puppy Japanese Akita once in real life this breed which looks abit like a cat/lion when it grows bigger.  I would give this movie a 8.1 / 10; the plus point is that is a True Story and secondly is how they get the dog to act so closely with Richard Gere, from a puppy, adult and senior dog.

Hachiko

The name of the dog “Hachi” meaning “eight” , the number referring to the position of the dog within the nest. It is a true story, base on a dog’s loyalty to his owner where he waited patiently and willingly without fail, daily same time, same place until the day he dies! How loyal is that? I don’t think even human can do that, and an animal who is so devoted to his owner with his responsibilities to see his owner to work and back from work daily was his best happiest moment. Hachiko who was born in on November 10th 1923 -  and died on March 8th 1935. That up till today, there is a monument built in the name of Hachiko in front of the Shibuya Train station of Tokyo Japan. Apparently until today, there is an annual ceremony on the 8th March, dog lovers and owners will bring their dog as a time of devotion and honor as a remembrance at Tokyo’s Shibuya station. Even the station entrance near this statue is named ” “Hachik?-guchi”, meaning “The Hachik? Exit”, and is one of Shibuya Station’s five exits.

Bronze Statue of Hachiko

A trailer of this movie can be found in youtube, if you’ve got no time to watch it, when it was a puppy it was really cute!
