Watch Your Customer Better to Sell More

In your eagerness to sell, do not make the mistake of taking your eyes off the customer. You should stay focused on their body language and regularly check to see if you are on the right track.

In the old style of selling, it was important to cover all the bells and whistles of your offering. Many salespeople never took much of a breath as they filled all the silent spaces with their pitch. But value selling training recommends a completely different approach. It is no longer about you as a salesperson, your company, or your product/service; it is now all about the customer…what they need and want.

You as a value seller need to engage your customer. All your meetings should be interactive where you listen and learn as much, if not more, than you talk. Watch the customer for signs they are tuning out, for indications they disagree, or for their need to move more quickly. Ask what you may have misunderstood or if there is a better time to meet. Then adjust your approach and pace as needed.
