Whether you are still presenting your products “face-to-face,” or have embraced the benefits of webinars and online demonstrations, here is one technique that continues to drive results: use a script.
Every time you approach a prospect or customer, you should be prepared with a powerful and proven marketing script.
It seems to be unfashionable today to talk about sales scripts, but statistics overwhelmingly prove that a practiced presentation massively outperforms one that’s simply delivered off the cuff. Whether you’re selling face-to-face or online, you need to be flexible and be able to cope with things that crop up, but you should not allow them to divert you from your main flow.
You must remember that your interaction with your prospects is a sales presentation and not a chat around the coffee table with your buddies. The purpose of your webinar, online demo, or meeting is to sell and make you money! And as sales is a process, not an event, your process – your sales presentation – should be carefully planned, constructed, practiced, and delivered. Use a sales script for the following reasons:
- It makes your message consistent.
- The results can be measured and the script improved.
- It systematizes your business.
- You can make a strong first impression (without blundering for something to say).
- It prepares you for any prospect objections, questions, etc. without getting you off track.
One word of warning: Many times people who use scripts sound robotic and unnatural. You can still have a script and be real and in the moment. The script is not meant to be read word for word, it’s there to help you stay focused on what you want to share. And when you do both, you will see an incredible increase in sales!
Leap of The Week: Start small. Before your next client or prospect call, start by jotting down a few key benefits to share and one or two priorities to accomplish during your call and see what happens. The clearer you are about what you want to communicate, the better the results.
Enjoy!
We all get stuck sometimes. Not a problem… but what do you do to get ‘unstuck’?
Getting un-stuck isn’t always comfortable or easy. But what if the hard way: structure, discipline, less distraction, and more accountability was the easy way?
Your life is much smoother and easier when you are calm on the inside and have solid daily habits or “a winning routine” (as I like to call it) to keep you grounded. The benefits of a winning, daily routine are huge! Besides getting more done in less time, you will gain clarity, you will make the right daily pivotal shifts and gain immense momentum and satisfaction from your day… which leads to more profit! (Who would not want that, right?)
Once you have tasted the benefits of a good daily routine, you will never want to go back. We all know this… but… the question is: DO YOU DO IT? Whether you get up earlier to work out or take a break in the middle of the day or get more fresh air; look at what actions ground you the most. The actions that take you from feeling Good to feeling Great!
I know that for myself, I need to start the day with “Me Time”. I usually go to a 6:45am Power Yoga class, followed by a hard earned shower and a healthy breakfast. Then, I take a few minutes to get centered and get clear about what I need to accomplish today and I review my Non-Negotiable of the day. (What’s a non-negotiable? Find out here!)
The kicker? I make sure that I am clear on all my “deliverables” for the day and that my Non-Negotiable is done BEFORE I open my emails… ’cause once you let the world in… there’s no turning back!
Leap of The Week: How will you create space for what you care about today?
July 2010 – already. I’ve waited so long for summer to kick in here in Vancouver, BC, that now that it is here, I find myself asking, “Where does the time go???”…Needless to say, I’ve been enjoying the sunshine tremendously and am happy to report that while summer was taking its sweet time, we were developing some very cool things at LeapZone.
