========================================= Relevancy – what's that got to do with my customers?
Well, everything really. =========================================
How to create dynamic and relevant tours
TIP 1: Avoid the "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" approach
Do you believe the sizing charts that say "one size fits all?" the answer can only be no. Then why do some sales professionals take the one size fits all approach when presenting their products or services to potential customers. Treat each and every customer with unique attention and you will prosper.
TIP 2: Listen to the answers they give. The tour is nothing more than offering a solution to fix a problem they have. I.e. lose weight, build up, get fit, rehab etc...
Contrary to popular belief, to be a successful salesperson, it doesn't matter how much you know about your product or service.
It also doesn't matter how much of an industry expert you are. It's all about how well you truly understand their needs and wants of your customer and genuinely find the right solution. If they can't hear the "what's in it for me?" (WIIFM) pretty quick you will lose them.
TIP 3: Don't overwhelm a prospect – they are sure to walk away and give you the "I'll think about it" objection.
Showing the prospect everything you have (one size fits all) rather than tailoring the tour to suit their needs and wants, will more times than not create objections:
E.g. Samantha is getting married in 6 months and needs to lose 6kg to fit into her wedding dress. She has been a member of a gym in the past and really liked using the cardio equipment and weights but found she lost interest easily training on her own, so she tried doing classes and found she didn't like the class environment. An exceptional sales person would understand the importance of giving her what she wants and create the tour/explanation around the fact that she would be a suitable candidate for personal training focusing on a combination of weighs and cardio, they defiantly wouldn't tell her about all the wonderful classes on the timetable.
TIP 4: The real secret to getting to what the prospect really wants is to ask the right questions (qualified prospects) related to what they'll buy, when they'll buy, how they'd like to buy, under what conditions they'll buy, why they want to buy, what would it be like for them if they didn't get the results they want --
And then you ensure your product or service meets those exact needs. Most salespeople are accustomed to "telling and selling" instead of "involving and asking."
=========================================
It's a fact that people learn a lot more from what they experience and actually do than from what they simply hear. The same is true about your product or service presentation.
