If you put need before trust you’ll be taking a long hop, skip and jump off a short pier and will find yourself up to your neck in lost sales.
Take the Time to Read the Mind
And if you can’t actually read minds, you can certainly (and rather easily) find out what’s going on in there. The discovery process can begin as simply as “What brings you folks out to Ajax Autos today?” It can be as complex and time-invested (not “consuming”) as having your customer fill out a twenty-question survey.
Many of the top companies we’ve trained in the health and fitness field have built into the facility tour a questionnaire/survey that allows the health consultant to isolate the information necessary to find out what is important, really important and not very important at all to the potential member. This valuable information is then used (or not, if it isn’t important) to move the closing forward.
Whatever the situation, you must invest all the time required to find out what is going on in your client’s mind. You must take care of this important step completely before attempting to prescribe product benefits. There are no exceptions.
Take the real estate industry for example. A champion salesperson would never start showing property without first qualifying the prospect. A significant number of variables will dictate which properties will and will not be shown. For example:
Family budget
Expansions—babies on the way?
Reductions—kids heading off to school?
Neighborhoods
Proximity to good schools
Proximity to jobs for each spouse
Location of major traffic arteries
Distance to medical and health facilities
Peace and quiet or “hubbub” of city life
