Words The Sell - Part 2

Hello friends, I received great feedback on Monday’s email, so let's get started with part two.

Before we get started with our magic words, I want to emphasize how important it is to relay the benefits of what you're selling.

Sometimes the product or service sells itself, other times you have to do a little persuading or leading if you will. You do this by explaining the benefits of your products and services to your customers.

Remember, customers are going to buy. Why not give them reasons to buy from you and not your competitors. One trick is to state a benefit, then listen to your customer... As Charlie Greer says, “you listen yourself into sales not talk yourself into sales.”

Again, state a benefit and listen. If you listen carefully, you will notice that the customer will tell you what they want from you, to be able for you to close the sale. If they don't, tell them another benefit and listen again.

One last point, benefits tie into value. Jeffrey Gitomer said, “if the customer perceives a difference in you and perceives a reassuring value in terms of how he or she wins, then the sale is yours.”

In the next e-mail that we send out we will discuss the benefits and values as a company versus the products or service that we sell.

Since we got a good response from our last email, I'm going to go ahead and give you ten new magical words:

  • At last
  • Boosts
  • Incredible
  • Proven
  • Quickly
  • Recommended
  • Save
  • Stop
  • Warning
  • You

Be sure to use the same exercise that we gave you on Monday’s email with your new ten words. You'll be amazed from the results you receive.

What your fellow electricians say about ES2.

I have been using the system for nearly four years now. To call this anything less than essential would be doing a disservice to what it has done for me. The amount of time it saves me from office paperwork is priceless. I no longer need to come home after a long day and type up handwritten notes into spreadsheet and mail out an invoice or quote. Everything is done onsite. My customers receive quotes nearly instantaneously, and I'm no longer trying to estimate on the fly. The team at ES2 is very attentive and constantly striving to help advance my business as a whole. I'm glad I can count of them being in my corner when I need them.

New member here. I went into business in 89 and have been flat rating for about 15 years. I was trying to find one program to get rid of 6 that I was using.I found it! There is so much great information in the forum, and the contributions by everyone is nothing like I've ever seen. Tight group in here. The forums are worth the monthly fee alone.
