How to Sell a Dead Horse
How to Sell a Dead Horse
by Gary Zalben
Well, what did you think of when you read my headline? Yes, that is
exactly what it means and here are a few pointers to work on if you are
thinking of becoming the next top-notch salesman.
1- Face conflicts with a big (horse;) smile and go forward!
2- You have to Kick it out of your mind being scared of making a mistake.
3- If you think it is too risky, don’t mount this horse.
”Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.” – Ovid
4- Nobody is perfect, why should this horse be? Bring it back to life:)
5- There is no excuse for laziness; your horse wouldn’t be dead if you
spent some time in Knowing it inside and out. (Product Knowledge)
There are positive steps you can take to move forward the right
direction toward improving your selling skills. As there are many
traits, habits and attitudes required to be a successful salesperson
such as negotiation, superior customer service, risk taking, product
knowledge etc.; there are two fundamental qualities that need adding to
your abilities and that is creativity and determination.
Without these added qualities, you will not be able to take the
initiative to come up with creative ideas to get to the top. Some sales
people just like to follow the flock, but you need to be creative to
stand out above the crowd. Is there something you do differently to
sell? Maybe there is something you know to connect with your customers
that makes a customer come back to buy from you?
The following are also necessary traits to perform well in selling. If
you work in retail sales and in a commission environment and you know
the steps of the sale, you know the protocol on the sales floor, how to
qualify a customer, how to handle objections, how to avoid returns, how
to treat your customers, what to do to get the sale, you understand the
meaning of “being convincing” in sales, you know how to play possum to
get the sale, you know how to upgrade your customers, you know which
bird gets the worm, you know the ins and outs of closing a sale, you
know how to challenge the customer to close a sale, you know why you
need to be aware of your co-workers, how to control the sales floor,
you can read body language, you know charisma is a various parts
quality that requires assembling etc.; then you know how to sell a dead
horse.
