Get inside your buyers mind - understanding RISK
|
Good morning Reader Let me be VERY VERY CLEAR about the reason why your buyer is not buying your product or service right now.
We ignore this at our peril. We have to think like our prospective buyer. They are thinking right now:
There are a myriad of thoughts going through your buyer's mind when you talk to them about what you do. The higher the price of the service, the more they have to think about it. At the end of it all is a simple series of thoughts:
If they think that it's BS, they will say "no" or" give me time to think about it". This is simply an excuse for "I’m not sure" which deep down means "I’m not ready to buy". Our simple goal is to get inside our buyer's mind. Become a fly on the wall in their mind. Get so close to them that we know what they are thinking. When we do that, selling becomes simple. We all worry about things that might or might not happen. It's all to do with risk. De-risk what you sell to your buyer. Make them feel comfortable about what you do and what you offer. Make them feel 100000000% sure about what you do and how you do it, that there is no risk to their decision. Do that and the orders will flow in…… Until next Saturday, stay focused on becoming a fly on the wall on the brain of your buyer. James How would you rate this edition? 🤏🏻 So-So |

Good morning Reader If a buyer doesn’t feel sure (or assured) that the service they are purchasing will work or achieve what they want, they say no. Or they will say ‘I will have a think about it’ which is the equivalent of saying no but just on a temporary basis. How do you overcome this? It is all about belief. You have to make the prospect BELIEVE that you can make their world a better place and bring to life the dreams you promise in the sale. Let me use an example that I often use when I...
Good morning Reader I've recently been thinking a lot about one of the biggest problems that so many small business owners and salespeople have, and that is a lack of confidence in their own history and story. Too often I meet with people who tell me that they haven’t achieved much or they don’t have a history that positions them for success. One of the first actions I take with new people I work with is to get them to focus on their own history and what they have achieved. I am always...
Good morning Reader There are only 2 reasons why a buyer will buy something. As sellers, the sooner we understand this the better. But buyers will not make it easy for us. They put up barriers. They protect themselves from ‘nasty’ salespeople who they think (wrongly I know but so many salespeople sell badly) will take advantage of them. Our job is to bring the barriers down... to unpeel the layers of the onion and get the prospect to open up about their real reason for wanting to buy. And...
