For as long as there have been documented records Cheap Mattia De Sciglio Jersey , there have been merchants, or as we are called in modern vernacular, salespeople. People want things. People need things. Considering that there will always be a public demand for something, there will always be a need for salespeople! It has been said that "Nothing happens until someone sells something." This is absolutely true. The sales function drives every other aspect of a modern company. Sales must come first Cheap Matteo Gabbia Jersey , for without sales, there is no need for marketing, accounting, manufacturing Cheap Matias Fernandez Jersey , human resources, etc?
Ask almost any average salesperson what his greatest problem or objection is and more than likely you will hear the word price. "My prices are higher than my competitors" or "Our prices are too high" are often the mantra or excuse for lackluster sales figures. Ask a superior salesperson however, and I suspect that you will find, in reality Cheap Mateo Musacchio Jersey , she has learned that price is seldom the real issue. Let's consider the acronym P.R.I.C.E. for a moment: Perceived Reality Investment Cost Expectation.
Perceived: Sales are most often a process involving perception, or perceived value. Our job as professional salespeople is to sell the value of our goods and services. Once the customer sees that the value of the product or service offers more to him than the selling price asked, the sale is made and the issue of pricing actually never became an issue at all.
Reality: Let's face it, so often sales people use the price excuse for the reason why a sale was not made. Assuming that you are dealing with a qualified prospect Cheap Mario Pasalic Jersey , and you are wasting your time if you are not, the reality is that your prospect needs to learn exactly how your product or service fills his need, closes the void and meets his requirements in a timely manner. That is plain reality.
Investment: The customer must be shown that by purchasing from you, she is making a wise investment and not simply incurring an additional expense. Buyers are not interested in driving their costs higher by spending more money. They are interested in solving their problems. They desire to make cost-effective decisions based upon perception and education.
Cost: As a professional salesperson Cheap Marco Storari Jersey , interested in meeting and exceeding the expectations of your prospects and customers, you must always be aware that price is simply not equal to cost. Remember the old axiom? "Beware the cost of the lowest price." Cost of ownership, payback time and solving problems are the true issues a professional buyer is really looking for.
Expectation: Today's customer assumes quality. They assume service and delivery. Your buyer expects that the products and services that you propose are actually presented with her best interests in mind and that they will meet her needs. That is the starting point. Do not be fooled when a buyer asks you about pricing. If they can maximize their value and get it at a lower price, they will attempt to get it Cheap Manuel Locatelli Jersey , but they will buy at your set price point if expected value is there.
To simplify things further, remember that the customer actually makes the purchase decision only once. The money allocated to acquire your product or service is typically spent one time for each purchasing decision. For each purchase, the company must then deal with the reality of that decision. The item purchased is then placed into service withi ale NFL Jerseys[/url]
