Understanding Why People Buy In Order To Close More Sales

People buy for their reasons - not for yours. People don't want to be sold they want to buy. In every sales conversation there is one major benefit that will cause the person to buy and major objection that would hold them back. Everything you say has to show how this will benefit the customer. If you have 10 benefits in your product 90% of buying decision will hinge on one benefit.

Remember WIIFM What's in it for me i.e. benefits

Dale Carnegie once said, "When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity." In persuasion, your message has to focus on emotions, all the while maintaining a balance between logic and feelings. Logic and emotion are the two elements that make for perfect persuasion. We can be persuaded using only logic or only emotion, but the effect will be short-term and unbalanced.

Emotions create movement and action. They generate energy during the presentation and get prospects to act on the proposal being presented. The challenge with relying exclusively on emotion to persuade your prospect is that after she has left the persuasive situation, her emotions fade, leaving her with nothing concrete to fall back on. Logic plays the role of creating a foundation for emotion. This balance between logic and emotion could be called the twin engines of persuasion and influence. Master Persuaders know that each audience and individual has a different balance between logic and emotion. Your analytical type personalities need more logic than emotion. Your amiable personalities require more emotion and less logic. Always remember, you have to have both elements present in your message, regardless of the personality types listening.

Remember if your prospect is scared - try the following:

1. Give reassurance that it is all right to take this step, it is a great product and great company.

2. Overcome their fear. Sometimes fear or a bad experience from the past will cause your prospect to behave in an antagonistic manner. You must keep your cool, be completely ethical and totally believe what you're selling has real value and fairly priced.

3. Remember your prospect is not only buying for himself, but he also is buying with other people in mind. He is concerned what others will think.
