Editor's Notes

  1. In die vorige gesprek was jy blootgestel aan die konsep van ‘n “sales conversation” en waarom dit gebruik word by Libertech. Ons gaan in hierdie gesprek agtergrond gee oor hoe die struktuur van die “sales conversation” ontwikkel is, om jou voor te berei en in staat te stel om jou eie “sales conversation” te ontwikkel. Die struktuur is ‘n samestelling van drie ander benaderings: Die basiese “sales pitch” wat bestaan uit ‘n inleiding, lyf en afsluiting. Die AIDA struktuur wat bestaan uit Attention, Interest, Desire en Action, en Die “elevator pitch” wat bestaan uit die hoek, empatie, omskakeling en samevatting.
  2. Die inleiding is jou geleentheid om die persoon met wie jy praat se aandag te gryp. Dit is dus belangrik dat jy so spoedig moontlik uitkom by die rede waarom jy bel en dit moet spesiaal wees. Goeie foon etiket vereis dat jy jouself voorstel en sê namens wie jy skakel, maar onthou dat “Goeie dag, my naam is Sara van die IRR” nie die rede is hoekom jy bel nie. Net so belangrik as wat dit is vir jou inleiding om aanloklik te wees, moet dit ook geloofwaardig is. Om te help met jou geloofwaardigheid moet jy gemaklik wees met jou inleiding en so jou eie stem tentoonstel. Onthou, jy het een kans om ‘n eerste indruk te maak. Moet. Dit. Nie. Mors. Nie. Jy sal nie die geleentheid kry om iemand aan te sluit as jy nie hulle aandag kon vang in die inleiding nie. Kan jy aan ‘n voorbeeld dink van ‘n goeie inleiding?
  3. Die lyf van die gesprek is waar jy sal uitbrei op die inhoud van jou inleiding, waar jy verder bou aan die vertroue in die gesprek en waar jy die skakel identifiseer tussen die probleme wat die persoon beleef en die oplossing wat gebied word deur die organisasie. Daar is verskeie benaderings wat jy kan gebruik om inligting aan iemand oor te dra, maar die keuse van benadering sal gegrond wees op die werk wat jy insit om die persoon te leer ken in die inleiding. Jy moet eers self die persoon se insig verstaan voor jy kan vergelyk met die doelwitte van die organisasie so luister mooi wat gesê word. Onthou dat mense nie baie tyd op die foon wil spandeer nie, dus moet jou gesprek aanpasbaar wees om voorsiening te maak vir hul beskikbare tyd.
  4. Die slot van die gesprek gaan die laaste gedagte of gevoel wees wat die persoon mee gelaat word nadat die oproep stop. Dit fokus nie op besonderhede nie en moet die toon van die res van die gesprek volg. Dit is belangrik om ‘n sterk “call to action” te hê, ‘n manier vir die persoon om betrokke te raak. Dit moet aanklank vind by die persoon en die die emosies van die gesprek herroep. *Click op slide vir video
  5. Die eerste stap is om die persoon se aandag te trek om sodoende bewusmaking te kan doen. Dit dui daarop dat die persoon bewus word van die werk van die organisasie en hoe hulle betrokke kan raak. Dit is dus belangrik om ‘n goeie indruk te skep. Wat dra by om ‘n goeie indruk te skep? Wees selfvertroud Praat met die persoon op sy naam Hou jou fokus op die gesprek Glimlag, al kan hulle jou nie sien nie
  6. Wanneer jy die persoon se aandag het is dit belangrik om die persoon se belangstelling aan te wakker. Die begin van die gesprek sal vir jou ‘n gevoel gee van die persoon se behoeftes, maar dit is belangrik om die aannames wat jy maak te bevestig in hierdie deel van die gesprek voor enige oplossings gebied word. Om dit te doen is dit nodig om te luister en aandagtig en empaties te kommunikeer. Dink daaraan om ‘n legkaart te bou saam die persoon en elke stukkie inligting wat hulle gee help bou aan die prentjie van hul behoeftes. Dit gaan vir jou ‘n duidelike invalshoek gee om die persoon te benader.
  7. Die legkaart wat julle saam bou gaan wel ‘n stuk of twee kort om die prentjie volmaak te stel. Die vermiste stukkies kan gevul word deur die oplossing wat jy beskikbaar het. Bevestig in die gesprek by die persoon hoe jou oplossing die beste is om die gaping te vul deur te verwys na: Positiewe terugvoer van ander Die produk of diens in aksie te bespreek of ten toon te stel Te verwys na ontasbare voordele
  8. Die laaste deel van ‘n suksesvolle gesprek is die besluit om ‘n lid te word. Hierdie besluit kan van die persoon self af kom of deur die agent aangemoedig word. Aanmoediging van die agent se kant af kan moontlik ontvang word met teenkanting, dus is dit belangrik om voor te berei en gereed te wees vir moontlike teenkanting. Die vaardighede en ondervinding van die agent moet gebruik word om aksie te neem om die gesprek vorentoe te beweeg gegewe die tekens van die persoon af. Hierdie deel van die gesprek is baie tydsensitief.
  9. What is the value of an elevator pitch approach? An elevator pitch empowers you to distil your thoughts and reasoning for maximum communication impact in a short timeframe. It enables you to capture attention quickly and if done right will have the prospect change their plans to learn more. It does not waste time. Important information to get across when time is limited includes: Who you are/ Who you are phoning on behalf of; What it is you do/ What the crisis is/ What the reason is for calling; How you do what you do/ How the prospect can get involved; and if there is time available, an explanation of Why you do what you do. You need to grab the prospect’s attention, so don’t waste time with small talk, just dive right in. Ideally the hook should be about 10-15 seconds long. Start with a full statement and isolate the main ideas so you can, in one sentence, convey who you serve, how you help, and what impact you make. ‘n “Elevator pitch” bemagtig jou om jou gedagtes te fokus en jou boodskap oor te dra in ‘n kort tydperk. Dit mors nie tyd nie en skep die geleentheid om iemand se aandag vinnig vas te vang. As jy dit reg doen, sal hulle selfs hulle planne aanpas om meer tyd te maak vir jou. Belangrike inligting wat oorgedra moet word sluit in: Wie jy is/ Namens wie skakel jy; Wat jy doen/ Wat die krisis is/ Wat die rede vir die oproep is;
  10. Empatie behels die vermoë om jouself in ander se skoene te plaas. Dit beteken jy kan nie werk op aannames van hulle ondervindings en gevoelens nie. Jy sal moet vrae vra om te bevestig. Gebruik dan die inligting om ‘n persoonlike skakel te skep tussen die persoon se probleem en die probleme wat die organisasie ondervind, sonder om afbreek te doen aan die ondervindinge van die persoon. Die vrae moet leidend van aard wees om te verseker dat daar vinnig aanbeweeg kan word na moontlike oplossings.
  11. Sodra dit duidelik is dat die persoon kan vereenselwig met die organisasie is dit jou geleentheid om die gesprek te swaai na die oplossing. Die empatie fase sal veroorsaak dat die persoon begin sit met vrae oor hoe die probleem opgelos kan word. Mense is oorlaai met keuses en voel gereeld lam om net te begin dink daaraan. Dus, as jy die oplossing reg voorgee sal die persoon verlig wees en dankbaar wees vir jou voorstel.
  12. Finally, take 15-20 seconds to bring everything home with a very specific ask. Take the time to think about what outcome you want from the encounter and adjust the rest of your pitch to match with where you are heading. You will be asking for donations in your interactions, therefore ensure that your hook, empathise, and pivot build towards your ask.
