issues and admits
problem.

for the problem(s) from
a business perspective.
Impact
How the problem
affects the person
talking to you.
+ Feelings
“Magic Dust”
Rules
∗ Stop selling features and benefits.
∗ If the competition is doing something, stop
doing it.
∗ No pain, no sale.
∗ The problem the prospect brings you is never
the real problem.
∗ People buy emotionally; justify it intellectually.
Our Favorite Rules:
∗ People buy for their reasons…
∗ If you don’t know them…how can you differentiate?
∗ Not every prospect is qualified to be a customer.
∗ So don’t invest a lot of time until…
∗ Never Cheer for the visiting team.
∗ Stop bragging about what you like.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Thanks for investing this time I promise to get you out on time. Before I start: Confession—I’m Joe Marr and I am a …..SM…there I said it! Another confession; I don’t do sales training. [pause] I help people develop their own strategy and skill in use of a system and psychology to gain deeper trust relationships with other people—and the sales just happen. Everybody ok with that? Concerned about me trying to make a sale with you today—well you can relax about that. In fact I’ll make all of you a promise. I promise not to sell you anything, if you promise not to try and buy anything. There’s plenty of fear out there, and I’m sure in some of your companies there’s some fear about making sales calls, and mostly because there is a fear about looking like a salesperson, I’ve also come to the conclusion that there is also a lot a fear about even acknowledging that sales is necessary.
  • #3 Accidental sales is the rule- not exception
  • #4 Accidental sales is the rule- not exception
  • #5 Tell a story of when you bought something not based on the benefits the salesperson was pitching.
  • #18 Accidental sales is the rule- not exception
  • #19 Accidental sales is the rule- not exception
