How to sell more: Implement your new persuaisve selling skills and techniques

Sales coaching for persuasive selling skills or techniques

How to sell more: One of the most unusual things happens when coaching sales people on their closing skills or even their persuasive selling skills and techniques. Now this may be when they are doing great at sales or even when they are in a sales slump.

Now this phenomenon does not make any bit of sense nor would you imagine that it happens, or maybe you would if you have ever worked with salespeople.

Salespeople do the right things and ask for help to increase their sales or even to learn how to sell more.

Now that makes perfect sense to ask for help when needed.

The sales people ask a ton of questions and walk away will tons of valuable sales tactics or strategies that they can implement taking them from sales failure to sales success within a short period of time.

Now here is where the tricky part comes in:

Salespeople will come and get help to increase their sales, they pay for the time, they take time off work, they miss out on home life and then they do absolutely nothing with what they have taken the time to learn.

The newly trained sales person does nothing with the new sales skills or strategies that they have learned, does not implement any of the new persuasive selling skills and or strategies that could be used to increase their sales almost instantly.

This salesperson goes home and then spends the same amount of time that it would take to make the sell or gain the new client and just gives up because they have gained the new knowledge or took part in some sort of sales class. The salesperson may figure that they have done enough because they went to a sales class or met with a sales trainer so the tough part for them is over.

Yes you are right this is utter nonsense for any salesperson to not implement what they have learned…

If you take the time to learn something new implement what you have learned fast.

To go one step further in the strangeness of salespeople and what they are willing to pay for and then do nothing with.

It seems even in some instances salespeople will come and get help because they want someone’s permission to succeed. You read that right, some salespeople just want to be told that they are doing ok. Its almost like they are bouncing ideas off a sales coach just to make sure that they are on target and then they turn out to be sales demons but not before they make sure that it is ok first.

How to sell more using persuasive selling skills coaching

There are also times where instead of just trying something they want to “bounce” the idea off of someone. This “bouncing” of the idea could have been done from free at home but the salesperson just wanted to get permission once again.

For and sales person who is reading this and wants to increase their sales but is waiting for permission to try something new or to close more sales you know have permission to move ahead and sell more and as a side benefit make more money. You do not need the permission of a sales coach to try something new.

As for the salesperson who does not want to implement what they learn that is ok also it will just cost you plenty of money and it spends the same whether you do something with your new persuasive selling skills, techniques or abilities when you get home. The money gets spent the same no matter what.

As a salesperson it is your job to get as much out of sales training that you can.

Now from working with business owners this can go the same way, if you meet with a business coach to learn how to increase your sales or make your company better nothing will change without you first implementing strategies or tactics.

As always I would like to thank you in advance for your comments and or questions.

Now go implement!
