- 73. "Whether our prospects like it or not, their bodies and words say it for them," TYPES OF BUYING SIGNALS verbal signals non-verbal signals
- 74. that has already been fully answered, and generally acknowledging that it has been - "How much did you say it costs?" - Be aware that if it's said in shocked surprise and incredulity, it's a cue for more probing! "I could see you on a Thursday" - "How often would we need to meet face to face?" - "We'll need to involve Janet" that's not necessarily free - "Can I try it for a month and see if it works?" - "I'll need to see it in action"
- 75. "That sound really good" - "Who could say no to that?" "What will happen if it doesn't produce results?” We don't need examples here. Even if they say it's overpriced, to have got to the top of their priority stack, these comments or questions say they want to buy.
- 76. "When can we start?" - "It'll have to be next week" - "Can't we do it in four weeks instead of five?" - "I'm tied up until Thursday" - If this type of signal arrives as a question, you can legitimately avoid answering it by asking back, "When would be best for you?" "What do you think would be best?" - "What would you do if you were me?" who's in the room - "What do you think?" - They've decided but they just want confirmation that they're not being daft.
- 77. with a previous supplier - "Everyone I've tried has been useless!" - These types of comment are actually cues for more probing or for a personal contact with a satisfied client - Again no examples needed. It's effectively a no-brainer! Again they just want confirmation that they're not being daft.
- 78. • Spending time concentrating on just one of your products • Asking/looking for help • Asking questions about details - "Which of my people will be directly involved?" - "What exactly will you be doing?" • Touching their wallet or its contents, or their cheque book - Literally or metaphorically • Changes of body state - Relaxing, moving stance, gestures, skin tone, style of speech • Getting out their pen - Literally or metaphorically
- 79. • Maybe it's time to move on Unwillingness to trade commitments - At least unwilling to make their own in return for yours • Your calls, messages and e-mails go unanswered • "I really like your suggestion but I need to ........ before we can go ahead" • Avoiding eye contact when you meet • "We'd really like you to help us but we just need a bit more time/have some other priorities to deal with first" • 'Playing' with your product, or looking at many without ever concentrating on one • Physically moving around a lot, quickly
- 80. Greet the doctor further ask for his well being. Give a small 15 seconds introduction on company image. Listen to the doctor and use the FUNNEL TECHNIQUE to get the flow of conversation. Once you have understood the requirement, use the DAPA Method of Selling so as to confirm there is no GAP between the need and the offering.
- 81. In case the doctor has a doubt/objection, then concentrate and resolve that before moving ahead. In case the doctor asks about the PRICE. Tell him/her that you would give him/her the best price comparing others. (Use the price postponement techniques). In case the question still arises on PRICE, use the SANDWICH METHOD to answer it. Pleasantly Close the sale and confirm the prescriptions.
