How to convert sales using Psychology?

#Top Tip 1

Start at the beginning – Create a sales pipeline/prospect list for your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). This could be your customer’s customer, your customer’s competitor, or other business within your customer’s supply chain.

Create a cadence (sequence of actions) with personalised sales touch points, i.e., the communication you have with a prospect while pitching to them.

Examples of communication:

Phone call
Email marketing or newsletter
LinkedIn private message
Handwritten letter posted
WhatsApp Message
Voicemail
Send a gift
Video Conference/Face to Face meeting
Referral

And so on and so on…

Take your time to develop a sales strategy and sales process to build long-lasting relationships with the customer during the buying journey.

Repeat, analyse, and adapt your sales process to convert more customers effectively!

#Top Tip 2

Each individual prefers different communication styles – visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Ask your prospect how they prefer to be contacted, i.e., by phone, by email? And what is the best day and time to contact them?

⏳⏳⏳

Take your time to research your prospect/future customer via social media, their website, other media channels. Learn more about their personality and interests.

When you find a common ground between you and your prospect, it will be easier to build a rapport with them during the sales pitching stages.

⏳⏳⏳

Signposting is a powerful technique in sales. During your correspondence with your prospect, guide the prospect towards conversion by telling a story/case study for them visualise what the outcome or results will be when they work with you. For example, you will increase their turnover by 22% within the next quarter.

#Top Tip 3

It is challenging to remember all you need to say and do when sales pitching!

Use psychological techniques to improve your memory and sales conversions:

Write things down into bite size ‘chunks’, to learn and rehearse information
Speak words/scripts aloud (to identify any errors in your pitches)
Acronyms help to remember key benefits or features of your service/product
Providing evidence of statistics/figures to your prospects will certainly grab their attention!
Learning when experience good smells or doing exercise improves memory retention
Take the time to practice your pitches until perfect!
