2- The good salesperson does not sell to “anybody”; he first finds and qualifies the right prospect.
3- The good salesperson does not go into a call “blindfold"; he is carefully prepares the call by setting objectives and planning his strategy.
4- The good salesperson looks for dialogue right from the start and therefore begins with an approach and question.
5- The good salesperson does not present the product or services until he has learnt what the prospect’s needs and buying motives are.

Super Successful Selling
6- The good salesperson presents only those features and benefits of his product or services that relate to the prospect’s needs.
7- If the prospect raises an" objection” the good salesperson does not view it as resistance but rather as an opportunity to respond to the prospect’s needs in more detail. If it is a real concern, he accepts it, deals with real concerns, satisfies the customer’s need, responds by picking up on anything positive.
8- The successful salesperson tries to close whenever he hears a buying signals indicating that the prospect could be ready to buy.
9- The good salesperson knows that the post call review is already the start of the next call.
10- All in all, the professional sales person’s goal is not to sell, but to help his prospect buy and to arrive together with him at a Win-Win situation.

You cannot… Teach: but if you just help and let them learn
Lead: just let them follow your leadership
Speak: let them listen to you
Impress: just express yourself honestly
Give: unless they want to receive it…
Sell: except you let them buy; for their own reason and their own way!
