Sales & Service Tip Of The Week

Who knows the 6 A’s?  Come on, let’s go – repeat after me:  Approach, Analysis, Active Presentation, Answer Objections, Always Be Closing, and number six, Apply Service.  Start right now committing these to memory and be ready to apply the A’s to the sales opportunities that exist around you.  Incidentally, how’s business?  Are sales improving?  You may want to go back to week one and review quickly the previous tips as a “refresher” and to begin anew.  Now we’re ready to move to the next “A”, the fourth “A”, remember?  Step four is Answer Objections, where you want to gain the customer’s conviction and eliminate any doubt of why they should buy.  Answering objections is another sales fundamental that is developed and mastered.  How much of your business is handling complaints?  Answering objections is similar to complaints, however, let’s present them separately to try to further help (or confuse!) you.  Look for the checklist on handling complaints in next week’s tips.  Now, make a list of the complaints you have received and don’t forget to “refresh” yourself!
