Getting Motivated

Something as simple as ‘Stop selling, start helping” speaks volumes of what you should be doing.
Sales professionals have a natural tendency to go overboard with their pitch. Some become aggressive while some become too pushy. Some do not listen and are too bogged down with pressures of targets and deadlines. Some lose sight of what is important, which is the customer, while getting entangled with the technical details, features and unique selling points of a product or service. The moment you stop selling and try to help a customer with their problems, you job as a salesperson becomes simple.
What Customers Think
Customers are not interested in knowing how your company has come up with a great spec in the product or how the service has been conceptualised. Customers are not interesting in knowing all the achievements of your company or how the product has been conceived to be. Customers are inclined to judge the product or service based on what they need. How can what you are offering be of help and value to the customer. A customer will not have a viewpoint that the product developer or service deliverer would have. When you start to help a customer, you tend to think from their perspective and you can then reach out to the customer not as a salesperson but as a friend who doesn’t have a sales pitch but a solution to their problem or a way to help their life become better or more convenient.
There are many such quotes that will not just motivate you and pump you up but also give you some insightful advice to become a better salesperson.
