SPOKEN
  • That proposal seems vague to me?
  • The longer I look at this presentation,
    the more puzzled I get.
  • So, what I am looking at here is the water
    garden proposal.
  • Perhaps I can shed some more light on it.
  • Yes, I see just what you mean. Let me show
    you how it looks as you requested.
  • Thats the picture we created earlier.

15
Auditory Statements
SPOKEN
RAPPORT REPLY
  • So what youre saying is the value is what
    will show big
  • on completion?
  • What else would you say is
  • a good value?
  • Tell me more about the
  • service backup?
  • Our customers have told us that many times.
  • The reason we developed this approach is
    based on many conversations with customers and
  • our development people.
  • As we said before, if we hear of
  • any problem we will fix it without question.

Kinesthetic Statements
SPOKEN
RAPPORT REPLY
  • I feel more comfortable with your
    suggestions.
  • I can handle that amount so walk me through
    the benefits of this project.
  • I am getting a sense that your proposal may
    be a bit more than I can handle?
  • I had a hunch that you might feel that way.
  • So that you can get you arms around it,
    lets get a sense of how it fits your Criteria.
  • You may feel a lot better when you see the
    value in real product. It is difficult sometimes
    to get a sense of the completed project from
    pictures.

The Sales Process
  • Build Rapport Trust
  • Identify your Customers Buying Patterns
  • Criteria 1st
  • Deliver a structured presentation.
  • Pre Frame your presentation
  • Present using your customer Criteria as the
    foundation.
  • Use your customers buying patterns
  • Let the customer close the sale by backtracking
    your presentation.
  • Ask closing questions
  • EXAMPLE Based on what we discussed criteria
    and when we can complete the processing
    change-over, is there anything else you may want
    prior to your authorization to begin.

42
Top Questions Builds rapport, shows interest,
and creates understanding
  • Tell me about your business
  • How did you get in this business?
  • What are your priorities?
  • Tell me about your responsibilities
  • How do you define service?
  • What does quality mean to you specifically?
  • What qualities do you want in a sales person?
  • How would you like to improve your business?
  • How are we doing so far?
  • How can we improve our service?

43
WIIFM
  • Whats In It For Me?
  • Your prospect DOES NOT care about the company
    story when they search for a product, service,
    or opportunity.
  • What they do care about is how the benefits of
    your service and product fit their individual
    CRITERIA.

44
WIIFM
  • Benefits answers to their special needs.
    They only care about the BENEFITS that solve
    their problems and meet their CRITERIA.
  • E-factors (Love - Pride Fear Guilt Greed)
  • Benefits are different from Features Remember to
    talk about only the benefits that are important
    for them.
  • Too much talk can talk you out of the sale
    especially when it is not CRITERIA specific.
  • Feature
  • 27 years in business
  • Benefit- repeat their CRITERIA then state the
    benefit
  • Example You stated how important it was to have
    peace of mind and a profession approach. You may
    notice that our references have stated they had
    peace of mind knowing that we completed the
    project with top professionalism and that was
    something you just cant find all the time. You
    will have peace of mind knowing that your project
    will be completed with experienced professionals.

45
Determine Your Benefits
  • How to determine your companys benefits
  • List the features of your product or service.
  • List the concerns or needs of your customers. If
    you don't know ask them.
  • This is where the Criteria question will come in.
    You have to know benefits so that you can easily
    apply them to each prospects CRITERIA.
  • Ask yourself, "Why does this feature matter to my
    customer"?
  • Write your answers on the list. See 2
  • Take it one step further. Ask yourself, "What
    problem or concern can this feature address"?
  • Write down the benefit.

46
The Two Words That Sizzle Your Benefits
  • which means-ties in emotion
  • (feature) Joining our family of local merchants
    will bring you additional shopperswhich means
    your cost of acquiring these additional customers
    is zero. (benefit)

47
USP
  • Unique Selling Proposition
  • What sets you apart from your competition?
  • Ex. Dominos Pizza- Delivery within 30 minutes
  • Little Caesar Pizza- 2 Pizzas for the price of
    1
  • Federal Express- When it positively has to be
    there overnight
  • Do you clearly articulate (in only one or two
    paragraphs) your USP?
  • Everyone in your organization should be able to
    repeat your USP at a moments notice. All of your
    advertising (website, brochures, email
    signatures, print ads, business cards) should
    emulate your USP.

48
How To Pick Your USP
49
Your Personal USP
  • Your personal USP (unique selling proposition) or
    as some call the elevator speech gives your
    merchant prospects a quick benefit statement of
    what you are all about.
  • When asked what you do Do not say I am a local
    representative with MPM local merchant programit
    is the best program Ive seen come along and you
    need to be involved Aargh
  • Do say Well Jim, I help local merchants see
    increased sales growth of 25-50 or more, while
    helping their corporate image, all for Free
  • This should prompt a question from your merchant
    of Oh, how do you do that? You were just
    given permission to explain the program....
    remember HOS .

50
Large In ChargeDirect Selling Mentality
  • YOU have only one chance to make that first
    impression.
  • We have to get into rapport and trust by using
    the influencing skills.
  • The first few seconds the potential customer
    meets you or your staff, reviews your website or
    print material is when your prospect makes the
    decision about you and if they want do business
    with you. Knowing how to speak in influencing
    language is key to making the influential
    impression.
  • Clean pressed clothes, Clean car, etc Are YOU
    Large In Charge?

51
Large and In Charge
  • The perception of your customer is developed as a
    result of the way your customer feels about you,
    how you aligned with the way your customer
    thinks. It is all about perception so how do we
    create that perception?
  • Always dress professionally for all your selling
    activities.
  • The customers perception comes from your power
    to recognized your customers coded messages and
    use the skills to influence.

52
Cold Calling--Telemarketing
  • If you want to continue to look like you are
    DESPARATE FOR BUSINESS, continue to Cold Call
    (Telemarket)
  • You insult your prospect
  • Cold calling creates a perception in your
    prospect that you have nothing better to do at
    that particular time than to try and scrape up
    business. You and your company will look needy.
  • Most of the time when you cold call your prospect
    has no need for your product or services. More
    than likely they will buy your product in the
    near future and not anytime soon.
  • Cold calling fails miserably in finding
    pre-qualified, quality leads from customers
    seeking YOU out.
  • We will be discussing smarter ways through direct
    response ads n flyers to get your cold
    merchants to raise their hands to you.

53
Dont Sound Lame
  • Here are some Qs n Phrases not to use
  • What are you needing?
  • You know.. or You know what Im saying?
  • In my own mind
  • I was in the area and thought Id stop by
  • Were the best in the industry
  • Is price important to you?
  • I understand what youre saying, but..
  • I dont know
  • Hang on a second
  • What do I have to do to earn your business?

54
Continued
  • We cant do that
  • When will you make a decision?
  • Did you get the information I sent?
  • I need you to.
  • Im not sure if
  • Can I be honest?
  • Whats going on?
  • Youll have to
  • Can I ask a question?
  • Its our company policy to.

    a compelling way as to get your prospective
    customer to raise their hand and contact your
    company via telephone, fax, website visit,
    email, or personal visit.
  • This is your only mission. Your sales copy will
    communicate an emotion grabbing headline, benefit
    bullets, and a call to action!

  • Your Mail Out Package

61
Compelling Copywriting UsingA I D A
  • A- Get Attention
  • Your sales letter to have an effect, must first
    get the readers attention. You can do this with
    a lead paragraph that is hard hitting and
    straight to the point. Or start the letter with a
    question or attention getting headline.
  • Remember WIIFM
  • Why should they continue reading on?
  • Example How To Enjoy A Beautiful Paradise
    Environment In Your Backyard 365 Days A Year
    ...In Less Than A Week

62
Compelling Copywriting UsingA I D A
  • I- Gain Interest
  • Here you must reel in the readers interest by
    showing them why they need your product or
    service.
  • Why this water-feature can be constructed in a
    shorter period of time.
  • What makes the Euro Stone product different than
    the number of other decorative concrete products
    available?
  • Remind them of the increased value of the
    property, the paradise surrounding, and the envy
    of the neighborhood.
  • Here you must also prove your claims. You state
    your case by using testimonials (from one person
    regarding one project), case histories (of a
    successful experience from one of your customers).

63
Compelling Copywriting UsingA I D A
  • D- Create Desire
  • Now that you have gotten their attention and
    reeled in their interest.
  • Now create Desire.
  • Tell the customer how they will benefit from what
    you are offering them. Paint a clear picture of
    the benefits.
  • You will have peace of mind knowing the LMP has
    professionals in place to handle your needs.
  • The compliments of your neighbor merchants as
    they wonder how you increased your sales
    substantially.
  • After stating your features along with the strong
    benefit, this is where you want to sum up and
    remind your customer and put them in the frame of
    mind for the final step.

64
Compelling Copywriting UsingA I D A
  • A- Ask for Action
  • You need to know what you want your customer to
    do next.
  • Send in a reply card, an email, fax?
  • Call for more information or a Free report?
  • Schedule an appointment?
  • TELL them. Do not assume your customer knows
    what to do next-so be specific.
  • Always use a P.S. in your sales letters. Many
    people will skim a letter and go right to the
    post-script. Make it compelling such as your
    strong guarantee restated or your most powerful
    benefit.
  • Handout

65
Effective Direct Mail vs. Flyer Distribution
  • First of all, making unsolicited calls to people
    in order to garner new business is not only
    inefficient, but a complete waste of time.
    (Unless you already have a relationship with the
    merchant).
  • GOAL- Getting the right message to the right
    people via the right media and methods.
  • Your direct mail and flyers should be targeted to
    the clientele you wish to buy from you.
  • Mail list companies (by demographics, zip codes,
    etc).
  • Flyer distribution services (same thing).

66
Effective Direct Mail vs. Flyer Distribution
  • Remember your AIDA Goal is the right message.
  • WARNING Dont read another empty report on
    increasing your business Get these free 10
    effective steps to new sales without spending a
    dime.
  • Call Free 24 hour recorded message to request
    your report 877-555-5555.
  • Copy this message into your direct mail, flyers,
    websites, yellow pages ad, emails.
  • This is a solid lead generator!

67
Yellow Page Ads
  • IF YOU have a large full yellow pages ad with
    multiple colors YOU are wasting .
  • If all you have is the company story and not
    WIIFM YOU are wasting .
  • Buyers come to the Yellow Pages with a specific
    need. They look for approximately 4 companies
    that may meet their needs.
  • They are bombarded by the same old company story
    music
  • How Does YOUR company stand out from the crowd?

68
Yellow Page Ads
  • In yellow page ads, where the eye stops, the sale
    begins. Your Headline must grab the attention.
    WARNING.. Do not ..
  • No company name just how to contact you
  • DO YOU want to stand out and be one of the 4 they
    call?
  • Do not let your Yellow Page Ad rep write your
    ad!!!

69
Web Sites
  • Your web site is another extension of your
    Consistency in your marketing program.
  • Remember AIDA
  • Hard hitting headline
  • Sub headlines
  • Bullets
  • Testimonials
  • Free reports
  • Free newsletter sign-ups

70
Web Sites
  • Keyword optimizationSEO
  • Google ranking
  • Pay Per Click

71
Email Campaigns
  • Targeted email is different from SPAM.
  • Use HOS to recognize clues in client emails.
  • You can target email the right message to the
    right individual as long as you leave a signature
    file at the end of the email. i.e.
  • Van Epping Director BPP-Local Merchants Program
    My Power Mall 888-888-8888
  • Always collect correct email addresses from all
    of the contacts you makeIMPORTANT
  • Ask for them in your direct response ads.
  • Always make sure you have opt-out info at
    bottom

72
FAX Campaigns
  • Targeted direct fax campaigns (primarily for B2B
    contacts).
  • Here is where you can go to all of your local or
    regional online portals to retrieve company
    information on possible installation customers
    for your business.

73
Joint Ventures
  • Joint Ventures are the practice of developing a
    profit business relationship between your company
    and another company in your industry who has a
    client base you wish to have buy from you. (Teach
    this to your new merchant sign ups to approach
    their list of vendors, etc).
  • A great way to add new business without all the
    over head.

74
Developing A Back End
  • It is imperative to learn the LTV of your client
    base.
  • LTV Long Term Value.
  • Long Term 10 yrs, 15yrs..etc.
  • By developing back-end products and services, you
    can continue to profit from your existing client
    base.
  • Plenty of back end available in MPM and the LMP
    program
  • It costs approx. 150 to bring in a new customer
