Do you actually “see” what happens in the sale?

Those who know me more closely know that I am passionate about the psychological aspects of selling.

“What’s that?” you might think. But, it’s about the little aspects we often overlook that can make a difference in your day-to-day life as a salesperson.

This category includes, for example, subjects such as “Body Language,” “Empathy/Rapport”, and “Influence,” among others.

These are aspects that many salespeople tend to be unaware of because they often give priority to more traditional sales knowledge, such as Conducting Meetings, Negotiating, and Closing Deals, among others.

The negotiation game has a lot going for it. Any salesperson who deals with an organized purchasing department will tell you horror stories about their negotiations.

The tactics can range from simple tricks to win us a few more euros to complex, well-organized strategies involving several elements of the customer’s company.

Sometimes we want to stand up and tell the customer to go to hell because of the posture he often demonstrates when negotiating.

I want to focus today on one of the most demeaning negotiation techniques I know.

I say demeaning because many times, the customer using these tactics forgets that he will lose the whole relational and trust component with the salesperson.

If you think that we often work with a client for several years, you can imagine … [ Read the rest » ] “Do you know when to go to the game in a negotiation?”
