4. Bring them into your trance. When you feel you have established a fair amount of rapport, then it is time to bring them into your world. Get them to focus in on you, so they are no longer distracted by their surroundings. In old days of hypnosis, a hypnotist would have you look at spiraling wheel. Hypnotic sales professionals create same kind of trance like state with their presentations. 5. Get them into a good state. As their attention fixates upon you, they might still be in state of mind of their last activity. If it was a pleasant, that’s fine, if not, then make sure you get them into a good state of mind (good mood). People make decisions inside of mental states. It is important to get your prospect into a great state of mind so when they decide to go with your product or service; they will always associate good feelings to that decision. This is first rule to eliminate buyer’s remorse. 6. Find their emotional triggers. People buy with their emotions and justify and rationalize with logic. So it is imperative to discover their emotional reasons for buying. Is it to move away from pain of not having your product or service (perceived benefit) or pleasure of having it? Or perhaps a little bit of both. Once triggers or hot buttons are discovered, hypnotic sales professionals utilize them to persuade prospect to buying their product or service. 7. Become a storyteller. We all love stories. Through stories you can convince someone of anything because it is always done in a covert manner. Tell them stories of previous customers and how happy they were for using you or your service or product. Don’t say it like a testimonial; instead share it with them like a drama. Watch some TV; drama sells! Hypnotic sales professionals are master storytellers. 8. Be first to bring up objections. When a prospect brings up a concern, it is called an objection. If you bring up objection, then you can frame its positive attributes and make your product or service more compelling. Hypnotic sales professionals are quite familiar with common objections associated with their industry, product, or service, and they prepare themselves ahead of time to inoculate their prospect from these objections. 9. Show them alternate futures. Use your stories to paint them a picture of what it would be like to not have your product or service. This goes back to discovering their emotional triggers. If they are moving away from pain of not having your product or service, then really be descriptive with this possible future. If they prefer to move towards pleasure of having your product or service; then paint them a picture of how great it will be when they are using your product or service. This is second rule to eliminate buyer’s remorse. 10. Thank them and reinforce their decision. Always make sure you thank them because without them you would not be there. Customers are lifeline to any successful business. Plant a seed for their next purchase and while they are still in that great mood, suggest they share their experience with their associates and friends. This is a hypnotic way to ask for a referral. Two things will happen as a result of their sharing of their experience. First, it will reinforce their good decision about using your product or service. Second, they will automatically enter into this great mood every time they talk about you, your product, or your service. And when their friends or associates inquire about great mood, you will get free publicity. This is third rule to eliminate buyer’s remorse. WHERE DO YOU BEGIN? One begins to master hypnotic selling by starting with first tip and really getting that down well. The process to master hypnotic selling is same way you would eat a watermelon; one bite at a time. The key here is to integrate it into your own style, not to become a robot. Add your own flair once you have mastered each skill set. After you practice each tip, you will notice an apparent increase in your sales, improved relationships with old and new customers, and more referrals.
