To build trust, you need to:
1. Focus
conversation on your prospect's problems, while holding off on offering your solution.
2. Create a two-way dialogue instead of a one-way monologue.
3. Determine whether you and your prospect are a "fit" in terms of being in sync about putting resources toward solving
problems.
All three of these elements must happen in
most natural way possible... and you can help them to come about. Here's how:
*Invite your prospect into
conversation naturally and comfortably -- not by making a mini-introduction about yourself (that only triggers
"wall"), but by asking, "Can you help me out for a second?"
*Toss out your selling scripts and create a dialogue path around
specific problems that you know your product or service can solve.
For example, rather than saying, "Our solution lowers costs," try, "Our solution solves three specific problems that you may be experiencing."
Then, state exactly what those problems are.
Identifying and agreeing on
prospect's problems is crucial but not enough to build
trust and commitment you're seeking.
You can continue
conversation with something along these lines: "Sounds as if these issues are important for you, but, if we can just take a second, are they considered a priority, given what else might be on your plate right now? I mean, are these problems immediate enough that your company can put resources into a solution at this point?"
You see, Jack,
basic cause of your "disease" is that you're not focusing your calls on your prospect's perspective. But if you simply expand your mindset and begin implementing new problem-solving language, you might be surprised when your prospect suggests making an appointment.
Warmest regards,
Ari
