Presenting (Quoting) the PriceEstimate total
cost of purchase
Consider all the elements that are part of the purchase and bear
influence on the price
Find the right moment
Use the correct technique to justify the
price
A ballpark “heads-up” idea of the price that customer can expect to pay – sets customer’s expectationHighlight the positive aspects of the expenditure including rebates, promotions. Include taxes and any other additional chargesWhen all other objections have been successfully managed, check with customer to ensure all their questions have been answered, then find the right closing techniqueA ballpark “heads-up” idea of the price that customer can expect to pay – sets customer’s expectation

MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Review - Some Closing Techniques1. Sandwich – Quote is sandwiched between
presentation of features and articulation of benefits. Ties pricing to benefits
2. The Balance – On one side all the features and benefits, on the other side the price. Show that features and benefits outweigh the price
3. Comparative Close – Best price in town for this product, is one option. Another option is: “Look at other similar solutions. You will see that ours is the best value option.”

MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Review - Some Closing Techniques4. Break-it-down – Takes the total cost and breaks it down
to smaller, more manageable amounts. “Only three payments of $xx!” Or: “Economical, at only $86 bi-monthly.”
5. Opportunity Cost – You know what else customer could do with that money. Tell them that benefits of this purchase outweigh benefits of the other purchase. Example: “For three meals at le Biftheque, you can get this amazing kitchen set and enjoy home cooked meals.:
6. The Ben Franklin – Put all the advantages in one column and all the disadvantages in another column. Show that the advantages of the purchase are greater than the disadvantages.
More closing techniques

MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATIONSo, all these techniques are good and fine, but what’s the process? How is the flow of Closing structured?
How Customer Decides…
Non-Verbal Cues that are prompted by sales person
by:
• Asking Questions• Applying Closing
Techniques
Customer then makes a decision and expresses it
Verbally expresses interest. Three directions
possible:
“No, I am not
buying”
“Maybe, not sure.”
“Yes, I’m buying”
Customer asks questions, resists or negotiates; sales
rep answers, specifies, enlightens, etc.
Customer then makes a decision and expresses it
End of Process: No Sale
End of Process: Sale

MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Positive Non-Verbal Cues Customer smiles after a presentation or the mention of a
particular feature or benefit Client nods head, in approval Client’s face “lights up” when seeing the product Customer seems to be calculating, thinking, weighing
options, pros and cons, etc. Customer needs to move: gets up if seated, sits if standing Customer plays with products, ties it out Customer exhibits relaxed traits: face, posture, movements Customer puts out his/her hand to shake yours Customer heads towards cash register Takes out wallet, credit card, cheque book
![Page 10: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Positive Non-Verbal Cues Can you think of any others?
![Page 11: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
But wait! There’s More! If you are perceiving only non-verbal cues from
customer, be sure to check with them that you are indeed understanding their intentions: Ask them some clarifying questions Applying a closing technique
![Page 12: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Some Examples of Questions and Closers The Litany of Yes’s
If your customer answers yes to every well-chosen closed questions that you ask, it becomes easier for them to yes when you ask for the sale
Example:“So, you really like this model.”“Yes”“The colors work for you? The size as well?”“Yes”“You can see how nicely it will fit into your bathroom.”“Yes, absolutely!”“Great! Let’s go to the cash register and make it official. Congratulations! You made a fine choice!”
![Page 13: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Some Examples of Questions and Closers “But, Wait! There’s More!”
After starting the close and customer is working on making the commitment to purchase official, you announce once last advantage to prompt the yes (a rebate, free product, etc.)
The Warning Necessary when certain circumstances in the environment
that can be perceived as negative can benefit from your product which turns the negative into a positive
Example: “You may recall the several recent assaults that have recently occurred in people’s homes, around here. Our home alarm can de-motivate potential aggressors lurking in the neighborhood to target your home.”
![Page 14: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Some Examples of Questions and Closers The Alternative
We’ve already seen this one: “Will you be taking the red one or the yellow one?”
Direct Action/Engagement As the customer is talking and you are very sure
that they are ready to commit, you start to take out your order pad, contract, calculator, etc. and say something like: “Okay. Let’s look at the terms and conditions together…”
![Page 15: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
Verbal Cues “I don’t have any other questions” “I want it!” “Yes, this will do.” “I will go with this model.” “No thank, I will pass.”Also: “What would it cost?” “Do have any in stock, at this time?” “When can you deliver it?” “How exactly can I finance this purchase?”
![Page 16: ANDREW ZIELINSKI, MBA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7bf2a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MODULE 5: SALES REPRESENTATION
When Customer Say No, Firmly It’s okay You can’t win them all Always stay professional If possible, try to get them to explain why.
Sometimes, that starts a new, less pushy conversation, that may reveal more information that should be DELICATELY managed. This is more the exception than the trend…
