Sales Step 4: Presentation

• Use your prospect’s words when you can
• Stay focused
• Don’t let the prospect take you off course (i.e. price)
• Don’t get technical
• Tie your features and benefits to their pain points
![Page 14: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

How to Present in a Clear, Concise,
Logical Order
![Page 15: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sales Step 5: Overcoming Objections
An objection is only a misunderstanding or
lack of information – avoid creating them…
• Don’t create arguments
• Don’t oversell features and benefits
• Don’t move forward until you confirm
your prospect’s understanding
• Don’t ignore your prospect’s questions
• Don’t use sales profanity…
![Page 16: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
Words mean things, don’t use words
that mean the wrong thing…
Most common sales profanity:
Bad Word Better Word
Customer Client
Contract Agreement
Buy Invest
Problem Challenge
Appointment/Meeting Visit
![Page 17: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
An objection is only a misunderstanding
or lack of information…
Step 1: Identify Objection
(Minor, Major, or Conditional)
Step 2: Acknowledge Objection
(I understand Mr. Prospect&)
Step 3: Qualify Objection
(Ask more questions)
Step 4: Answer Objection
(Clarify the misunderstanding)
![Page 18: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
There are 3 types of objections, which
are you dealing with?
Step 1: Identify
Minor Objection – The prospect’s way of saying
slow down. Overcome this objection NOW!
“I want to think about it�”
Major Objection – An objection that can be
overcome, but not today - such as public school
budgets
“Our budget cycle is not until next quarter�”
Conditions – Terms for doing business. You
cannot overcome conditional objections
“Our security measurements must meet HIPAA
Compliance�”
![Page 19: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
To be the trusted advisor, let your
prospects know you hear them…
Step 2: Acknowledge
“I understand Mr./Ms.
Prospect&”
![Page 20: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
Back up a few steps in the process to
move forward in the process…
Step 3: Qualify
Remember your qualifying process:
Discover what the misunderstanding is
Discover what information the prospect
is lacking
![Page 21: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Overcoming Objections
Clear the objection and close by invoking
emotion
Step 4: Answer
Once you discover what the
misunderstanding is, simply clarify.
Once you discover what information
the prospect is missing, simply
deliver it.
![Page 22: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Price Objection
• When the perceived value of a
solution exceeds its cost,
decision making is easy
• For prospects who have
pressing needs, not buying your
product or service might be
their most expensive option
![Page 23: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sales Step 6: Closing
Closing is not the most important step in
the sales cycle, it’s the 6th step…
• Assume the sale – keep moving until they say stop
• Don’t oversell – listen for the buying signs to close
• Don’t stumble through your closes – Practice,
Practice, Practice
• Remember your “value info” from your warm up
![Page 24: MSP Sales Tactic | Using Kaseya to Perform an IT Network Assessment to Win New Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547e1156b37959492b8b53fa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This is the easiest step to get you more business, don’t skip it…
Sales Step 7: Follow Up
Simplify your service delivery by
asking for vertical-specific
referrals
Get more referrals by using a
Referral Lead Sheet
Execute your Preparation step for
the next sale with your new client
NOW!
