Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. Today brings us another tip from Andy Racic, head of sales at Tango Health<\/a>. This is good stuff, give a listen:<\/p>\n

Andy Racic: Provide a better buying experience to get better results.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that people buy from people they like and trust. The thing is though, in a professional selling environment, there\u2019s only so much you can control about how likable you are to each prospect. Chances are, you won\u2019t always have the same hobbies, be from the same hometown, have the same favorite sports team, or have gone to the same school as your prospects.<\/p>\n

You can become a more well-rounded person by traveling, trying out new hobbies, keeping up with world events, etc. but that will only take you so far, and those connections you might be able to uncover with your prospects typically won\u2019t be super relevant to the solutions you’re proposing.<\/p>\n

You can be more likable by providing a buying experience \u2013 doing the basics, and doing them well. When prospects ask questions, make sure you\u2019re actually answering them, not just responding to them. The second they detect that you\u2019re not actually giving direct answers to direct questions, you\u2019ve lost their trust.<\/p>\n

Set agendas for meetings with clear and detailed expectations of what\u2019s going to happen, send them out in advance of the meetings and ask your prospects if they want to add or change anything.<\/p>\n

If you run a sales process that uses PowerPoint type presentations, customize the presentation for each prospect you speak with \u2013 put in a recap slide that covers what you\u2019ve learned about them already. Send the slides to them in advance of the meeting so that, if they really care, they can review them beforehand and then you can actually spend time speaking with them instead of presenting to them.<\/p>\n

Set deadlines for yourself and don\u2019t miss them. If your prospect is lagging on their end and missing deadlines that you\u2019ve already agreed on, politely but professionally check in with them and hold them accountable. They\u2019ll respect you for it.<\/p>\n

The more work you do to make your prospects buying experience easier, the more they will like and trust you. The more they like and trust you, the more detailed information they will share with you, and the more likely you will be to win deals.<\/p>\n
