To be a great salesperson all you need to do is to remember 4 basic principles of advertising. In order for you to make a sale you must grab the attention of the prospect, peak their interest in your product or service, create a strong desire for your product or service and then ask for the sale. Many newbies forget what attracted them to SFI. They were surfing the net and saw a very interesting banner or text line with key phrases that struck a cord with them. So in other words, if you use the hook that drew you into SFI then it will most likely draw someone else like you.

Moreover, if you are trying to sell electronics then you have to deal with a prospect that has an affinity for electronics. Now let me ask you, "Who doesn't like nice cool gadgets that make business and play more fun?" Everyone does right? But not everyone has the money to buy. So they aren't good candidates. So you can toss that old school teaching that everyone is a prospect. No they are not if they can't buy what you have to offer.

So assuming that your prospect can buy, now your job is to get their attention. Say something like -"Get 1 free when you buy two at the regular price." Or you might say, "Buy One - Get 1 Free!" All of these are not catch phrases but attention getters! Now that you have the prospects attention you have to peak their interests.

What is it about your product or service that will add value to the end user? This is the information you are going to use to peak their interest. You might tell them that having an Apple computer will improve your office efficiency by 30%. To qualify your statement, you can add that the lightning USB ports or very fast upload very large files like images and large PDFs. Hyperthreading is seamless between as many as 50 different tabs at once. Experience the quality design and power of the Yosemite OS and a full TB of storage space with 500GB of flash ram. The Mac runs over 1,000,000 different apps all available from the Apple Store which comes preloaded onto your system. Did you see what I'm doing for the right prospect? I'm feeding their addiction for Apple features!

Now that you've peaked their interest, you need to create strong desire for the product. Tell them something like - "That old computer that you have now is so slow when loading up large files and HD resolution graphics. Your internet connect is not pick up fast by your current NIC so if you want lightning fast connections you have got to get a MacBook Pro. Right now, there is a special. You can get our top of the line Macbooks and save $100." Never promise what you can't deliver and always overdeliver on your promise. "It will come with a full manufacturers warranty and 1 year of AppleCare for free!" See? Peak the desire.

Once you've gotten your prospect excited about your offer, then all you have to do is say something like - "I will ship them Apple MacBook Pro right to your front door for free! Our checkout is 100% encrypted and we are a verisign merchant. We don't sell your information and your credit card info is not stored on our servers. Click here to experience the power of your next generation computer.
Now after reading your ad, if you would want to buy it, trust someone will buy it too. ;)

It all starts and ends with respect! You are there to serve your customer, but in order to do that, you have to determine first what they need and want. If you present a bunch of things that they don't really need, you waste their time. Most people are busy, and they don't appreciate people who waste their time. If possible, do a bit of homework first so you know something about the person and the company going in. If you require five minutes or so to demonstrate what you have, tell them in advance how long it will take, and ask them to set that amount of time aside. Clear the time and the space in advance. If you say it will only take five minutes, then don't let it take a minute longer.

Another important thing is to know your product. If you don't know what you are talking about, it will be obvious, and you will definitely be wasting their time. Be a good listener. Give them a chance to speak. Don't try to tell them everything you know in one massive outburst. Listen for clues as to what they are looking for, and what they need. Be respectful and appreciative of their time, and thank them for taking time to meet with you. Always leave them thirsting to know more.

Furthermore, be the consummate professional in appearance and manner. Don't promise anything you can't deliver. Follow up and follow through. Show that you care about them, their company and their products. Keep in touch periodically. Look for ways you can help them.

Thank you for this great question.I think all affiliates interested with this qusetion and its answer
to become great saleman or salewomen you need great effort you but i realized some steps that you can use to begin this long jurney:
1-Explore the Tripleclick products and choose the products that interest you or that you have a sense of high value to the prospects.
2-Choose the targeted audience where you well start to promote or sell your product for example if you want to sell beauty products , so choose the groups in the facebook that deal with beauty products, women , make up..etc
also you can join communities at google plus or other social media and recommend you to make a blog for every product you want to sell and direct the prospects to your blog .thereis many platforms to make blogs, i recommend wordpress, of course these step need great time and effort but i think it worth this effort.
3-THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO : add a value to encourage the prospects to buy your produc for example add BONUS you can you use gift cards as a bonus with your products for products of low price add a gift card bonus and with the products of high value raise up your bonus for example if you sell a product with a price of 50$ you can add a bonus 10$ and so on , add your inspiration, add your brain storming
4-Another powerful idea, make a price and withdrawal ticket,this is great powerful idea, you well introduce prices at the end of every month for your buyers for example, the first one earn prize 100$, the sencond one earn prize 50$ and next 4 persons every one win 20$, the last 4 persons win price 10$ for each one and so on, this for example and you can add your brainstorming and new ideas
wish you success

Hello
To be a great salesman /woman, you must understand the following:
I discovered these traits when i was in the field myself. I researched what made great salespersons as i had to sell stuff too for a company. With what i discovered in the lives of Zig Ziglar. Kiyosaki etc. I came up with the following that gave me great sales while others gave up in the company some years back.
1. Build your self esteem. It is your first key. You must know who you are and what you are capable of achieving. Don't over do it. You'll need it on the field.
2. Activate your plan and purpose. This is you having a well detailed plan of what you want. You must be able to visualize the specific profit of what your organization wants, within a specified time and period and execute them by having what i call Vision Board
3. Your Location. Your location determines what is drawn to you. You must know what your location needs and fill it.
4. Your Packaging: the packaging of your product is very vital because it is what represents you and determines your sales. People are easily attracted to beauty and this is what draws people to you.
5. You must have the details of the need of the people you want to sell to. A great salesperson identifies the needs of his/her prospects.
6. Advertisement: you must know how to market your products. This is what differentiate the great sales person to the ordinary. Advertisement is the root of success in any business.
7 Learn to package yourself well. You know a man by the way he dresses. Your competence lies in selling yourself and these are four: Your Mind, Your Face, Your Body and Your Voice.
These four are the four powerful communicating tools that will empower you to sell yourself well.
Your mind and face shows what you want to say, Your Body and Voice says what you want to say. Put on a smiling face. It draws prospects to you and dress corporately. Great salesmen/women do.
8. You must learn how to handle rejection. This is what differentiates the great and successful sales person to the ordinary ones. 98% of sales reps are scared of selling because of being rejected. You must turn that rejection into A TOOL OF POWER IN YOUR MARKETING SALES. This is the pivot that can make you a big sales executive or a failure. Get books that deals with rejection in marketing. Every sales person has had to face rejection one way or the other. How each handled theirs is what spelt their greatness. Eg Kitchen Chef's founder was rejected with his proposal 1,000 times. He never received a no for an answer. He's rich today and became a great salesman.
9. Your Power Of Persuasion. This is what determines the success of a salesman. Your power of persuasion is what determines your sales. If it is low, people won't be convinced and therefore no sales. To build that power you must be convinced yourself and have your own personal results from your own product. This has been the key of great salespeople.
10. Give value for money. Give in use value what you take from prospects and
Lastly, Develop Your Attitude. It is your determinant factor to your greatness as a sales person and determines your relationship with your prospects.

Hi Gabriela,

Sales is at the core of my being, really. I worked on the phone for 22.5 years and about 17 years of that was in sales. On top of that, in person, I worked in fast food ("Would you like a pie with that?") and I sold cookbooks door-to-door.

Regardless of the work, I was always myself. I am outgoing and a clown and I like to have fun while I work. Tell me "no", I'll still thank you for your time and say it was nice talking with you because it was. I think you really have to lend yourself to the job at hand, even spill your guts i.e. you have a most terrible migraine headache. (I get them.) Tell them you have the stomach flu, whatever as long as it's true and you're sharing. Psst! It's like you and they are being close.

The other thing, know what you're selling; know it inside out. Have you ever gone shopping for a car and the person who was selling the car answered your questions with "I don't know" or they just kicked the tires? Know your product(s) - and well.

Even if you're having a day from you know where, try to speak with some volume, clearly and with a smile. No one wants to buy a product you aren't happy about; they might think they'll buy garbage. And it isn't. Try to be happy and get excited, but don't sound fake or they'll catch you.

I guess I should've written this at the start (ummm, I'm late) but I always ask how the person is. I have a way about me that people always tell me and I care enough to ask what's wrong. Personally, I can't stand being asked how I am when it's just a question. Me? I want to know how you are and I will try to cheer you up when you are feeling down.

That's all from me. Great luck!

Learn your business very well. You also need to read the Launchpads, and all the information across the black bar on home page.

Go to TripleClicks, too, learn the kinds of products they carry. Explore auctions, games, everything! When you are comfortable with what you are trying to sell, it will show in the ease and comfort with which you present yourself and your business.

Never lie, exaggerate, try to lead them to believe something not true. Do whatever you tell them you will do -- be honest with them.

Be friendly, do not pressure. The best way to be a great salesperson is to like and understand what you are trying to sell.

Best wishes to you:))...

This question is asked probably because of the desire to ask someone to join SFI. True that that we use salesmanship in marketing SFI.

There are three things that we should be mindful if we want to become a great salesman or saleswoman.

1. Earning the Trust of your prospective customer.- Its very difficult to sell to someone who don't trust you and your product. To do this, you must:

a. be familiar and convince with your product, in our case we must be familiar with all aspects of SFI and we are convince that SFI works. Out of what we know is true, it will come out naturally from our mouth.

b. show that it is working on you - use the products and show them that it works on you. Work hard on your SFI business and show them some results.

c. show empathy to your prospective customer - find out their needs and feel with them. Find common grounds. Most of them are like us, wants to augment their income or in deep financial problem. Show them them that if they can build foundation at SFI then can have a stable monthly income.

2. Add assertiveness. Continue to be genuine and as you build your mutual trust invite them to try and buy your product.

In our case, invite them to sign up with SFI and assured them that you are there to help them in their journey. Give him your gateway and even assist them in signing up and introduce to them the different parts of SFI and TripleClicks sites.

Introduce him to different products and different ways of making transactions including the benefits and the rewards of buying from TripleClicks

3. Remain Positive and optimistic - Expect some bad responses from your prospective customers. But remain focus in your objective.

In SFI we only need 5 to 10 active affiliates to build a foundation that can give us full time income. So, focus on this 5 to 10 active affiliates.

Embrace the reality that in internet income programs only 0.1% to 5% will become active. So do not expect that you will get a lot more negative responses that positive.

We need to understand the buyer’s interest first.
Customer is the king.
We’ve to recommend the product or service to serve their interest or want.
We must not push the product.

We should be confident and that confidence level should be transferred to the customer. We need to tell about our company’s successful completion of years- 17 years, parent company completed 30 years, 15 million people around world are involved, 203 countries, 4141 ECAs,91,555 products, an additional few hundred products added up daily, 115 Local Pay merchants, secured site with a Pay Pal facility, Payoneer debit card. We should add up every strength and value of our company. This will develop the belief of the customer. We need to represent our company properly.

We should not sell the product, in fact, we need to sell the features of the product, and the product will get sold automatically.

We need to tell stories with emotions, about how our past customers felt about the products, how their lives changed, easier, time-saving, more enjoyable etc.
Our conversation should be real and casual as if we would be talking with our own family members or friends. Should not be too much excited.

We should not have any stress, anger, any negative emotions. That will reflect our success status. When we show any negative emotions, any one could easily judge that we’re not happy with what we do.
Maintain a good mood, balanced mood always.

Develop a good rapport. If they are not buying our product now, or not joining with us now, does not matter. In future they might change their mind.

Have to be honest and transparent with our words, communication, follow up, time, service, and quality. After sales calls to check with them, to get their feedback. This will help to give better service and future orders too.

In case when we are not clear about something, we need to tell them that we’ll get back to them sooner, and get the proper information thru our site, our up line leaders, ask SC, forum, support etc. We must not give any improper information.

Salutes to our President Sir Gery Carson for developing such an exceptional site TripleClicks where we have ready-to-market tools embedded with each and every product. Sharing with Face Book, twitter, copy URL facilities.

Hope this will help.

I think, a great salesman or woman must have the following qualities:~

Never think in terms of sales but rather in terms of building a business, we should build our businesses one customer at a time and then always leverage the last customer into more customers, we should listen more than we speak - getting an understanding of the customer's needs and then finding a solution, deliver more than promise-and always promise a lot,
invest time in those things that positively affect income and avoid spending time on those things that have no return, seeks new-better and faster ways to increase sales efforts,
willing to invest in networking- community and relationships- knowing that the difference between a contact and a contract is the "R" that stands for "Relationship, fanatical about selling, don't depend on marketplace economies for outcomes and instead rely on actions, surround with overachievers and have little time for those who don't create opportunities, never accept good enough as good enough, don't see failed sales attempts as failures but as investments in the process, never give up on unsold clients-knowing that someday those clients will buy/active, squeeze hours out of minutes and weeks out of days, see problems as opportunities, invest in education-development and personal motivation-knowing that these are the tools of a sales professional, invest in careers-businesses and customers, hold to performance standards that are higher than even management teams do, don't need others to hold us accountable, constantly in think-plan and prepare mode in order to continue to build client base and keep pipelines full.

If we able to follow the above points then one day our team will quote us as 'GL'- not Gold Leader but Great Leader.
Good Luck
