Now that you’ve warmed up your leads the right conversion techniques are critical to your success. Mastering these techniques can bring as much as a ten-fold increase in business, revenues and profits.
As you engage with your prospects some will go from being “problem unaware” to being “problem aware” to being “solution aware”. With the right engagement strategy this can occur very rapidly.
Once prospects reach the solution aware stage they’re already at the “purchase intent” or “decision” stage.
Prospects at the CONVERT PHASE tend to be informed, familiar with what’s available in your space, and may also be aware of specific authority figures.
If customers are unsure which solution is right for them, you need to make them aware of your solution, educate them about its benefits and provide evidence that proves it is right for them. That’s where a high-converting and repeatable sales process comes in.
The most effective conversion techniques are non-pushy and don’t require sales talent but will convert a high percentage of prospects into paying customers.
It is NOT just a matter of learning a sales spiel, having the gift of the gab or using clichéd or manipulative techniques.
Instead it is the process of qualifying your potential customers to ensure that you’re not wasting your time or theirs.
The best sales people in the world are helpful, not pushy. Their most important attribute is their attitude. Therefore you need to believe in the value of your product or service … and your most important skill is to ask the right questions and listen to your potential customers’ responses.
You need to identify exactly what your buyers are looking for, the problems or concerns they want to solve and the outcomes they’re seeking.
Then, and only then, you provide meaningful recommendations, suggestions, and advice on their buying decisions based on your personal experience of what works.
This allows your buyers to make an informed decision based on what is in their best interest.
Anyone can be trained to sell effectively in this manner and it is probably the easiest, most powerful and significant instant transformation your business will ever embark on.
There are many other very effective conversion techniques you can use such as educating your prospects, using packaged information offers, developing irresistible offers and following up and nurturing constantly. Any one of these can increase your revenues by 20-30% and sometimes a lot more.
Linking 3-4 of these conversion strategies together can easily result in a 60-100% sales increase. And that’s just for starters because I’ve seen businesses go from a typical 5% conversion rate to 20% (+400%) and even 30% (+600%) after perfecting their conversion process.
