How To Negotiate Sales & Do Selling
Negotiating is the core point in any sales and it is all about thinking efficiently & Quick with using all experience available.
Many Deals booming or failing because of negotiating and how both parties negotiate, that's why every successful businessman/woman need to ensure this essential point :
- Before the negotiation begins, prepare yourself; aim to appear dare to do the deal, but not desperate.
- Clarify your objectives (price, volume ...etc.) and how important the deal is to you.
- Find out what the customer goals . What features or extras do they value, and what are their priorities - price, service or delivery?
- Research the customer's position: how urgently they need your product, what they can afford and what alternatives the competition are offering.
- Assess the value of your offering to the customer: what benefits it offers, what problems it solves for them, what alternatives it replaces.
- Identify the strengths and weaknesses in your proposal and plan your strategy; aim to reach a deal which will suit the customer as well.
- Decide what could be negotiable; try to identify concessions which would cost you little but which the customer would value.
- Consider the potential impact on other deals and other customers of any concessions you make.
- Clarify your terms and conditions from the start of the negotiation.
- Pitch your opening price high; explain how the value in what you are offering justifies the price.
- Agree what the negotiating points
- Concentrate on asking questions and listening; fend off questions aimed at discovering your own negotiating position.
- Test the strength of any concessions the customer asks for; ask whether they are deal-breakers, or what alternatives there are.
- Look for reciprocation on any concessions you make: for example, an increased order size in exchange for a discount.
- Summarize each point as it is agreed; shake hands on the deal when all the points have been covered, and follow up with a written agreement.
