Sound familiar?

They need it. So why don’t they buy?

You know your product is exactly what they need. They know it too. And still they hesitate, ask for a quote and go quiet. Most salespeople were never taught how to sell: they copy whoever trained them, push harder or wait and hope.

It’s rarely the product or the price. It’s how the sale is run.

  • Let me think about it.
  • Can you just send me a quote?
  • It’s a bit expensive.
  • I’ll need to check with my partner.

Where sales slip away

  • Enquiries never called back
  • Quotes sent, never followed up
  • Features, not the customer’s problem
  • Discounts to close the deal
  • Waiting for the customer to say yes
  • No sales goals, or ones nobody hits

One-minute quiz

Which of the four salespeople are you?

Everyone who sells falls into one of four types, and only one of them helps customers buy. Six honest answers show which one you are most days. Your answers stay on this page.

  • The Order Taker Waits for the customer to ask to buy.
    Costs you
    Sales go to whoever asks first, often a competitor.
    SalesRICH
    Set up the sale from the first contact, and ask for it every time.
  • The Product Pusher Talks about nothing but the product.
    Costs you
    Customers hear features, not answers, and say they’ll think about it.
    SalesRICH
    Ask great questions first, so customers tell you what matters to them.
  • The Over-Seller Promises the world to get the sale.
    Costs you
    Discounts, disappointed customers and no repeat business.
    SalesRICH
    Answer objections with value, not discounts, and agree what is really needed.
  • The Problem Solver Helps the customer find what they need.
    Costs you
    Nothing, when you do it every time. Most of us don’t.
    SalesRICH
    Turn what you do on good days into a process you, and your team, repeat on every sale.

The big idea

Selling is professionally helping people to buy

Nobody likes being sold to. Everybody likes to buy. SalesRICH replaces pushy, old-fashioned tactics with a simple, respectful way of selling that leaves both sides better off.

  1. 1Focus on the prospect, not the productPeople buy what it does for them. Start with them and you come out in front.
  2. 2Listen twice as much as you talkQuestions are the problem solver’s best tool. The answers tell you how to help.
  3. 3Let customers sell themselvesAsk until you reach what really matters to them. Then the decision is theirs, and it sticks.

Words can inspire, thoughts can provoke, but only action truly brings you closer to your dreams.

How a sale should flow

Six steps from hello to yes

Most lost sales skip a step: a price before the questions, a pitch before permission. SalesRICH gives every conversation the same simple shape, so the customer moves forward one easy step at a time.

  1. 1 Permission Agree why you’re talking and how the conversation will go.
  2. 2 Questions Ask, listen and dig deeper until you reach what really matters.
  3. 3 Solutions Offer the option that fits what they told you.
  4. 4 Agreement Check how it fits, answer any concern and agree the decision.
  5. 5 Investment Talk about money with confidence, as value, not cost.
  6. 6 Action Agree the next step and get it started.

AskListenEncourage Under every step, the same rhythm. Never simply take the order.
