Consultative selling

  • Become a consultant rather than a salesperson - consult rather than

  • aim for long-term, on-going relationships in which you continue to fulfill
    your customers' needs over and over again
  • develop a great network through voluntary referrals from impressed
    customers
  • treat your customers as your equals - and even get to like them
  • develop the relationship first - then attend to the task of fulfilling the
    customer's needs

    The consultative approach to selling enables one to
  • Win and retain customers
  • Do more up-selling and add-on selling
  • Get referrals so you don't have to be continually cold-selling
  • Develop a network so you can effortlessly extend your business
