Why do people buy?
People make purchases to meet needs or resolve problems. They decide to buy when the pain of the problem and desire for a solution has been built to the point where they are greater than the cost of the solution.
In order to close more sales, you must uncover and develop the buyer’s problems.
We never persuade clients of anything. Clients persuade themselves. Our function as sales professionals is to understand the issues that matter to our clients.
