Essential Tools to have in your Sales Toolbox
Here are a few tips to help you get started in adding examples or stories to your toolbox or playbook:
- Reflect on situations with your customers when you helped them solve a problem or leverage an opportunity.
- List these customer situations. Aim to get a minimum of 8 to 10 on your list.
- If you are new or having a challenge identifying 8 to 10 examples, ask your fellow sales representatives to share some of the problems they solved they are most proud of.
- Identify for each situation, in a short paragraph, what was the situation the customer was facing?
- Then list, a minimum of 2 or 3 things that complicated the situation for the customer. For instance, they may have had limited resources, they were under pressure for a deadline, their lines would have gone down, the cost was too high, they needed an alternate way to achieve their goal, they were facing competitive pressure, etc.
- Next, write how you or your fellow team members solved the problem, how it worked out, and the tangible and intangible impact it had on the customer.
- Name the story something catchy, so you simply plan before a call which examples might be helpful to be ready to share. All you need to do is write down – be ready to share the “Lifesaver” story, to create or uncover need.
- Most importantly, practice it, own it. So, you can use it in a nanosecond, anytime, anywhere!
