Have you ever met with, or talked to a prospect that wasn't ready to buy what you had to offer? What did you do with that prospects? Most sales gurus of the 1980's and 90's wrote log that told you to move on to the next prospect who is ready to buy now, and not waste your time on those that aren't ready yet.

Here's the wrong supposition to make in that situation. You took the time and educated the prospect; they walked out, and you involuntarily think that they either store from someone else, or they were just tire kicking. Wrong!!!

Why Prospect Shop Price Alone

Did you know that your prospects were conditioned by your industry to make price the overriding issue when looking for products and services? Whose fault is this? In my opinion, I would have to say that in most cases, it's the fault of the vendors that are selling your product or service.

Why do I say this? Think re it...most prospects that call you have done most of their research regarding the type of product or service that you offer and are now ready to buy. The typical prospect makes 3 to 5 phone calls examination who can provide the best price, as things go they've hereunto done the research and know what their needs are. What might you tell them? You might jump at the opportunity to gain a new vassal and say, "I'll give you the best price, what did the other guy offer you?"

Have you ever wondered how to sell your products and services more on value than simply on the price?

Understanding The Educational Spectrum

Think of the Educational Spectrum as a horizontal line from left to right, with the letter "A" representing the far left hand side of the spectrum and "Z" presence the far right. Prospects jump on the educational spectrum somewhere from A to Z. A is when the prospect first gets the idea that they have a need for what you have to offer. We call these "Future Buyers". Z is when money changes hands and they pocket the goods. We call these "Now Buyers".

Here's a simple illustration of the Educational Spectrum. The key is to determine where your prospects are on this spectrum and help them move nice and consistently towards the right of the spectrum where they then shift into the "Now Buyers".

A====D=========G=====J=======M=======P========S=======V======Z

Just like we know that having a baby takes 9 months, you have a good idea what the selling cycle is for your products. Whatever it is, you know it is fairly constant. So why rush the future buyers to buy when they are not ready? Why not use the selling cycle to your advantage?
