    How to 2X Your Show Rate WITHOUT Taking A Credit Card | Ep 30

    enDecember 07, 2017

    Podcast Summary

    • Handling the cost question during sales callsAgree with the question, explain the need for an assessment, and emphasize the value of the consultation to determine the exact cost.

      When faced with the question of how much your program costs during a sales call, it's essential to handle it elegantly and professionally. Agreeing with the customer that it's a valid question is the first step. Then, explain that providing an accurate price requires a needs assessment or an in-person consultation, just like how a mechanic can't give an exact quote without examining the car. This approach not only avoids giving a premature price but also creates an epiphany bridge for the customer to understand the value of your assessment process. If the customer insists on a range, be prepared to provide a broad estimate while emphasizing the importance of the consultation to determine the exact cost. Overall, this strategy helps maintain control of the sales conversation while ensuring the customer receives the value they're looking for.

    • Don't give a price over the phone, invite for consultationAlign with ethical approach, invite potential customers for consultation to assess individual needs, and avoid arbitrary pricing to build trust and better customer satisfaction

      When it comes to selling fitness memberships, it's important not to give a price over the phone. Instead, invite potential customers to come in for a consultation to assess their individual needs. This approach is more ethical and builds trust with the customer, as they feel that their specific goals and circumstances are being taken into consideration. By aligning ourselves with this approach, we not only avoid giving arbitrary prices, but also position ourselves as caring and attentive to the customer's needs. This method has been shown to be effective in getting people in the door without offending them, and ultimately leads to better customer satisfaction and retention. In summary, don't give a price over the phone, invite customers in for a consultation, and align yourself with the ethical approach of putting the customer first.

    • Effective communication strategies for successful sales consultationsInvesting time and effort in booking sales consultations and refining communication skills can lead to increased sales and revenue. Building a strong connection, understanding client needs, and effectively communicating value are key to successful consultations.

      Utilizing effective communication strategies, such as showcasing the benefits of your product or service and using persuasive language, can lead to successful sales consultations. These consultations can result in increased sales and revenue for your business. Therefore, it's important to invest time and effort in booking more sales consultations and refining your communication skills to maximize their potential. Additionally, being persistent and following up with potential clients can also lead to closed deals. Overall, the key to successful sales consultations lies in building a strong connection with your clients, understanding their needs, and effectively communicating the value of your offering.
