The second stage has you in preparation for initial contact with a
potential customer, researching the market and collecting all
relevant information regarding your product or service.
3. Approach
In the approach stage, you make first contact with your client. Sometimes
this is a face-to-face meeting, sometimes it’s over the phone. There are
three common approach methods.
In the closing stage, you get the decision from the client to move
forward
Depending on your business, you might try one of these three closing
strategies.
Alternative choice close: Assuming the sale and offering the prospect a
choice, where both options close the sale—for example, “Will you be
paying the whole fee up front or in installments?” or “Will that be cash
or charge?”
Extra inducement close: Offering something extra to get the prospect
to close, such as a free month of service or a discount
Standing room only close: Creating urgency by expressing that time is
of the essence—for example, “The price will be going up after this
month”.
7. Follow-up
Once you have closed the sale, your job is not done.
The follow-up stage keeps you in contact with customers you have
closed, not only for potential repeat business but for referrals as well.
Maintaining relationships is key.
